In Franco Gervasio’s Lightland you can feel his love for art, his sensitive fellowship with the impressionists, who were painting en “plein-air” at the dawn of modernism and who immersed themselves in the nocturnal chills of city lights. You feel the Chiaristi’s knowledge of the early twentieth century in Turin, the sensitive figurative attention given to portraits and landscapes. The cautious attention given to modern art, from the anger of the CoBrA group, to the dances of Pollock, from the whispering and screaming of Marc Tobey to the pressing songs of George Mathieu. In 2007, Franco Gervasio's paintings, pictures and neon sculpturs have been exhibited in an anthological show in Istanbul titled Lights in Landscapes and curated by Ahmet Kamil Goren and Luigi Cerutti with texts by Ahmet Kamil Goren, Luigi Cerutti and Alessandro Ubertis. In the metropolis where East meets West the soul of the artist had to meet and show itself in a journey that collected and confronted his investigations starting from the late Sixties to this day.

Lights in Landscape – Lightland n. 3 2012, Glass, neon, argon, plexi, electric materials, 35x35x35cm.
