JOHN VITALE

John Vitale (1979, Illinois, USA) is a self-taught abstract painter whose work delves into the complexities of the human experience. His paintings are charactarized by organic shapes, lines, plateaus, and rich color palettes, creating captivation visual narratives. Vitale employs a meticulous process, often spending weeks on a piece, where minor adjustments - such as a single mark of color shift - can bring a painting to its resolution. He utilizes a combination of acrylics, house paint, enamels, pencils, canvas scraps, and oil sticks, layering materials to archive time and experience tangibly.
