VITELLO (Texture, Expression)

Arthur Vitello's work at the Westport River Gallery has been described as the quintessence of traditional art with a contemporary flair. The sincerity and simplicity of his compositions are brought to life by the exquisite texture he is able to achieve by overlapping many layers of paint. He draws viewers via the work's simplicity, and intrigues them by the texture.

His texture is created by initially using  acrylic, and then using multiple layers of oil. Arthur is able to create color fields so rich in texture as to make the viewer feel engulfed in his work as a part of the piece.

He received a Bachelor of Fine Art from Paier College of Art in Connecticut and then completed a graduate program at Yale University School of Drama in 2005. 

In addition to promoting his artwork, Arthur has also painted for the Goodspeed Opera in Connecticut, John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Glimmerglass Opera in New York, and the Utah Shakespearean Festival. He is a member of the United Scenic Artists in Manhattan.

Art, these look incredible. The pictures posted on the WRG website aren't typically my style, but these are really intriguing. You're so talented! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work next time I'm in the gallery.
