NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will showcase the original works of Albuquerque artist Roger DiCamillo in the "Emerging Visions" exhibition. The event will commence on January 21, 2017, and run until February 10, 2017, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 26, from 6-8 PM.
Roger DiCamillo's paintings are a mesmerizing blend of the Italian hillside and coastal cliffside houses, enveloped by the sky and sea. Utilizing oils on canvas, DiCamillo crafts images that are not only captivating but also serve as intricate studies in shape and color. "The paintings I create usually start with nothing in mind and evolve from the shapes that take place on the canvas," he explains. His works juxtapose the structured forms of the built environment with the spontaneous qualities of nature, creating a harmonious balance.
DiCamillo's background in architecture significantly influences his art. Having owned an architectural office, he brings a meticulous respect for structure into his paintings. As a lifelong resident of the American Southwest, he exhibits a keen sensitivity to the landscape, balancing intensely blue skies and dusky earth tones to create a compelling visual effect. His works are a confluence of his Italian heritage and the American Southwest, resulting in a world that is both vividly realistic and a product of his unique vision. DiCamillo currently resides and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
