Paesaggio Industriale

Paesaggio Industriale by Paul Vanzella

Paesaggio Industriale

translation: Industrial Landcsape
To me this is just what I like about the Italian landscape, found this area tucked away off a local highway… I basically followed the spaceship like monolith, and it was all there in front of me… red shipping container and all… I’m just really fascinated by this… some may find boring I find it intriguing.

    The red really anchors anotherwise very bare picture. Godd work, and a bit of a change of style!

    This is in no way boring, reminds me of a scene from the X Files. Love the gorgeous soft tones. Well spotted.

    Oh my, what an amazing landscape! Love that spaceship above the gorgeous red container, and the echoing of the red in the striped pole…..and that sky!!!

    Really looks like a scene from a sci-fi..colour harmony is awesome..what a very different view of Italy..fantastic!

    Paul this is so far from boring you may as well be talking the distance from Earth to Pluto! Love the geometric shapes set against rugged mountain beauty. The earth tones in the foreground really highlight the red in the shipping container and that golden light is to die for!

  • Paul Tupman

    Paul Tupman, 9 months ago

    Terrific find Paul.. what an awesome landscape with such unusual structures. The colouring and your technique in processing reminds me of old 60s style illustrations of how things might be in the future when we have settle on Mars.. and of course that would have been the year 2000! Love the angle on this too.. looks like you have stumbled on something hidden away..

  • Andrew Brown

    Anything but boring Paul. A wonderful futuristic landscape

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil..., 9 months ago

    Intriguing indeed!
    What a find, glad you followed your instincts!!
    So much can be visualized and imagined about what goes on here, this is a movie scene waiting for a script!!
    Amazing work mate!

    That’s a breathtaking shot Paul, congratulations. The scope of the landscape is impressive, it has the impression of a vast scope. And that Italian light is amazing. It paints everything with an intriguing local colour that reminds me of a tone poem. Anyway, enough bullshit from me, I love it.

  • Helen McLean

    Helen McLean, 9 months ago

    It looks so futuristic, it reminds me of the landscape in Starship Troopers!!!

  • Lucan Industries Unlimited

    Ahhh, wonderful, back to the lavatory….

  • Enrico Bettesworth

    Enrico Bettesw..., 9 months ago

    Certainly is intriguing Paul, another classic Vanzella moment… love the little red and white striped pole too which balances out the container well… great atmospheric perspective here too… another job well done, love it!

  • Juilee  Pryor

    Juilee Pryor, 9 months ago

    oh this is beautiful. classic vanzella imagery. wonderful and there is something about your sense of colour and placement. Subtle and elegant and its so glad to see you back on form kicking it again. I just love this. Its a bit like BySilent’s work. If you haven’t seen any of his utterly incredible works then look him up. He moderates the DaDaland group. Very similar sensibitily.

    marieancolie, 9 months ago

    I have always loved this kinf of photo.
    and what I like so much in Italy (country so close to my city) is the ability of the Italian
    in bridges and highway constructions, especially in mountain areas as ours .

  • Jeff  Burns

    Jeff Burns, 9 months ago

    Beautiful landscape the tones tho this are amazing.
    How could anyone in there right mind find this boring Paul.
    That dirt pile in the front makes the photo seem 3D
    The Red container is perfect you have a spectacular eye.
    This is so surreal I love it!

    bizarre and oddly beautiful dude

  • pauldrobertson

    pauldrobertson, 9 months ago

    the colours are separated by the slightest sliver of tonality (colour theory as u probably know. works well)

    Cheers Neil

  • David Spencer

    David Spencer, 9 months ago

    what I like about it (sorry for not reading all the comments but you get too many) is how it relates to Italian modernism. So proud, industrious and yet still relating to the handmade… the reason why italy is far behind in ‘technology’ but far ahead in hand mand engineering.

  • Rhys Jones

    Rhys Jones, 9 months ago

    Did this really exist?It looks make believe…Well done

  • Lisadee

    Lisadee, 9 months ago

    Whoa – wonderland, where’s Dr Smith and Will Robinson? In the Chariot no doubt. Fabulous capture Paul, love the counter balance between the small spire and the tall ‘dish’.

    Hey – thanks for all the amazing comments – yes, it is very Thunderbirds… that show had the best interior design… Thank you so much!

  • Bruce  Watson

    Bruce Watson, 9 months ago

    Thunderbirds or Lost in Space perhaps…but with a touch of Antonioni’s ‘Zabriske Point’ as well (I’m half imagining that tower to explode!). It truly is an intriguing vista well captured.

  • Daniela Reynoso Orozco

    Daniela Reynos..., 9 months ago

  • Jessica Tremp

    Jessica Tremp, 9 months ago

    that red just pops right out at you…fantastic colour combination

  • magicman

    magicman, 8 months ago

    there’s a little discord between the mountains/dirt and the buildings which if it was absent would render the image not as nearly interesting. two worlds collide.

  • Helen Bascom

    Helen Bascom, 8 months ago

    Very cool lighting. It has an old sci – fi movie feel too it. Love the touch of red.

  • Darren Burdell

    Darren Burdell, 8 months ago

    Really like this, I agree with the Thunderbirds comments, the cheques on the monolith and the biblical light on the hills make it for me.

  • Holly Werner

    Holly Werner, 8 months ago

  • Birgitta

    Birgitta, 8 months ago

    To me, it’s your editing that makes it so intriguing.

  • Michael Alesich

    Michael Alesich, 8 months ago

  • Deri Dority

    Deri Dority, 8 months ago

    Such a cool image! I love the contrast of the modern industrial buildings and colors with the surrounding landscape. It all seems to work together so well.

  • SNik

  • paulevelin

    paulevelin, 8 months ago

    fascinating…and looking at it a long time to figure out why it works so well

  • iCandor

    iCandor, 8 months ago

    Beautiful and a bit surreal, like from another (imaginary) planet. I like the colour tones.

  • Mark Hayward

    Mark Hayward, 8 months ago

    Real and unreal. What an amazing find… I would probably have caused an accident if I saw this out the bloody window on a highway! As always your p.proc. has brought this up beautifully. Good to see the old Vanzella is alive and well.

  • Astrid Pardew IPA

    Bellissimo! This is a most beautiful image.The subtlety of the colour balnce, the accent of the red; a painter could not have composed a better picture.

  • Paul Vanzella

    Paul Vanzellaworks here in reply to Janice Windle’s comment, 2 months ago

    wow – thanks janice, and your last line just moved me… ‘a painter could not have composed a better picture’ This makes it so worthwhile… big thank you!
