Jon Parlangeli

My work is seeded in process painting and material discovery. Elements of sculpture, textural curiosities and color/form relationships combine to create a unique dimensional aesthetic in each work. There are also elements of nature and/or humanity in my work that, depending on what may be happening at the time, mix about with the abstract elements to create a sort of historic bibliophile in the paint. These “living” paintings represent the NEW BEAUTY as our complex evolution integrates with technology. They offer a strong personal understanding of where we are as a people today...complicated, curious, ever changing. They are predatory, hedonistic and redefine subject and medium.
