News & Press
Born in Agropoli Italy, Giocondo creates deeply emotive and engaging paintings which tend to capture a subject’s fleeting form whilst exploring the human condition juxtaposed with visual plays on the sublime and grotesque. The scenes and subjects are dramatised through Giocondo’s theatrical lighting and coloration which references the Old Masters of the Renaissance. Time is frozen but his works are never static. In his studio, characters become ghosts.
The flabby muscle, the distorted faces, annihilation and the nihilist’s indifference towards the viewer show how a shape can autonomously evoke another feeling. Power or tension. Fear or elation. Giocondo carves into the figures in a never-ending search for the final form. Giocondo’s selected medium oils and process of painting provides the opportunity for reflection and to see the implications of each shape and colour forming within the work.
The audience becomes a spectator to a private moment. Our voyeuristic tendencies and morbid curiosities are aroused by Giocondo’s uncanny subjects and what may be deemed by some as his antiquated painting style.
