ABOUT THE ARTIST: Alan Del Vecchio, a retired theater technician and artist living in Southern Vermont. Began painting as a teen in the early 60s and through high school. After high school studied a year at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, but then enlisted in the USAF in 1966. Able to do some painting during enlistment, but also became involved in photography. In 1973 a year back at SVA as a student working in the photography department. Established the Electric Rose Design studio in 1974 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Much time roaming the mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire and New York StateMoments:I've had a fascination with the mountains and forests since I was a teenager. Growing up in a suburban development amidst farmland. Forest all about, near a lake, turtles, muskrat, deer in the meadows, dewy mornings, crows calling, camping out. The early mornings best, the dusk and oh yes the night, the storms, the clouds, the sounds that nature makes, the water, the wind, the hush.Standing at the edge of an overlook. Eyes open, peripheral sense, cosmic and grounded, macrocosm and micro, a hawk soars, no sound, only wind. It is a ‘moment'. Feel it and capture it, share it and sing of it. The impressionist, the Hudson River School, William Adolphe Bouguereau, Max Ernst, Van Gogh (but of course), Giacometti ( his drawing), Pollack, Nick Dellis, George Pappas, Joyce Howard, Glenn Davis, Sgts Kinlaw and Macpearson. Waited an age for computers, my computer. It brought my pieces together and moves them forward. In the beginning there was no real graphic software so ended up making my own. The world caught up. People often said my digital photo images looked like paintings. Before photography having used oil paint, pastels, tempera, conté crayon and charcoal. My roots as a painter. In a sense moving back toward the roots. George Pappas said ‘art is a means of expression that reflects the time in which it was created'. It is my time.
