ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Lights Out Series: Delving into the decorative, the shape of a chandelier is what got me going and what could be more perfectly ornamental of an object to take from classic to crusty? Charcoal, pencil on rice paper print, patinated with polymer medium mounted on canvas brings the distressed destination I wanted for these gaudy but fun forms. Please note frame not included. The artwork depicts a stylized chandelier rendered with yellow and teal tones. The painting incorporates a drip technique where colors run vertically downward, giving the effect of a melting or bleeding chandelier. The chandelier's intricate details, including its candle holders and hanging crystals, are emphasized through a blend of sharp lines and diffused color washes. The artwork gives a sense of elegance contrasted with the abstract, almost chaotic dripping paint.

A self-taught artist from Paterson, NJ, Alfonse Pagano was an assistant to Len Lye in the 1970s before attending The School of Visual Arts and the New School in NYC. His work has been shown at numerous galleries and The Laguna Gloria Art Museum in Austin, Texas, and is held in various collections at The Carnegie Mellon Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1990 Alfonse Pagano took up photography and co-authored a photojournalism book entitled DREADS. With an introduction from Alice Walker, the book published in 1999 by Artisan/Workman Press is in its eighth printing. A move from NYC to Newark, NJ in 2011 inadvertently led to the development of a new technique forging both disciplines of painting and photography. At the height of COVID, Alfonse and his partner Rowena bought a 40-foot trawler and are presently cruising in the tropics trying like hell to figure out how to make art on a boat.
