John Asaro

True romanticism best describes the work of impressionist painter John Asaro. A clever interplay of light, texture, color and design reflect his keen observation and study of the fundamentals of drawing.

A California native, Asaro's talent became apparent during his childhood years and was distinguished with numerous local and statewide awards. Under the tutelage of internationally known sculptor Donal Hord, and study with Frank Reilly at the Art Students League of New York, Asaro augmented his study of the figure, its interactions with light and the subsequent creation of shadow.

Asaro's paintings resonate with his love for the lusciousness of color. The viewer is drawn into the work. We feel the warmth of the California sun as it engulfs the figures, or the cool waves as they rise and fall against the shoreline. We relax observing his figures in quiet repose. This freshness is a welcome change from the usual modernist approach to subject matter and is not surprising considering his outlook. "To me painting is like walking a new trail; I look forward to seeing something different on each path I take."
