Description by the gallery owner

Giovanni Confortini's paintings represent the triumph of hyperrealist painting, showcasing extraordinary technical mastery and unique creativity. In his "Libro Veritas" series, he creates impeccable reproductions of bookcases, where the books are painted with an almost photographic realism. Each book is represented with its authentic title, written in the original font, but Confortini takes the liberty of reinterpreting the covers, changing the colors or adding details not present in the original.
A distinctive aspect of his work is the attention to detail on the book spines. While some volumes retain only the title, others are enriched with images the artist researches or imagines. For example, in the Elton John biography, Confortini painted a portrait of the singer on the spine, replacing the simple writing present in the actual book.
His works often have a clearly defined theme. Among his best-known works are his tributes to the 1980s, which immortalize the aesthetics and symbols of that era, and his monochrome series, in which the books are all painted in shades of a single color, like green or blue. His smaller paintings, however, focus on specific subjects, such as books dedicated to vintage watches or works in English.
