Italian Saturno Butto is an amazing figurative painter whose work von Scaramouche Gallery has admired for some years now. His works have been shown in galleries such as as the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin and the Mishin Gallery in San Francisco and he will take part in the upcoming Storytellers exhibition opening next month at Strychnin.
About The Sisters: Butto portrays two real-life siblings as allegories of their core desires. A black leather mask and a wreath of white flowers once again play on the theme of contrast, leading us to believe one sister is a deviant and the other an innocent. A closer look at the wreathed sister's defiant expression and the masked sister's demure gown reveals that they have more in common than is initially apparent, with a skull emphasizing their common fate. The viewer is left with a choice: to perceive The Sisters as a grim testament to mortality, as an encouraging reminder to indulge during the brief time we have, or perhaps as something else entirely – art's meaning is, as always, in the eye of the beholder.
