Salvatore Panasci Artist Statement

My abstract paintings are all about creating excitement for the viewer by exploring them with one’s eyes. Each painting, whether large, or small is inspired by events and created to embody immediate impact and lasting power. It is about creating a visual that has never been seen before. I want each painting to engage the viewer through it’s own unique power of color, motion and dimensionality. I want the viewer to have a sense of wonderment and curiosity instantly at that moment. I want to involve the person by having him, or her search the variety of textures, dark and light passages and the space within the painting. Are the colors connected? Do they hover above the surface, or streak across the surface? My goal in each painting is to make the viewer want to return to the painting and discover new associations with it, adding to the overall sense of feeling the beauty of its excitement. I want the viewer and the painting to have a dialog with one another.
