John Gentile
Piece description from the artist
I select a subject, I take most of the time on my own photograph, work on it to make changes, apply a grid, and show thru the line some real part of the original photo.
Then I project the sketch on canvas and paint in large scale with alterations and changes as required.
John Gentile was born and raised in Italy where he worked as a commercial artist. He returned to painting full-time in 1972 and is represented in numerous private collections in North and South America, as well as Europe.
Gentile’s Italian academic education and subsequent American creative influences provide many layers in his work; the mixed stylistic and expressive qualities of this Italian and American artist are revealed in the sharpened use of warm and expressive color, evocative of the Mediterranean region.
