The
Albuquerque Fresco by Ilia Anossov
is a paradigm of a brilliant modern fresco. Its
technique is on the Grande scale, 23ft by 19ft. Viewing it is
reminiscent of watching a gigantic film, for this fresco
incorporates not only cinematic techniques, and reminders of the
most brilliant art, but also resounds of the painting of late
modern artists with a flair for whimsy, like Jean Miro, and Paul
Klee...

FRESCO
PAINTING |
|
. |
|
|
|
Affresco ( In English usage, “fresco” ). Painting done
on freshly laid wet plaster with pigments dissolved in
lime water. As both dry they become completely
integrated. Known as “true” fresco, this technique was
most popular from the late thirteenth to the
mid-sixteenth centuries. The common assumption that all
mural painting is fresco painting is an erroneous idea.
It is true that one can in fact paint on fresh plaster,
or intonaco, to make a painting in affresco or a fresco. In true fresco the artist must start applying his colors
on the wet (or fresco) intonaco as soon as it has been
prepared and laid on the wall. The colors can thus be
absorbed by the wet plaster. When it dries and hardens,
the colors become one with plaster. Technically speaking
the plaster does not “dry” but rather a chemical
reaction occurs in which calcium carbonate is formed as
a result of carbon dioxide from the air combining with
the calcium hydrate in the wet plaster.
