Gualtieri
Mark
Gualtieri is an abstract painter working in various
wet and dry mediums such as; watercolor, oil, acrylic
polymer emulsion, pastels, crayons, and pencils. Gualtieri's
endeavors cover a wide range of styles and theories
such as realism, naturalism, and abstract expressionism.
He has over 16 years experience as an artist in painting,
drawing, ceramics, and art history. When facing an
empty canvas, he begins by putting down a layer of
paint. It has color, texture and body. This succession
continues until the layers begin to interact; sometimes
with pleasure, sometimes hostility. He will often
add line and a veil of a different color. Through
this process, Gualtieri's paintings take on a life
of their own. In his work can see connections with
the great artists of post WWII American generation:
deKooning, Motherwell, and Gorky.
