Landscape at Dusk Mixed Media on Wood 24”x 48”

MICHAEL MARTINO

M ichael Martino’s mixed media work appears deceptively simple. His work undulating with texture seems to breathe off the wood he uses as canvas. His works are dense, transcendent and almost abstract, the negative space pushing the scene toward the viewer. Martino views life as a paradox of motion “regardless how things seem to change, the more it all seems to stay the same,

” with his attention to the subtle details of his materials he captures this paradox in his art.

Martino recognizes the unique texture and feel of common construction materials, but, while the materials are classified as common and ordinary, there is nothing ordinary about the results—his panels are simple and elegant, and rich with the influence of the myth and metaphysics of world cultures that he loves.
Martino prefers that people spend time viewing his art, rather than listening to him explain it. In his estimation the best place for people to find answers and be introduced to his thoughts, feelings and perspective are through his uniquely personal and expressive panels, “the eclectic body of subject matter in my portfolio is the result of building each construct from an individual personal experience.” Each panel serves as a portal allowing artist and viewer to connect. That connection, that unity is how Martino measures success. Michael Martino received his B.F.A. and M.F.A. at the Pratt Institute, and resides in the New York Metropolitan area.

The paintings of C. Drum-mond reverberate with rhythmic, mesmerizing shapes in fields of rapturous color. Her works are stunning to behold; the fractured,multi-colored

“Everything begins and ends with art.” This is Enton Pan-ariti’s mantra. It should be no surprise, then, that nature is his theme. He approaches this theme directly so as to more clearly reveal it. He works with pastels on paper and eschews titles. He has a preference for blue, red, and yellow. There is spontaneity in his technique, which hinges on co-presence with the natural moment. “Reality itself suggests what

schemes draw the viewer in for a closer look. Born in Rio de Janeiro, a town famous for its high-spirited gatherings of Carnival, as well as its cultural diversity, Drummond captures the beauty and culture of Brazil with her palette strokes and brilliant colors. Her paintings, completed in oils, focus on social cooperation between people while living in an existence of peace and harmony. “When I complete a painting, my strongest wish, is that those who see it will be drawn into it and want to be part of the happy atmosphere.” The art world has responded to her work with rapt attention, her work is on display around the world, in galleries from Brazil to the United States, Spain and France. Drummond lives and works in the U.S. Website: http://www.chdrummond.com

to include and what to leave out,” Panariti relates. “Everything is there, so I don’t really need to rack my brain to be creative.” But part of that reality—and of nature—is the observer, in all his idiosyncrasy. “Interpreting nature is very personal to everyone,” Panariti explains; his own interpretations “try to catch the essence of humanity and nature itself.” These striking colorings of the natural reveal a perspective like van Gogh’s, where the mind and vision of the painter are ubiquitous in the art.
