The art of Nicola Verlato

Feb 17, 2007

There’s no place like home (2006).

Now here’s an artist—Italian, works in NYC—who makes most painters look like they’re slacking. No need to post more tiny jpegs when you can go to his site and see his extraordinary tempest-tossed cowgirls at a larger size. And there’s more oil-on-canvas mayhem at the Stux Gallery, New York.

His cow girls have a definite valkyries feel to them. Wonder what Richard Wagner would have made of them…

Very Valkyrie-esque with those blonde pigtails. But I can’t imagine Ride of the Valkyries being played on a banjo.
