JAMES DEL GROSSO
King Zippo - 2012
oil on panel
18 x 24 in. (7 x 9 cm)
The objects depicted in the artist’s recent work are familiar ones. They are simple, man-made objects that produce light: flashlights, light bulbs, and the commonplace, iconic Zippo lighter. Del Grosso works with thin washes and glazes of color, slowly clarifying the images, adding one layer upon another to achieve the effects he desires. It allows him to give a clear and large-scale experience of the basic act of seeing. |
MARK PERROTT
Goodyear
gelatin silver print
35 x 58 in. (89 x 147 cm)
Rooftop signs used to be common, proclaiming well-known consumer and industrial products and corporations like Domino Sugar in Baltimore, MD; Firestone Tire, in Akron, Ohio; and Shelton Corrugated Paper Products, Secaucus, N.J. Over the past 20 years Perrott has been crisscrossing the country in an effort to document as many of these magnificent rooftop mounted signs as he can, before they succumb to the ravages of time, and the inevitability of modernization. Like the signs they document, these thumb tacked, multi-panel photographs are large, ranging from 4 x 5 feet to 3 x 10 feet. |

Art of the Real: Realist Watercolors
The group’s love of craftsmanship and the ability to provide a realistic interpretation of their chosen subjects is apparent. However their art is not just about portraying realistic elements, or proving their superb technical ability, but an endeavor to transmit hidden meaning. Their endearment towards and emotional attachment to each and every chosen structure is in itself a reason to form a collective celebration of real art. |
