Francis Di Fronzo special preview
The distinctive paintings of Francis Di Fronzo, portray the natural world with a sense of romance and mystery. It is also said that his work presents an uncomfortable mix of nostalgia and lamentation of the post-industrial American landscape. Adding further complexity to the diverse interpretations of his work, he blurs the line between truth and fiction by using trompe l’oeil techniques. He creates visual illusions to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as three-dimensional to reveal a convincing perspective of an imagined place.
Di Fronzo's pensive paintings are rife with both unseen and deeply felt forces: seemingly paradoxical impulses that are integral to his work. Though quite a few of Di Fronzo's paintings contain recognizably western elements, he's just as influenced by the east coast as the west.
