About The Dancing Satyr

Fluid lines of colour appear to dance across the canvas in this colourful abstract painting –a collaboration between Canadian visual artist Richard Tosczak and an Italian artist, Angela Letizia Renzi. Inspired by an Italian sculpture of a mythological creature—the Satyr (a figure caught between human and animal worlds) found by a fisherman in 1998, this expressive piece is rendered in yellow, orange, green, pink, orange and white. Renzi and Tosczak paint these canvases together and at the same time. Their artistic interaction is important to the works they create.

“The philosophical artistic formation of one and the literary humanistic of the other, are intertwined in a common vocabulary, a visual language of colour, gesture and form.”
Tosczak and Renzi
