Yesterday was the last day of Vincent Desiderio's exhibition at the
Marlborough Gallery, a beautiful gallery in Chelsea. Vincent Desiderio is a contemporary American painter, and currently is a senior critic at the
New York Academy of Art. Most of his large, realistic paintings in the show are somber and suspenseful. The stories he tells are so dramatic, that they are sure to capture the audience's attention, leaving a somewhat grim impression on the viewer. If you look closely you will see that parts of the painting are built up in thick, heavy paint, reminiscent of certain contemporary abstract paintings. This texture, the storytelling, the classical approach to figure painting, and the overall composition are the fundamental building blocks of his works. His paintings seem at once real and surreal, of now and of the past.
