Reception:
Thursday July 2, 2009 6-8 PM
Press Release
Pamela Luchitta's bold, brilliantly colored acrylic paintings reverberate with a musical energy and syncopated sense of rhythm. The artist works with abstracted imagery in active scenes in which the figure is reduced to its purest form. Rounded geometric shapes rendered in vibrant fauvist shades, interplay with each other across the canvas to create an engaging dialogue of color, shape and movement. Luchitta's diverse body of paintings reflects the vast influence of her frequent international travels. From Africa to the Americas, Europe to the Far East, Luchitta examines the world with the inquisitive and discerning eye of an artist, incorporating the spirit of each place she travels into her new paintings. Furthermore, her paintings serve as expression of her own artistic soul, expressing the joys, sorrows and experiences her rich life continues to offer her.
Born in Italy, Pamela Luchitta has studied in Rome, Dublin and London. She currently lives and works in Paris and exhibits her work in Europe and the US.
Artist Statement
I have always followed my ideas, my dreams, and I have been very fortunate in having a family who supported me in this. I love my life, with all its variety and richness of colors, sadness and joy, and all of this forms part of my art. In many ways, my work is an autobiography of my life, with its painful or perfect moments and strong emotions. But it also enlivens and enriches my day to day experience, which can be seen to be powerful and magical. Nothing is easy, but it is all worthwhile because it all contributes to who I am, and this in turn influences my artwork.
