Cristina Vergano (born 1960) is a fine artist born and raised in Italy, presently living and working in New York City. Her classical, academic painting style offsets the highly imaginative content〔 〕 of her work. A playful, surreal vein runs through the artist's work, along with a subtle feminist concern and a wink to Pop art. Vergano’s paintings are populated with human-animal hybrid creatures,〔 〕 Muslim women in lingerie, flying saucers, word games, and amused references to Ingres, Picasso, Lichtenstein, and other masters, both old and modern. == Life == Born in Milano in 1960, Cristina Vergano studied at the International School of Milan, Liceo Cassini, and Universita' di Genova. Vergano painted and drew since early childhood, while absorbing a creative mindset and practical knowledge from her father and grandfather, both fine artists. Frequent and extensive visits to art museums and European travels created in the artist a lasting influence of classical balance〔 〕 and solid technique, while classical studies gave her work a conceptual basis. After obtaining a degree in Italian Letters and Art History, the artist permanently moved to the United States in 1984. Having lived in Florida and Georgia, Vergano moved to New York City in 1990, where she expanded her work to industrial design, creating a line of products for New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the Liberty Science Center. She also showed her paintings at the Elaine Benson Gallery, the Denise Bibro Gallery, the New York School of Interior design, the Chicago Athenaeum, the Parrish Art Museum and the New York Law School. In 1996 Vergano had her first solo exhibition at the Woodward Gallery in New York City, which has successfully shown and represented her since. In addition to the Woodward Gallery, recent venues for Vergano’s work have been: the University of Ohio, the Laguna Art Museum,〔 〕 the Art Museum at Florida International University, White Box, the City of Brea Art Gallery, the Decordova Museum, and the Anthropology Museum of the People of New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cristina Vergano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
