Varriano Fine Art

Internationally recognized, American Artist John Varriano is best known for his multi-disciplinary mastery of the visual arts. His provocative body of work possesses that sublime ability to strike suddenly and deeply at one's inner being. Rich and robust colors seem to pop off the canvas while a magical melding of layers reveal carefully crafted, finely honed psychological examinations. Varriano’s figurative and portraiture paintings display an exceptional talent for delivering unabashed proclamations of the human condition. For Varriano, the blinding beauty of the subject matter is made more exquisite and whole by the dark and hidden material that lies beneath. It is always the shadows, materially and metaphorically, that allow one to see and experience the light. Varriano’s command of abstract oil painting is otherworldly. He gives his audience a masterful outpouring of explosive forms, shapes, and textures counterbalanced by stark discipline, containment, and restrain. Varriano handles paint and the transmission of ideas with exceptional “Grace,” leading one to conclude the higher worlds he captures are his natural habitat. Rather than shock and awe, Varriano delivers only awe.
