ARTIST OF THE MONTH
FRANK COLETTA
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Circles, lines and broken glass
I've gone to a circle theme to experiment, to chop up, overlap and mix up any way I want. I wanted to see how far I could push a theme. One drawing led to another. The original subject was scenes from the Round Lake Nature Preserve off of Rt 67. Some of the forms are not from Round Lake but I felt like including them according to the needs.
I deliberately did not label any of them. They were all done within a month or so. I want them to speak for themselves. Maybe it is a result of how I have reacted to the Covid mess we are dealing with. I love those intersecting planes and forms. It was a very frustrating month and that emotion was transferred into my art. This show is now on exhibit in the Mechanicville Public Library for September and October.
Frank's paintings are for sale. If you are interested please contact him at:
