I AM A PART OF ART: CATA ANNUAL Art SHOW


(7/11) CLARK GROUP 7

Gallery wall with five paintings

ABOUT THESE PAINTINGS:

The paintings in this grouping share a kaleidoscopic approach to color and composition, each melding a vibrant array of hues into completely original works of art. In their watercolor paintings, John Milewski and Karlie Belliveau create colorful, expressive motifs set in relief to striking moments of blank space that shine through. In their landscape paintings, Jon Mello and Marissa Guzzo explore dreamlike environments through gauzy, rainbow-hued skies set against serene tree-lines, lakes, and valleys. Below them, Anthony Pansecchi’s elongated abstract painting explores contrasting formsโ€”modern, line-drawn circles and dots overlaid on a watercolor backgroundโ€”and Peter Wetteland’s chalk pastel painting offers a burst of color and form, calling to mind a brilliant fireworks finale.
