    the san clemente resort in venezia paintings on wood by mario eremita

    San Clemente Resort Venice

    The paintings by Mario and Michelangelo Eremita dedicated to the masks of the Comedia de l’Arte and beyond.

    Works created by Mario and Michelangelo Eremita in 2003 for Beni Stabili spa. A collection of panel paintings on the theme of the masks of the Comedia de l’Arte and beyond. The thirteen pieces were placed inside the “Le Maschere” restaurant of the San Clemente Island Resort in Venice.

    Each work measures 50 x 70 cm and is a painting on wood.

    The refinement of the lines and the shades of color stand out, making these classic themes still original and stimulating. In particular we focus on Flora, Pegasus, Poseidon, Ra and Venice. The former come from mythology and mysticism, the latter is a tribute to the city of Venice; everyone was transformed into masks, as if they were characters invited to a carnival party who wanted to wear the strangest disguises.

      artist studio by mario eremita

      The artist’s Mario Eremita Studio

      historical headquarters of the art studio in Paderno di Ponzano Veneto (Treviso)

      The artist Mario Eremita acquired his own art studio in 1991 in the town of Paderno di Ponzano Veneto in the province of Treviso. The property, consisting of two sections, a medieval watchtower, whose foundations date back approximately to the 13th century and an annex dating back to the 16th century, is in a state of serious deterioration.

      original structure

      After taking care of the renovation project, supported by his sons Nicola and Michelangelo, he decided to enrich it with multiple art inserts. The entrance, consisting of a large arch with a wrought iron gate, introduces an “opus incertum” mosaic, made with different types of granite, inspired by the theme of the sea, which represents three dolphins and two gigantic octopuses. The work extends over twenty-five square meters and is evocative and monumental. The perimeter walls instead accommodate: a work in stucco bas-relief, which represents girls playing various musical instruments and children playing, entitled “Harmony”; a wall painting entitled “The Seasons”, a girl carrying in her womb the fruits and flowers of the Seasons of the year.

      What is special about this Artist’s Studio are the stairs. They have become a support for bas-reliefs and paintings: everywhere, along the climb, you come across figures dancing or making music.

      The ceiling of the Painting Studio is entirely made in bas-relief and represents girls dancing in the sky.

      The room at the top of the tower is the last room of the Artist’s Studio. Here, along the walls, paintings are made with a particular technique that gives an effect of plasticity and freshness. Inserted in three arch-shaped niches, three women dance naked.

      In 2001 the Studio was sold to the artist photographer Andrea Pancino. He, passionate about Eremita’s works, redesigned all the rooms according to his own very refined aesthetic tastes, preserving and further enhancing the art of the previous owner. A few small moves and a calibrated intervention to remodel the spaces gave birth to an environment that elevates the quality of life, stimulating reflection, contemplation and the desire to always surround oneself with beautiful things. This architectural structure which, due to its antiquity and the different uses it has had over time, has taken on strong characteristics of suggestion and mystery, became an Artist’s Studio, receiving a unique expressive intensity, then passing through a new declination with the intervention of another artist, younger and with a different sensitivity, is a monument to the art that remains in the community of Ponzano Veneto. It is a mixture of emotions that are distributed between history and the present, between the material of art, concrete and spiritual, and the past which was concrete but which now lies, as a memory.

        artist mario eremita's house

        The artist’s Mario Eremita house

        The artist’s “casa picta” in Merlengo of Ponzano Veneto ( Treviso ).

        The artist Mario Eremita purchased the property in 1983. It is a very old house, the central part probably dates back to 1200. It was remodeled over time, finally becoming part of the neighboring Venetian Villa of Queen Cornaro of Cyprus where Giovan Battista Tiepolo painted his magnificent frescoes including the famous “Flora” , now preserved at the “Bailo” Museum in Treviso. The house was in a state of complete abandonment and Eremita intended to carry out a recovery that would keep the structures and openings intact but which would allow the interiors to be completely rethought so that they were suitable for hosting his contemporary art inserts. Inside, Eremita has freed his imagination by creating a personalized environment. The following were performed:

        • wall paintings with the theme of the seasons and apotropaic symbols;
        • wall and ceiling bas-reliefs in plastic stucco with the theme of musicians, cupids, fruit, female figures, amazons, flamenco;
        • Ceiling bas-reliefs in painted concrete with the theme of dancing female figures;
        • floor mosaic “opus incertum” technique with the use of marble and granite of various colors, with the marine theme of octopuses and mermaid;
        • outdoor plastic stucco bas-reliefs with the theme of cupids and musicians.

        This creation is a free expression of the imagination of the Artist who created an environment that is an expression of his art. The life lived inside an artist’s house is not comparable to that lived in a conventional home. The artistic embellishment of the premises offers a very stimulating dialectical perspective and makes the aesthetic experience a natural part of everyday life, allowing the enrichment of the mind, reflection and contemplation; experiences with high added value.

                  carlo goldoni's house sculpture and painting by mario eremita michelangelo eremita

                  House Carlo Goldoni Venezia

                  Artistic embellishments by Mario and Michelangelo Eremita at House Carlo Goldoni in Venezia.

                  Restored in 2010, Casa Carlo Goldoni is the result of the collaboration of the architect and artist Michelangelo Eremita and the artist Mario Eremita.

                  The architect Michelangelo Eremita designed this precious home and also personally created some decorative and design elements.

                  He designed and built the kitchen, covered with panels decorated with silver finishes that reproduce the theme of the reeds of the Venetian lagoon; the living room table, made up of an opus sectile mosaic of precious wood essences that reproduces the theme of the Venetian lagoon. He designed and assembled the chairs and the large bench in mahogany and steel, works of particular design.

                  Finally he designed and built the opus sectile mosaic in fine marble at the foot of the staircase, a work that represents the girl “Ester” and the two plaster sculptures that enrich the bedroom. The artist Mario Eremita dedicated himself exclusively to the bedroom, creating the headboard of the bed painted with the theme of children and the cornucopia and painting the furniture doors with the theme of the four seasons. Ingenuity and culture of art and design collaborated to create this pied-à-terre in the heart of Venice.

                    hotel saint nicholas sculpture by mario eremita

                    Hotel Saint Nicholas Remich Luxembourg

                    artistic ebellishments on the facade of the Hotel Saint Nicholas in Remich Luxembourg.

                    The artist Mario Eremita in 1994 was commissioned to decorate the external part of the facade of the Hotel Saint Nicholas in Remich Luxembourg. Yje client has no idea what he would like to create but wamts something that recalls the most important local attraction: the Moselle river.

                    In fact, it is precisely the calm and serenity of the river that attracts many tourists from Germany and France who come here to spend a few days on weekends and during holidays.

                    Mario Eremita proposes a bas-relief on the facade of the Hotel positioned along a band that runs along the entire front. The band is not very high, about 60 centimeters and extends for a few tens of meters.

                    As you can admire in the photos, the bas-relief proposes the figurative theme of boys and girls playing or engaged in dancing or fishing. The title of the artwork is: “Moselle Allegories”.

                    The reference to the Moselle is that of fishing, an activity that was once fundamental to the life of local populations.

                    Music and dance, which are a favorite theme of the artist, recall the ideal of harmony and serenity typical of those places.
