Tension and mystery like in Giorgione's paintings, and at the same timethe atmosphere and storytelling style straight from Ottessa Moshfegh's books? These are the canvases of Brittany Fanning, one of the mostinteresting American painters of the young generation. Fanning isdeveloping his career with a bang. This season is already hers, and it'sabout to get even more interesting.
The first look at Brittany Fanning's canvases can be confusing - we are watching smooth pictures in the type of frames of Slim Aarons and snapshots from the golden age of Hollywood and postcard panoramas with buildings in the style of Versace Mansion in Miami. Everything is colorful and illuminated, greens and ochres are boiling from the canvases, as if someone turned up the saturation of the painting. The next minutes spent in front of the paintings dismantle this apparent simplicity and allow you to realize that the artist does not paint real places, but created, impossible spaces. Elements of the world of the American south - tennis courts, abyssal pools, Spanish undershades - combine in them with those from Europe: cypress groves, baskets of lemons and oranges. This is how Brittany Fanning generates seemingly idyllic lands in which balls bounces unhurriedly and gracefully and drinks. Oh. It may still seem that this painting is for the times in which the figuration celebrates commercial triumphs, and fresh graduates of the academy love sypo-instagram stories.
