Renowned painter Jerry Ross’new body of work reflects his passion and links to the Italian school of painting known as Macchiaioli, a forerunner of Impressionism. The large canvases that will be a part of this exhibit demonstrate the painter’s aesthetic link to this movement as well as embodying art historical references –viewer’s might see flourishes of Modigliani and Cezanne in Ross’s rich images. Mostly, however, they’ll see an artist in peak form and creating with inspired spontaneity. Jerry Ross has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2000.
"My studies after Old Masters are inspired by the desire to see the interrelationships forms, intertwining and overlapping, visual energy flowing and combining into diverse forms. Battle scenes and scenes from Veronese, Tiepolo, and Rubens are used to explore the possibilities of Grand Manner painting in a modern style. " - States the artists about his work.
