Artist's Statement

All images ©Larry D'Amico, 2007

The paintings on view here are images of the northeast. Light and color permeate my work. I am interested in the play between representational imagery and the more abstract qualities of color, mark making, and form. Color for me is a way to simulate light, create atmosphere and express the vitality of a place.
