"Paint Skin Part III, The Re-Animation"
Page 3 of 3

Author: Al_Razza, Contributing Editor

The above work is tilted Gearilla II, Mixed Medium, 48" x 48" 2006, and is among my newest work, where the machine under the work is revealed.

So it goes.

In my newest series, I have taken to creating a kind of visual autopsy. Where I dissect my own work, and reveal a sense of how it lives, to see the machine inside the artwork, as it were. They are about looking at what lies beneath. They are not literal dissections, only symbolic suggestions that something else is behind the surface. You can see these new works at Art Expo NY, March 1-5, 2007, the Jacob Javitz Convention Center Booth 342. Stop in and say hello.

In 1979 he moved to South Florida, but in 1982 he returned to the North to attend graduate school at Pratt Institute in New York. He was awarded two fellowships and offered an assistantship there, but was unable to complete the masters program due to financial hardships. Upon returning to Florida in 1983, he began to do outdoor art festivals, and worked as a printer in research and development for a local manufacturer of printing presses. He assisted in the development of printing processes for 3 dimensional objects, such as those that might be used to print on bottles, pens, and VHS tapes. In 1989 he went back to school, attending Flordia Atlantic University where he worked to complete teacher certification, which he did in 1991. Shortly there after he was successul in winning the covetted South Florida Art Consortium Fellowship, which was a $15000 cash stipend, awarded for artistic excellence. The award was followed by an exhibition of his work at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, Florida. Since then he has gone on to develop new painting techniques and has taught in the Broward County School System. He is currently an art teacher at the Coral Springs Museum of Art School. In 1995 he started Design Crafters Inc. A small custom frame shop, which is now a fine art gallery, school, and art supply center, which still offers quality custom frame work and restoration of Fine Art. His works have been continuously exhibited.
