Luigi Pretin Art
Luigi Pretin was born in Chioggia, Italy on June 8, 1938. A very young part in Morocco, then he went to Portugal, then to Spain and finally, he arrived in France. This nation had a great influence on him. In Paris, they soon ranked him among the research painters. In the Parisian environment, he is therefore acquainted with many artists, including the master's De Chirico and Salvador Dali. And it is precisely Dalì who has great persuasive power over him; so much so that for a certain period he embraces the "Surrealism" that then abandons to elaborate an original painting in which the dream and the reality are merged by merging the oneiric element and the matter. In December 2007, in Paris, Luigi Pretin ranked 3rd in the First International Eiffel Trophy. After the Parisian experience, he returned to Italy to settle first in Turin, then in Albissola, where he opened a new studio, continuing to maintain contacts with Italian and foreign galleries.

Volcano Eruption - Explosive Fire Lava Flow from Hell
By Peter Ellenshaw
Located in Miami, FL
A Fiery Hell is depicted as a volcano that spews flames and lava dust into the air. According to the Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw Family Archive, this work was shown to Stanly Kubrick for a Paradise Lost, movie concept. Peter had created matte paintings for Kubrick's Spartacus in 1960 and they continued their professional friendship for years to come. Peter did some collaboration with TRON in 1982. Unfortunately, the movie concept for John Miltons, Paradise Lost, was not brought into production. An erupting volcano is also an powerful metaphor for many human conditions.
Ellenshaw (1913–2007) was a highly regarded matte painter and special-effects creator whose filmography includes Old Yeller (1957), Swiss Family Robinson...
