_____ABOUT ANGEL RENGELL & LUCCIA LIGNAN_____
Rengell and Lignan have an outstanding position at Present Contemporary Art. While this married couple share the same profession, and some of their artwork parallels figurative art, their approach is different.
Rengell , Sculptor, Painter and Exceptional Drawer, studies and purifies the lines until reaching their clearest expression; his nudes are a declared exaltation of the physical wish. He creates great artworks; because eroticism is part of his complete philosophy, his drawings establish a conception of skillfully represented lines, using all the expressive possibilities. "The Seductive Influence of the Moon," is a staple for his pearly feminine nudes; in painting, drawing, or sculpture, like a keen sense of passionate strip towards beautiful women. He knows how to combine the classical perfection of the form with his studies of the natural. In every one of his works reigns an erotic perfume, thanks to those attractive forms full of expression, motion, intensity, and carnal reality.
As for his masculine nudes, they show great character motion, expressive emotion, and they convince us of his profound knowledge of anatomy. As a painter, his creations are beautiful, with good understanding of the color, thanks to his experience in drawing, and the balance between the truth and the ideal. He cultivates the landscape and still-life with great beauty. His portraits are excecuted both in painting and in sculpture, maintianing the freshness of a Greek bronze sculpture; his models are filled with beauty, expression, and energy. As a sculptor, he begans with artworks of high-quality religious character, based on an aesthetic ideal and spiritual balance.
The physical beauty is amplified in the material world with grace, sweetness, and majesty. At the heart of his mind flows an aesthetic ideal between the architectural and monumental. A great sculptor of nudes and aesthete, this tireless artist is a designer too, begining an important motion in Europe.
Luccia Lignan , structures the shapes with rich modellings of color. Before undertaking any work, she thinks instinctively for days and weeks, creating established rules in her imagination. An order, balance, and audacity allow her canvas to have the sweetness of the color that flow, with great expressivity, of course, properly orchestrated. Her nudes talk to us about sensuality. Her women are sensitive and relaxed, they are grateful to be alive, and their gratitude is shown in their body language.
The Portrait, The Still-Life, and The Landscape form the parts of her production, demonstrating her pictorial discipline in The International Contemporary Art Scene. Also in splendid abstractions her mind sees a universe governed by textures and harmonic colors that stimulate the spectator; canvas full of colours, put in our face like a fountain of pure pleasure. All her nudes encompass an air of innocence, despite being very conscious of their charms. Whether they are individual figures or compositions, they take part in design for theatrical sceneries and murals.
