Gaetano Tranchino (born 1938) is a Sicilian painter, known for his depictions of his native Sicily. Tranchino has been active in the art world since 1964, exhibiting his work extensively in Italy and internationally.[1]
Biography
editGaetano Tranchino was born in Syracuse (Siracusa), Sicily in 1938. A close friend of the writer Leonardo Sciascia and the photographer Ferdinando Scianna, Tranchino has, since 1964, exhibited throughout Italy and beyond.
Critical responses
editTranchino's work is typified by distinctive, colour-infused images that present a dreamlike and somewhat introspective vision of his native Sicily, fusing myth and personal memories of, especially, the postwar period of his childhood and youth. Motifs of departing ships (often under a full plume of steam), solitary readers and walkers, the rich and almost idyllic landscapes of rural or small-city life, appear again and again in his work, connecting and refining images made sometimes decades apart.
