Reverse Engineering Painting

Nov 3rd, 2009 Posted in Grab Bag, Modern Classical Training | Comments

This isn’t an actual post, but a plug. My school is hosting a free talk/discussion on Friday, November 13th.

Reverse Engineering Painting
Lecture and Discussion with Anthony Mastromatteo
Practitioners of contemporary realism have limited the possibilities of their language by placing their greatest emphasis on technical issues. We will explore further possibilities of visual language as utilized in the past through the breakdown and examination of various successful paintings and plot a path beyond pure technical execution. Along this path, each individual artist may thrive in his or her specific manner of expression.

Time: 6:30-9pm
Where: Janus Collaborative studio, 3rd Floor
Please join us for the evening.
RSVP info@januscollaborative.org

It should be an interesting lecture, followed by a great discussion among attendees. I’m looking forward to breaking up my academic study with such a topic. If you’re in the area or know someone in the area who might be interested, please spread the word.

Here are some images of the Open House (during the set-up) with some artwork in the background. Pics of the party will be posted elsewhere. What a great turn-out!

This week I’ll be posting more sketches and studies so keep an eye out!

Open House: See Artwork, Mingle and Be Merry

May 28th, 2009 Posted in Grab Bag | Comments

I’m busily preparing for the Janus Collaborative School of Art’s Open House Celebration.  If you’re in the city, head on over.  The studio in East Harlem, aka El Barrio.  It’ll be a blast.  Some of the founding instructors will be premiering never before seen artwork and pictures in progress.  Forget the wine, we’ll be celebrating the spring weather with some sangria.
