Forget Me Not

About the Item

My work delicately renders everyday domestic objects we use to create a sense of security- their utilitarian and decorative functions act to create a sanctuary. The formal presentations of my subjects may lead to conflicting feelings of comfort and insecurity, shelter and confinement, and love and loss. It may lead to questions about whether these material comforts keep us safe or more vulnerable. My painting process of intimate examination of my subjects in strong light sources also echoes attachments to material things despite the imminent passage of time. My recent works juxtapose solitary heirloom domestic objects with the untamed New Hampshire landscape. The contradiction of manmade forms created for comfort against something wild, primitive, and unmanageable reminds us of greater forces at work than our palliative attempts at control. Ultimately, we are all vulnerable to worldly forces existing outside our nests

Si Tu Disais
By Francis DiFronzo
Located in Fairfield, CT
Born in San Pedro, California in 1969, Francis DiFronzo has been painting and exhibiting his artwork in the United States for more than thirty years. "I discovered at a young age that art had the ability to transport me out of my world and into the lives of artists I admired. When I looked at paintings by Andrew Wyeth or Edward Hopper, I felt as though I was momentarily living in the worlds they created. I wanted to do the same thing. I wanted my work to have that power." After receiving his B.F.A in 1994 from California State University, Fullerton, DiFronzo moved to Philadelphia, PA where he continued his studies in drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. There he worked and learned under the guidance of artists Murray Dessner, Jan Baltzell, Sidney Goodman, Vincent Desiderio and Irving Petlin. Di Fronzo...

The painting is framed, with overall dimensions of 29 x 23 inches, Artist Bio: Calvin Lai's art is a mixture of medicine, meditation, and personal growth. He found early on that drawing was something he loved, and to make a picture appear lifelike became his goal. Through constantly drawing, his work began to breath, and his fascination with value and perspective led Calvin to become a student of realism. Eventually he moved from where he grew up in Los Angeles to San Francisco. There he studied drawing and printmaking at San Francisco State University.
