About The Artwork

Limited Edition Fine Art Print Il Cancello 2, No 1 of 5 Image size 22.5 x 18" on 34 x 28" sheet Also available: image size 13.5 x 11" on 22 x 17 sheet in an edition of 35, $350 "Il Cancello 2" This image is based on a gate that I discovered on one of my evening walks. It stopped me in my tracks with its ornate and mysterious beauty. In its symmetry and fine design it is the kind of timeless archetype that comes to me in dreams: a portal to another world. A variation on "Il Cancello 1," this print is much more abstract. This work is composed from my original painting and photography. It is not a reproduction of a painting, but a contemporary print in which the print is the only manifestation of the image in the physical world. The finished piece is meticulously proofed and printed on German Etching or Moab Entrada, using archival pigment inks rated to last for 100 years or more. The prints come with a certificate of authenticity verifying the edition number and the edition size. These prints are traditionally numbered and signed in light pencil with the number on the left and the signature on the right, just below the image. Prints are sold unframed. Due to the difference in monitor settings on various devices I cannot guarantee that the color match of what you receive will be exact compared to what the listing shows.

Throughout my work I explore impermanence as it occurs in the urban landscape and in nature. My architectural prints and mixed media pieces focus on the radical reshaping of the built landscape through gentrification and de-industrialization. As we are confronted with change and our relationship to it, I am interested in the question of how much of the past we value and hold onto, and how much we let go to make the future our “now.” My work lives on the edge between nostalgia and accommodation, mediating through the elements of surface and iconic structure to a conversation about history, identity and sense of place. I have been a calligrapher and letter form artist for much of my professional art career, creating well known brandmarks for film, books and packaging. I have created custom typographic identities for Kitty Kelly, Clive Barker, Naomi Judd, and Anne Rice among others, and movie titling for Dreamworks and Walt Disney. As a fine artist I bring my passion for mark making and the architecture of letter forms into the abstract realm. I have a calligrapher's subtle sense of surface and texture, and incorporate calligraphic mark making into many of my pieces. I use photography, digital composition, printmaking, mixed media and collage, shifting as needed to suit my subject matter. I embrace new media and the infinite ways in which the analog and the digital can be shaken, stirred and poured into a new creative form.
