Currently Fred Calleri uses each piece as a new lesson. The desire is to have a goal for each piece that may relate to mood, palette, light or expression. By looking at the way Sargent used his palette or Vermeer’s light and use of pattern, Calleri is able to garner a small lesson from that and use it from that point onward. As he explores different paths, the figure resonates throughout each piece. While exploring the figure and representational painting in general, Calleri found by adding a slight distortion he was free to let the image take him where it wanted to go. By distorting the image the bonds of reality and style become less commanding and the piece develops a style on its own.
I enjoyed seeing Fred Calleri’s new pieces. Since last winter, I haven’t been able to take my mind off “Simple Life” and finally looked the gallery up to see it again. Its sold of course – lucky person – but I would love to be contacted as his new pieces become available.
