Vincent Desiderio, one of my favorite professors from NYAA, is going to have an exhibition at Marlborough Gallery Sept. 15th, 2001 through October 15th.
“The Directors of Marlborough Chelsea are pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Vincent Desiderio. Featuring eighteen new paintings in oil and mixed media, this will be Desiderio’s seventh exhibition with Marlborough Gallery. The show will open with a reception from six to eight in the evening on Thursday, September 15, 2011, and will be on view through October 15 at 545 W. 25th Street. Vincent Desiderio’s new work revels in the uninhibited toughness of paint. He exploits this toughness to underscore the absolute presence of the work in all its unapologetic materiality. As such this work demonstrates the unique capacity of painting to anchor the viewer in a tangible present tense of viewing, while inducing a trance of speculation regarding, among other things, the nature of illusion.”

I remember him suggesting that I add color variations into the shadows, and it’s something that I always try to keep in mind.
