About the Item

A 2022 geometric abstract painting by Christopher Cascio measuring 50 inches tall by 40 inches wide. This acrylic painting on canvas depicts abstracted portal. The artist describes the work as hard-edge abstract painting, inspired by traditional quilting designs, and infused with positive energy. This painting, which Cascio views as a devotional exercise in mental self-care, is made exclusively with the use of masking tape and aerosol acrylic paint. "Untitled (Large Wavy Portal Pink Stairs)" was featured in Chris Cascio's 2022 solo show, "Ascent", at Ivester Contemporary in Austin, Texas. Christopher Cascio was born in New Orleans, and lives and works in Houston. He got his BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute and a MFA University of Houston. Over the past decade his art has dealt with themes of obsession, compulsion, and ritual practice. The work now primarily consists of hard-edge abstraction (paintings) and is influenced by traditional quilting designs. Color and its transformative effects on the human psyche are paramount. The paintings come from a spiritual place and serve as a fount of positive energy for those who take the time to look deeply. The act of painting is curative and creates an aura of healing around the work. The work combines complex color theory and motifs based on traditional quilting patterns into painted geometric abstraction. Paintings are made using masking tape and aerosol acrylic paint. Some visual themes include sawtooth waves, portals, stairways, crosses, and pinwheels. Sometimes the paintings are also deconstructed and resewn into actual quilted paintings. Cascio teaches painting and drawing at the Sam Houston State University School of Art and occasionally at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, his alma mater in Houston.
