SEPTEMBER MEETING - VINCE FORTE
Bronze Sculpture Demonstration and Slide Show.
"After a long distinguished career as an electric power engineer working in four states and as a manager/director of engineering for a third of New York State’s power grid I now enjoy a second career as a fine art oil painter with over 3 decades experience and as a sculptor. My representative realistic style paintings are easy to understand and they uplift the spirit through varied subjects of landscape, seascape, still life, interiors, religious themes, and portraits.
Private collectors in seven states have purchased my paintings which are now displayed as far west as Colorado and along the east coast from the Northeast to Florida. One of my realistic paintings is owned and displayed in a Catholic church. I also have two abstract works in a second Catholic church.
In addition I have completed, as an artisan, a bronze bust originally sculpted by my father, which is owned by the City of Albany, NY and permanently displayed in a public park. In like manner I completed a full figure bronze of the 72nd mayor of Albany - Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd. Recently I restored two bronze sculptures and also created a new deep relief of WWI hero Sergeant Henry Johnson." - Vince Forte
