About the Item

Work on wood Wooden frame with red velvet 38.7 x 53 x 2 cm This artwork depicts an urban scene, capturing a quiet street lined with buildings with simple, geometric architecture. Vertical and horizontal lines dominate the composition, emphasizing a rigorous perspective that draws the eye toward the center of the image, where there is a house with distinctive red shutters. The color palette is restrained, favoring earthy and gray tones which instill an atmosphere of calm and serenity. This chromatic sobriety accentuates the timeless character of the scene, evoking a calm city at dawn or dusk. Each building facade is detailed with architectural precision that reveals the artist's interest in structure and form. The balconies and windows add a dimension of depth and realism to the work. The composition is balanced, with a subtle play of light and shadow which adds relief and texture to the scene. What makes this work unique is the total absence of human elements, inviting the viewer to think about the relationship between urban space and its function in our daily lives. The sense of stillness and tranquility that emanates from this painting encourages contemplation, making each viewer an imaginary stroller in this silent street.

Lotus Number Four (Hard Edge Floral Still Life Painting of Lotus Leaves)
By Frank DePietro
Located in Hudson, NY
30 x 24 x 1 inches oil on canvas Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are utilized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting. About the artist: Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting. Frank lived in Philadelphia for twelve years painting and teaching at several museums, art centers and schools in the region. In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...
