In the heart of The Hamptons pulses the vibrant artistry of Ceravolo, a prominent urban Pop artist celebrated for his dynamic creations that blur the lines between music and visual expression. Widely acclaimed as the "Rock and Roll Painter" and "Painter of the Stars of Rock" by the media, Ceravolo has become a cultural icon in his own right.
His work has found a coveted place in the collections of music royalty, including Elton John, Rod Stewart, and Alice Cooper, solidifying Ceravolo as an integral part of the tapestry of pop culture.
The allure of Ceravolo's paintings extends beyond the private domains of music icons, gracing the halls of influential corporate entities and private collectors alike. Among those captivated by his art are Hugh M. Hefner, David Brenner, Monique Van Vooren, Warner Bros., RCA Records, and Schenley Industries.
Ceravolo's meteoric rise to prominence took a pivotal turn when he was commissioned to create five large-scale masterpieces for the lobby of The Palladium Theatre in New York City. These monumental paintings, featuring the likenesses of Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Frank Zappa, Neil Young, and Hall and Oates, not only adorned the theater but catapulted Ceravolo's art into popular consciousness. Ceravolo continues to captivate audiences with his electrifying canvases.
In addition to his iconic Rock and Roll classics, Ceravolo's portfolio expands into a whimsical realm where he seamlessly intertwines pop culture and imagination. His New Pop paintings transport viewers into a fantastical world, where Batman takes the wheel of his Batmobile accompanied by a sultry Movie Star. Amidst the action, the unmistakable "Bat Call" signal illuminates the night sky, beckoning the Caped Crusader to the aid of Gotham City. Adding a touch of humor and charm to these creations, the gopher muse, affectionately known as "G," stands alongside Batman on the side of the Batmobile.

Ceravolo
The paintings of Ceravolo can be found in many influential corporate and private collections, including: ELTON JOHN, ROD STEWART, HUGH M. HEFNER, PETE DAVIDSON, GRANT CARDONE, DAVID BRENNER, MONIQUE VAN VOOREN, WARNER BROS., RCA RECORDS AND SCHENLEY INDUSTRIES to name a few. His art came to popular attention when he was commissioned to create five large scale paintings for the lobby of The Palladium Theatre in New York City. The large oil paintings were of legendary Superstars in the music business, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Frank Zappa, Neil Young and Hall and Oates. Ceravolo started to add abstract elements to his realistic figurative oil paintings and he coined the term Portrait Illusions in 1979 which referred to the appearance of the finished painting where the color abstract areas of the painting gave the illusion that they were "floating" in front of the realistic figure which he painted in values of Gray, Black and White on the canvas. This unique technique caught the eye of many collectors and galleries and brought the work of Ceravolo to a worldwide audience. He works at his Hampton's studio creating his Urban POP paintings where he still combines colorful abstract elements with Black, White and Gray figurative images.
