At the Threshold of Perception Print

Bill Santelli’s paintings personify the defining movements of twentieth century art, abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction and surrealism. Santelli emphasizes these movements with amazing skill. His paintings at times expose the subconscious landscape of the mind. At other times, the canvas reveals the painted surface as the essential intention of the painting. Santelli is an artist seasoned by years of experience. He maintains a full-time studio practice in upstate NY. Santelli is an expressionist painter who approaches the canvas directly. His paintings integrate large geometric shapes defined by bold color combinations in a subconscious universe where past and present exist simultaneously. Through his art, Santelli places the viewer within the realm of his dreams and imagination as participants of his subconscious world.
