Salvatore Del Deo
Lilies

1977

About the Item

Salvatore Del Deo is a painter engaged in a spirited dialogue with his work, responding to the deep questions presented by the paintings themselves. It is this challenge that has held Del Deo's passion through more than fifty years of painting. His is a style that seems to traverse the territory between the realistic and the abstract. Del Deo grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and attended the Rhode Island School of Design. He also attended the Vesper George School of Art in Boston, and the Art Students League in New York, where he studied with Edwin Dickinson and John McPherson. As a young painter, he began attending Henry Hensche's summer classes in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he continues to reside. Del Deo is a master with land- and seascapes and portraits - a floral is less common in his canon. His talents are well spent here, however, as his daring control of color takes over. This vivid older work showcases Del Deo’s skill with the suggestions and structures of negative space.

  • Mysteries of Purple & Green, Original Painting
    By Melissa Gannon
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Purple and green are two of my favorite colors and wisteria is the perfect subject! I squirted paint directly onto the paper to make a lovely, saturated wash. When dry I developed the piece intuitively. I finished with tinted gouache to highlight the lovely light behind the wisteria. I'm very pleased with the mood of this piece.


    About the Artist
    Melissa is passionate about color. She finds it to be the most significant form of inspiration to paint. Speaking on influences in her work, Melissa says, “Sometimes it’s an idea that I can’t get out of my head, or a color that I just MUST paint!” She particularly enjoys painting leaves, and the changing colors of Oregon foliage are visible in her work. In 2001, Melissa began teaching art classes, which has allowed her to view her own artwork in a new way. “The information that flows in a class is awesome,” she says. Melissa is constantly learning from the students in her classes, and is more conscious of what it means to be an artistic role model.
