Sweeping brushwork sits against areas of mottled, almost granular texture, allowing the paper to shift between dense fields of pigment and more open, atmospheric passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne composition is warmer and more restrained, while the reverse introduces stronger golden tones and deeper areas of brown, with a small flash of red emerging through the surface. The artist’s name, “Angel Darisio,” appears on one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is presented in a simple natural oak frame suspended from a dark rubber band for hanging. This open construction is particularly suited to the painting’s double-sided nature, allowing either composition to face outward and giving the piece an unusual versatility on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngel Darisio (born 1951) is a Franco-Italian artist whose work bridges abstraction, writing, and material experimentation. Emerging in the late 1970s, Darisio developed a visual language grounded in the dialogue between gesture and structure — where paint, pigment, and the trace of the hand become a form of written expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking across painting, works on paper, and installation, Darisio’s compositions explore the tension between surface and depth, silence and inscription. His practice reflects the broader European movement of lyrical abstraction and concrete poetry, where the mark itself becomes both symbol and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1992, the Bibliothèque Méjanes in Aix-en-Provence presented Darisio’s exhibition Œuvres Écrites, in dialogue with Italian artist Franco Beltrametti. The exhibition highlighted his meditative approach to abstraction — layered, chromatic fields that evoke palimpsests of thought and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarisio’s works have circulated through French, Italian, and British galleries, including presentations with Streett Marburg \u0026amp; Charlotte Casadéjus (London) and Proantic (Paris). His pieces from the 1970s–1990s — such as Calligram and the Œuvres Écrites series — are recognized for their balance of restraint and emotion, situating him among the lineage of European painters who merged art and language into a single poetic gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51252597358903,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/jCNcUcHBhr88B0DUIwVfbT6c18asYZZPBUyXWIL8IXk.jpg?v=1790383113","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/french-mixed-media-painting-on-paper-no-03-by-angel-darisio","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
