Acrylic on canvas · 60 × 60 cm · 2017
Duke Ellington (2017) is a vibrant and dynamic painting by Francesco Ferrari, part of his Solo Jazz series. With bold expressive brushstrokes and a palette of tans, golds and heavy blacks, the artist captures Ellington as bandleader, arms wide, before a wall of trombones and trumpets.
The open gesture and the brass choir radiate swing, elegance and command. Ferrari turns this portrait of the Duke into a joyful celebration of jazz as orchestration and joy.
