Acclaimed
realist painter and founder of Chicago's School of Representational Art,
Bruno Surdo is a proven expert at adapting age-old archetypes and
mythological themes to present-day settings. Bruno
Surdo’s compositions set modern-day subjects in the style of the Old
Masters. Adapting time-honored methods of painting to present-day settings
fills each work with tension and rhythm. Surdo’s scenes of contemporary
subjects struggling with the rigors of modern life weave perfectly with
the impassioned compositions of classical painting. Flawlessly rendered
forms in emotive poses create a distinct atmosphere of intrigue and
wonder, only found in the grand tradition of representational painting.
