Joel D'Orazio Polyurethane on Mahogany Board Titled "Peacock"
Located in Chicago, IL
Colorful work of abstract art by Joel D'Orazio using non-conventional mediums. Polyurethane toned in various colors then applied to a beautifully grained piece of mahogany board. The result resembles the plumage of a peacock.
Joel D'Orazio began his career as an architect in the 1970s then in the latter part of the century began using art as a means of meditation, The images are uncommon, yet suggest the familiar forms of nature. Although the paintings are varied in color and composition, each image is part of a logical yet highly intuitive progression of work.
