About the Item
"Architectural Fantasies" is a 44" x 34" oil on canvas abstract painting of geometric shapes and forms, giving the illusion of a three dimensional, architectural structure. The painting is signed and dated lower right Amarotico 81". Framed in black contemporary wood frame, image available upon request.
Born in New York City in 1931, Joseph Amarotico painted in oil and acrylic on canvas and board, and gouache on paper, using a surrealistic style to build architectural fantasies and "dream castles" from basic everyday shapes. The overall effect he achieved is similar to the play of light and color found in stained glass windows.
His work as a painter was overshadowed by his reputation as a conservator, restoring paintings for the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Specializing in 19th Century American paintings (a very different style from his own work), he refurbished paintings, found dates and names for paintings of unknown origin, and appraised paintings for their quality.

- "Survival V" Acrylic & Inks Painting 14" x 24" inch by Ghaidaa AshrafBy Ghaidaa AshrafLocated in Culver City, CA"Survival V" Acrylic & Inks Painting 14" x 24" inch by Ghaidaa Ashraf Ghaida Ashraf’s work began as abstract re-imaginations of Islamic geometric designs, before progressing into an obsession with metallurgy, the components of metallic elements and their relationship in nature. Influenced by her Alexandrian origins, her palette reflects vibrant tones of cheerful maritime blues, and coming from a scientific passion, she digests material in written or pictorial form before deconstructing and then reinventing them in her own artistic vision to find creative solutions for expressing her preoccupation with such concepts. Ghaidaa Ashraf Bio Born on 17/8/1994, artist Ghidaa Ashraf Abdel Hamid lives and works in her hometown of Alexandria. Ghidaa graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in painting in 2017, and during her studies she participated in various exhibitions internally and externally. Amongst her 55 painting exhibitions until now, Ghidaa’s graduation show was hosted by L’Atelier D’Alexandrie. In 2016, she joined for a yearlong spell at MASS Alexandria academy in a special educational program under artist Wael Shawky...Category
