It's my wayPOP ART
to love life ...
It all started in August of 1977, I was seven years old,
My father took the newspaper from the newsstand, as he did every morning, and saw among the comics
"THE GIANT SPIDER-MAN #14".
He asked me: "do you want it?", I said yes...
he had never done it!
"...All of Umberto Gagliano's artistic production is a self-taught tribute to John Romita Sr., the great MARVEL comics artist who ignited the inspiration of the great pioneers of Pop-Art and enchanted him in 1977, at the age of seven, influencing his graphic style forever..."
"...Before realizing my paintings, I sometimes design, in pencil on paper, complex and detailed architectural compositions of monuments and buildings. Wonders and places of the world act as a backdrop to comic book characters in the foreground who are thus adapted to new settings..".
