The corean Hyndai car is showing up with a new robe.

October 16th, 2009, 19 p.m., Paris.
Automotion and the french Hyundai company, are setting up a showroom with the participation of a talented italian painter, Salvatore Verniti, drawing on the car, mixing art and the automobile technology. The Automotion director (Lionel) is explaining to us that it is an innovative idea from the artist Verniti. This artist was a regular client of the french company. One day, while going to the concessionary, he had the idea to use his paintings to decorate a car. Lionel liked the idea and decided to make it a reality, using the opportunity of the next showroom. It took 3 months. The company want to put the paintings on the i10 cars. At the showroom opening, the painted car was a real attraction. The walls around were covered with 53 of the artist paintings. The paintings represent french and italian landscapes. Lionel is saying that the corean automobile business is doing well and the sales are optimistic.

The Director of the compilation, Mister Oliver FURON-BAZAN, writes :

C’était à Venise de René Le Bars. Paintings : Salvatore Verniti (Editions du bout de la rue) price : 10 euros

This type of small compilation can only meet with success and finally come across a strong concurrence very quickly with plagiarists who think that “haîkus” and paintings can easily mix well together. However, an easy perspective doesn’t exist because it has been a must for the author to find an excellent painter. René Le Bars has found on his way the equivalent of his writings...... bravo. And those fourteen original paintings are simply matching perfectly this “haîku” introduction “Un matin frileux – L’aube est entrée dans mon âme – C’était à Venise”. Beauty of the colors, memory’s magic, discovery of romantic walks with “L’esquif en sommeil – hors du temps et des saisons – Balance ses rêves”.
O.F.B.

The numerous Salvatore Verniti’s paintings (young italian living in the French capital since a few years) are carrying the stamp of the most limpid luminosity of the Napolitan Gulf where Torre Annunziata, his native land that he repeatedly presents us, which he forces on a range of green and blue with a thousand touches of silvered whites and reds placed gradually to melt into golden yellows : an evocation of the “Campagne Felix” and of the splendid partitions of Pompeii and Herculaneum houses.
Very evocative his “hackney carriages”; very attractive his intense green landscapes and the waters which are giving bright gleams.
With very great taste his spatula strokes, in an almost horizontal light.

Since a couple of days about 50 paintings are exhibited at the French-Italian Circle. This exhibition is gathering the works of 3 transalpine painters living in Paris. A very interesting trio because each artist belongs to a different school. Miss Fiorentini represents the one from Rome, the Professor Rampini the Venitian one and Mr Verniti the school from Napoli.
Nonetheless to say that theses sources are illustrating results of a glowing diversity with very personalized tendencies. The varnishing day at the exhibition took place on Wednesday evening at 20h30, with numerous visitors among which one could recognizes : Mr Ludovic Masetti, Italian vice-consul, the Lyon general consul’s secretary, Mgr Jourjon, vicar-general, Mr Chacornac, chief writer of “La Depêche”, Mr R.P. Gallo, Mrs Agostini, Gay, Rousset, etc....
Mr Michel Soulié, chief writer of “La Tribune” apologized for not being able to participate. Two of the painters were present at the varnishing day : Mrs Fiorentini and Mr Verniti, the professor Rampini being held by the Sweden’s King Court where he is actually working. Then everybody went to the conference room where Mr Pougheon has been putting on a series of movies especially interesting because they were completing the jolly brightness carried out by the exhibition. They were indeed pictures of Amalfi, Assise, Sicily and Calabria splashed with light and vibrating with the joy of life.

“La Dépêche” Saint-Etienne – France – April 14th, 1963

Mister Salvatore Verniti from the Napolitan School, is bringing all his strenght and dynamism of his youth in his paintings where we can find a beautiful luminosity. He is trying himself at different styles, but his works always carry the marks of originality. He also fell in love with Paris, and Notre-Dame is having an important place in his paintings. If his tormented temper comes out of most of his paintings, he also know how to reveal a more tranquil temper and go abruptly from representational art to the abstract. He has devoted a large part of his exhibition to “hackney carriages” subject from a litle original italian city and poesy and delicacy are not lacking.
On the whole, an exhibition which deserves a way round.

April 13th and 14th 1963 – “La Tribune” Saint-Etienne

Salvatore Verniti’s works are also luminous; they reveal, with softness and simplicity, the vues of Paris and the desuet charm of old bridges on the “Seine”, the Place Pigalle caught in a warm summer atmosphere. His napolitan temper, full of life and enthousiastic is present in his wide sunny paintings where the colors are singing his native province of Torre Annunziata, or the port of Napoli, or also the old hackney-carriages stopped over a tranquil place where the density of shadows and lights are so well balanced that we easily recall the warm meridional atmosphere at nap’s time.

S. Verniti personal exhibition.

The painter, Salvatore Verniti, is showing his recent paintings to a showroom at the Italian Trade Chamber (134, etc.....). Born in Torre Annunziata in 1937, a Master degree in Superior Arts and Drawing, Verniti paints in a free, pure and transparent spirit with fresh tones entirely personal. He has participated to diverse exhibitions in Italy and has done five personal exhibitions. In France he has joined the “European contemporary Art Exhibition”, always getting flattering successives critics along with honorables comments. His art contains the youth “turbulence” together with a muddy mixed technique. He captures the attention with the rupture of the teaching of the past to respect the values of inspiration of the present.
The Verniti paintings, rich with poetic inspiration, are always reaching an efficient solution, personal and creative.

Born in Torre Annunziata in 1937 he studied at the Art Institute of Napoli. He participated in different collectivities and has already exhibited his paintings. In his paintings there is the light of the “Macchiaioli” and the enchantment of the “Impressionist”. One doesn’t konw if the drawings of his seductive landscapes are due to the technique of the first or are referring to the revolution of the second. But it is certain that the color is abundant and dominates in its variety of melange and conception. In his self portraits one detect a tormented spirit of conquest.

The Newspaper “Il Mattino”, October 12th, 1960.

In the library of the city of Torre Annunziata, Salvatore Verniti, a young painter already known for his different exhibitions in several cities of our region, is showing his first exhibition in his native city. 30 pieces are on exhibition : thirteen paintings and seventeen drawings made with ink. In his paintings one can find very warm colors and through the landscapes one can detect a temper meant to grow even better; finer, the drawings report the streets of Paris, just imaginative and evanescent. On the whole Verniti is revealing himself as a confirmed artist with a great experience, a better balance and a future ahead of him. That’s what a Art specialist, Mr Giuseppe Gallo, was saying about him : “One’s attention is easily caught by Verniti's paintings which seem to be realized in a free joyful limpid spirit.
