Artist Statement for Tony Viscardi
|
|

My sculptures in Brushed Aluminum and Neon comes from a lifelong fascination with lights and Art Deco style. I have always had a flair for the out of the ordinary and abstract. I have been creating abstract canvas paintings since the early 80's. The abstract works, mostly splatter style paintings, have given me an eye for abstract design, if there's such a thing. To the average eye it is just a lot of splattered paint. To me I could just always tell if the work needed just one more splatter of paint here or there. Miami Florida's Art Deco District has long been one of my favorite places to visit and has also been an inspiration for my works. My sculptures evolved from seeing several in art shows and desiring to create works with layers and shapes. It was not until about a year later after creating several sculptures that I ran across a website that blew me away, it was the works of the artist Eric Ehlenberger that really caught my attention. His work with neon and brushed aluminum was stunning. I immediatly E-mailed him and asked a billion questions. To my suprise he returned my E-mail and had answered all my questions and was very helpful. Erics work has influenced me and my designs in Brushed Aluminum and Neon. I use a variety of shapes and colors and enjoy the neon for the colors and the reflecting qualities it gives to the Brushed Aluminum. I also use what I call 3D leveling in my pieces to give different neon colors to separate layers, thus creating depth and glowing accents to my works. I love creating my works and its a special bonus to have others enjoymy work as well. I approach each piece with great anticipation and enthusiasm. Using Vibrant neon colors, I explore color and simple forms that I seek to leave the viewer inspired and intrigued. I have dedicated myself to my art form and create works for myself. But when others share in the experience, I know then that I have acheived Success...
