da pino signori's square treviso sculptures and paintings by mario eremita

Restaurant Da Pino Signori square Treviso

ManagerCaos Leave a comment
Mario Eremita’s sculptures dedicated to music and dance.

Works carried out in 1990 at the Da Pino Restaurant in Piazza dei Signori in Treviso. These are stucco bas-reliefs and 18-carat gold foil coverings. The restaurant is located within the complex of the Palazzo dei Trecento, a building dating back to 1185, completed in 1268. Inside there are suggestive barrel vaults which have been covered with 18 carat gold leaf. Plastic stucco bas-reliefs with the theme of dance and music were placed on the walls.

The artistic layout is a personal expression of the artist’s imagination in concert with the technical and formal needs of the places. The quality of time spent inside the premises of the “Da Pino” restaurant is not comparable to that spent in a conventional public place; but it comes close to the experience of visiting a museum.

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 our mind; allowing reflection and contemplation, experiences with high added value.

In the past, these experiences did not have a specific and dedicated location ( museum, art gallery ); but they served as a corollary to mystical or more concrete contact with power.
Today we can bring the experience of art to community gathering places without any justification other than the intent to provide a positive emotion.

    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.

        Paintings, sculptures and bas-reliefs for Primo Piano Studio in Treviso

        The studio has been entirely enriched with art inserts, works by Mario Eremita and his son Michelangelo Eremita. The name of the place itself has been interpreted and inserted into a bronze sculpture.

        There are: a plastic stucco bas-relief measuring 2 meters in length and 1.2 meters in height with the theme of musicians and the cornucopia; paintings on wood dedicated to mythological themes such as “the birth of Venus”; “Venus”; “Apollo and Daphne”; “Endymion”; “Venetian Lagoon”.

        The works and themes performed are the result of philological research which aimed to associate the classic cultural references of aesthetic beauty with body care. Greek mythology was chosen for these inserts. The works were created between 1999 and 2001.

          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.
