John Falato "The Heart of Center Meditation: Energy Follows Awareness"
Fischbach Gallery
This event has ended.
Painting with a highly detailed eye, John Falato works to allow the delicate ambience of nature’s scene to go undisturbed. This series of paintings create an intense place for meditation, the exact energy which inspires awareness.
“As a painter,” says Falato, “I respond to dramatic situations of light and shadow in nature. The natural world is so overwhelming, as a whole, that if I am able to convey a piece of it I feel successful.
I don’t know why other artists choose their subjects. I paint what I know, and what I know is Connecticut. The surfaces of leaves, bark, stones, water, and the special quality of Connecticut light is something that has continuously fascinated me. Through realistic detail I convey what I see in nature.”
The Heart of Center Meditation: Energy Follows Awareness offers a sincere portrayal of rural Connecticut landscapes, a portrayal that inspires the meditative state we as humans crave.
Born in 1940, John Falato attended the Paier College of Art and University of Hartford. He currently teaches at the Paier College of Art and lives in Northford, Connecticut.
