These began as ink and watercolor journal entries while spending a very healing time in St. John, USVI and Long Island, Bahamas. I could not stop making them when I got home and they’ve developed to become more textured and layered. Included to the process now are gold/copper leaf, rice paper, resin on a 5x7/4x6 hardboard. Some are made individually, others in small groups and the larger pieces are mounted to an unstretched canvas. After two years of delving deep in political expression with my work, I welcomed the playfulness of these patinated pieces. "Ink Water Gold" is a textured assemblage featuring vibrant turquoise hues and intricate patterns. The composition is made up of multiple square panels arranged in a grid, each displaying unique geometric cut-outs, embossed designs, and raised grids. The worn look adds character and depth, suggesting a sense of decay or intentional distressing. The monochromatic color scheme and array of textures provide a rich, tactile experience, evoking a feeling of weathered beauty and repetition.

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.
