Jungle animals, sharks, and a cottage are depicted an impossible coastal setting. Proportion and perspective are distorted in keeping with the naive style for which Del Favero was known.
Excerpt
Bruno del Favero made his living as a mason, chauffeur, and landscape gardener. It is not known when or why he began to paint his odd, impenetrable landscapes. He kept a studio in his basement, but never shared his art with his wife and five children. After del Favero's death, his family introduced his work to New York dealers Shari Cavin and Randall Morris in the late 1990s. Del Favero's first one-man show outside Greenwich was held at the Cavin-Morris Gallery in 1998.
