We recently discovered the work of Norwegian contemporary artist Rune Guneriussen. Rune incorporates his love for sculpture into the landscapes that he photographs. The use of mixed mediums are an absolute delight to the senses. Working completely on-site, Rune combines everyday objects with the natural landscape to create photographs that are so stunning and realistic that you feel like you can just reach out and touch the elements in the pictures.

He refers to himself as a “conceptual artist” and spends days, if not weeks, out in nature assembling his sculptures and waiting for just the right lighting and conditions to shoot his pictures. Nothing is altered from the original shot, and the assemblages are unique, each only being completed one time. The way he juxtaposes such disparate objects with the natural environment results in a collection of fantastic works full of pure wonderment. Despite the obvious intrusions of these objects upon their surroundings, the end result conveys a sense of peace and harmony that calm the viewer and elicit feelings of unity and order.

“Rune Guneriussen has created a completely unique and surreal world with his photography,” said Charles Fazzino. “I just love the compositions and the fact that he creates all of this on-site just makes it more compelling. I can only imagine the stories he must be able to tell about the completion of some of these works. He immerses himself in natural beauty and then transforms it with his sculptural interpretations of the world around him.”

You can see more of Rune Guneriussen’s work at Waltman Ortega Fine Art in Miami and Galerie Olivier Waltman in Paris. Both galleries are associated with the Galerie Artima, the exclusive representatives for Charles Fazzino in France, Belgium, and the UK.

Charles Fazzino just completed another week of All-Star Game activities in San Diego….and he was a hit with fans and the media like. His whirlwind media tour took him from Fox5 San Diego, to KUSI, NBC7, ABC, MLB.com, and the San Diego Union Tribune.

His entire baseball art collection was exhibited at MLB Fanfest for 5 days, and the home plate he painted for Major League Baseball went down on the field at Petco Park for the ceremonial first pitch of the All-Star Game. Former MLB All-Star Fred Lynn came by for a visit and Charles had the opportunity to meet many of his collectors and fans…young and old alike!

Charles Fazzino Appearing at Wentworth Art Galleries in Bethesda MD & McClean, VA

Gallery Debut of The New Superhero Series

Internationally acclaimed 3D Pop artist Charles Fazzino will make two appearances on Saturday, July 23rd in the Washington, DC area. He will be at the Wentworth Gallery in the Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, MD from 1pm – 4pm, and the Wentworth Gallery at Tysons Corner in McClean, VA from 6pm – 9. The event will feature the artist’s newest 3D fine art releases including “Superman Saves the Day” and “Batman Rules the Night” Charles Fazzino will be on hand to sign the new pieces, along with a selection of his other limited edition artworks.

For more information about the Gallery Debut of The New Superhero Series please visit the Wentworth Gallery or comment below!

Fazzino re-enters the world of popular culture with a particularly timely diptych: Batman Rules the Night & Superman Saves the day.

Batman and Superman Compete for Your Wall Space

“I did a piece a number of years ago called Batman: The Dark Knight,” commented Fazzino. “Ever since then, I have wanted to return to the world of DC Comics. And with the release of the move Batman v Superman, it just seemed like the right time. We had so much fun putting these together and I love the juxtaposition of the Batman nighttime piece and the Superman daytime piece. They work great together or separately. That was my goal from the beginning.”

Both pieces meld together different generations of super villains, but in the world of Fazzino, Batman and Superman conquer all! Fazzino takes us from the classic Riddler, Joker, Lex Luther, and Brainiac to the more recently introduced characters like Poison Ivy, Doomsday, and Darkside. The 3D Fazzino style brings them all to life in a unique and compelling way.

Batman: The Dark Knight

While this is the first limited edition Fazzino has released with Superman as its subject, Batman Rules the Night is actually the second appearance for the caped crusader in a Fazzino composition. Batman: The Dark Knight was released in 2009. Collectors have anticipated the new series ever since!

Contact your favorite authorized Fazzino Art Gallery for purchasing information for “Batman Rules the Night” or “Superman Saves the Day” or visit our current editions page for all of the currently available Fazzino artwork.

Charles Fazzino just can’t stand still! His latest creation: Free-standing, limited-edition, 3D plexiglass sculptures.

“I always want to come up with something new,” said Fazzino “I think the key for me artistically is to continue finding new outlets for my 3D style of art. I find a lot of inspiration when I travel, and the plexiglass sculptures started with something I saw in Europe a few years ago. I’ve been doing originals but wanted to find a way to make multiples that were more affordable… and actually make them look even better. My staff and I spent months in development with these limited editions and we’re happy to be able to release them to the art galleries.”

The new line of sculptures is launching with three different images: New York, Paris, and Venice. Each is available in a limited edition of only 50 pieces. The images are separated and then printed on 3 different layers of plexiglass. The layers are then encased again in plexiglass to give the sculpture a sturdy foundation and a deeper perspective.

The love affair between the city of Stamford, Connecticut and the Fazzino’s continued this summer. Earlier this year, the Stamford Downtown organization approached the artist and asked him to decorate one of the informational kiosk structures in the city. Together with his daughter Heather, Charles began a creative process that resulted in …. “Downtown Dogs in Stamford,” a collaborative effort.

“I have enjoyed working with my daughter,” said Charles Fazzino. “When Stamford came to me with this idea, i thought it was a perfect opportunity to meld Heather’s dogs with my cityscape backdrop into a piece of artwork that would brighten up the surroundings and draw some attention to Stamford and all of its beautification efforts. It took us a few months to get it realized, but it was fun to be with Heather and put on the final touches together.”

Where is the Kiosk Located?

The Kiosk is located at 189 Bedford Street in front of Cappriccio’s Cafe. So if you’re in town…..check it out!

Charles Fazzino, along with the rest of the nation, has been closely following the historic 2016 Presidential Election. A few months ago, he was inspired to create his own artistic commentary of the current state of affairs.

We Shall Overcomb meets 50 Shades of Pantsuits

Charles spent about 4 months working on this sculpture, constantly updating the content as the election has progressed. The base is a fiberglass question mark he had specially cast for a series of sculptures, the first of which is actually a commentary on the future of the world’s financial markets. The artwork is a mixed-media work consisting of acrylic, archival papers, collage, and Swarovski Crystals.

Charles Fazzino recently released a follow up to his successful aluminum limited edition “Midnight in Manhattan.” “Midnight in Paris” is designed to be the second in what will be a multi-piece series and is available in the same size and color options as “Midnight in Manhattan.”

“I am so enamored with the way these city pieces are coming out on the aluminum,” said Fazzino. “Original Midnight in Manhattan was designed to stand alone but I thought it was so interesting that I’ve decided to turn it into a series. We’re releasing Paris now and I’m thinking about Venice for the next one. They will all be designed to be hung together or separately.” Like “Midnight in Manhattan,” “Midnight in Paris is available as a black & white print, a full color print, or a blue or green monochromatic print.  All four variations are shown below.

Midnight in Paris Continues Fazzino’s Trend Towards Aluminum

It was a few short years ago that Charles Fazzino decided to experiment with printing his images on sheets of aluminum. He had no idea at the time that he was introducing a whole new interpretation of Fazzino to his collector and gallery base. “I knew the aluminum prints looked interesting to me,” Said Fazzino. “But I really had no idea how they would be received by my collectors. Turns out that this derivative of my 3D prints has opened up a whole new world for me…both figuratively and realistically. The aluminum prints are popular now all over the world and frankly, we are having a hard time keeping up with demand.”
