ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A lifetime habit of picking up objects in my path often found flattened, these items are part of an ongoing collection I call Road Kill. After I take a detailed photograph of the flattened find, I print that image on rice paper. The rice paper print is then mounted on an unstretched canvas with resin where I may add graphite, paint or pencil. Rice paper is a staple in my palette for its translucency and texture. Durable and delicate, rice paper prints translate details with tack sharpness. After it has adhered to the canvas, the print goes through its last transformation when it's sanded down to a smooth but texture rich looking surface.v

Alfonse Pagano
United States
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.
