Vincent Falsetta is a professor of Drawing and Painting at
the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.
He recently exhibited a number of his artworks at the Cole Art Center in
Nacogdoches, Texas in a group exhibit titled “Silent Transmissions.” Falsetta’s large non-objective paintings
vibrate with the energy of contrasting color choice and a unique manipulation
of the actual physical paint. Falsetta
references nature, technology, and energy as sources of inspiration. In his artist statement Falsetta notes “There
is a feeling of a steady electric flow, somewhat like a visual electro-magnetic
field that pulls the eye in every direction simultaneously. The paintings
evoke the natural world while acknowledging the technology that measures or
records it.”
My first impressions on viewing Falsetta’s
paintings was that they reminded me of beautifully marbled paper; much like the
endpapers found in fine old leather bound books. You can see more of Vincent Falsetta’s work on
the REM Gallery website at http://www.remgallery.com/artists/falsetta1.html .
