Abstract Acrylics by David Marchione Opens at Smyrna Public Library Art Gallery

The May/June 2018 Art Gallery exhibit has opened – Abstract Acrylics by David Marchione.  Mr. Marchione’s exhibit is on display through June 30. The Art Gallery is located on the 2nd floor of the Smyrna Public Library. 

Artist Statement:

I use line, color, bisected space, and unreliable perspective in my painting to create a visual field that draws the viewer in. My goal is to bring my audience back to a work to discover previously missed pockets of color and dynamic movement. I enjoy playing with space and forcing the eye to move around the canvas by disrupting the surface, breaking it apart, and rearranging it in whatever way suits me.

My palette is representative of a wide range of visual cues and value associations, but, as with my line work, the color is informed mainly by the mood I’m trying to convey. My goal is to speak to the viewer without words and to paint without narrative, but to remain the artist at the center of my paintings.

The Art Gallery exhibits are sponsored by the Friends of Smyrna Library.
