John Aquilino

ARTIST STATEMENT
In exploring the cityscape theme, I am intrigued by the endless patterns of colors and shadows produced by the changing light throughout the day and even at different times of the year. My goal is not to document a particular city or view, but rather I manipulate shapes and shadows to create striking compositions. The colors are exaggerated, the surfaces are simplified, and architectural features are rearranged or eliminated. My work often combines realistic and abstract elements, and I find this contrast really interesting.

​My preferred medium is oil, but I also use gouache, graphite, and collage.
