The composition represents three artists, two dancers intent on the tango choreography and a woman sitting next to her while she plays the bandoneon, a characteristic instrument of the milonguero tradition. The draping of the black shawl is particular and intense, which in the past was the most common accessory of venetian women.

The warm and lively shades highlight the moment of intense passion and creative tension while the starry sky recalls the desire for freedom and to fly high.

The mural was painted in a venetian residence a few steps from Piazza San Marco, in the heart of the historic city in a context of high, elegant, refined and sober tenor. With its chromatic power, the “tango” mural stands out even if the shades match those of the premises.

    Artwork presentation

    The sculpture was made with pine wood iron and silver. It represents the Nike’s winged head, wings are in the manner of Mercury, they protrude from the sides of the skull and are made with Campagnolo hubs and silver wire, the bust and shoulders of the figure are idealized like newspaper sheets and made with hand-beaten silver plate. The whole is of the highest level of refinement and stylistic value well beyond the classic rhetoric of the trophy but firmly positioned in the field of the most authentic artistic sculpture.

      The classic forty italian playing cards interpreted by Mario Eremita

      The forty italian playing cards, have inspired great artists because they are rich of mystery and history and they are rooted in the tradition of civilizations. They were imported from the East and their first intepreter was Andrea Mantegna. That first edition was published by venetian typographies.

      Mario Eremita interpreted in four versions the playing card suits, fascinated by those which are on all the gaming tables. These are four collections of forty original drawings, three in india ink and one in color. All four works are unpublished.

      He therefore imagined ancestral characters, dreams frequenters, suits bearers that are transformed into spectacular artworks.

      Collection 1974a india ink

      It is the first collection of the forty playing cards interpreted by Mario Eremita. It is from 1974 and is made by india ink on paper. You can appreciate the refine stroke and the powerful imagination that reworked the suits looking at these two samples taken from the collection, the seven of coins and the and the horse of clubs.

      Collection 1978b mixed technique

      It is the second collection of the forty plyaing cards interpreted by Mario Eremita. It is from 1978 and is made by mixed techinque on paper oil colors. Here there are two samples from the collection, the three of swords and the seven of cups. You can appreciate the delicate use of colors with the nuances the graphic drapery and the brand new imagination that revisited the classic iconography.

      Collection 1984c india ink

      Here is the third collection of the forty playing cards interpreted by Mario Eremita. It is from 1984 and is made by india ink on paper. Here two samples by the collection, the king of coins and the jack of cups. These two give the idea of the style, already different from the previous one of 1974 due to the stroke speed. The classical inconography is completely abandoned.

      Collection 2000d india ink

      The fourth collection of the forty italian playing cards intepreted by Mario Eremita closes the series. It is from 2000 and it is made by india ink on paper. Here two samples from the collection, the king of cups and the ace of cups. These two gives the idea of the style really different from the 1984 one. Here there is a more refined formal need and the addition of the frame. The classic iconography is partially recovered.

        The Major Arcana of the Tarot intepreted by Mario Eremita.

        The Major Arcana of the Tarot, have engaged great artists because they are rich in mystery and history and are rooted in the tradition of civilizations. They were imported from the East and their first intepreter was Andra Mantegna. That first edition was published by venetian typographies.

        The mysterious sequence of numbers and symbols, which enchants with its load of irrationality and which clashes with our society of programming, of calculation, of the strict rationality of the rejection of the otherworld, of superstition, of the supernatural, becomes the ideal territory for the artist always looking to innovative and reshape what is under the sun.

        Mario Eremita has interpreted the Tarot in various editions which, although dedicated to cultural traditions, are completely original in terms of style, stroke and also for some formal solutions. The editions are in oil color or india ink.

          Rummy playing cards intepreted by Mario Eremita tribute to wine and the grape harvest

          The fifty four Rummy Cards, india ink and pastel drawings on paper, made on 2015, artwork by the artist Mario Eremita.

          Here we can appreciate the delicacy of the graphics and color of these drawings, which subtly revisit the cards of the Texan Rummy, now widespread throughout the world and made famous by the Casinos and the 007 James Bond films.

          Eremita interpreted the 54 Rummy cards with bucolic figurative subjects, to pay homage to the italian winemaking tradition and the cultivation of the vineyard.

          A drink that represents one of the most important excellens of Italy, wine is linked here to a playful, positive activity that requires the use of the best strategic and mnemonic qualities.

          Celebration of happy living, of evenings spent with friends playing an intelligent game and sipping quality wines.

            Collection of the Venezia’s Palaces and Churches on the Gran Canal, drawings by Mario Eremita

            The artist Mario Eremita made this collection of more than fifty india ink drawings during two years of work.

            They are the the front elevations of the architectural works that ovelook the Venezia’s Gran Canal. These drawings reproduce these true monuments with the artist’s unmistakable style, each with its own history and mysteries.

            The Gran Canal and its architecture e la sua architettura are certainly among the most important riches of italian culture and civilization.

            Mario Eremita has graphically reconstructed all those works that were once the business cards of important and wealthy families of venetian merchants and nobles, emulating the spirit of Renaissance artists who were all fascinated by architecture. This architecture was also the symbol of the military power and Christian loyalty of its inhabitants.

            Even though they look alike, each one architecture reveals, thanks to the artist’s style, its particular and unique energy which originates from the talent of ancient architects, master stonecutters and carpenters who built them, enhancing the beauty of this immortal city.
