Robert Minervini Solo Show: A Means to an End

Robert Minervini Solo Show: A Means to an End http://www.eleanorharwood.com/Site/Robert_Minervini_Means.html Solo Show: A Means To An End, October 24th - December 19th 2009 Other pages for artist: Artist Statement & CV Other Work by Robert Minervini Press: Vernissage SF Gate.pdf artbusiness_robertminervini.pdf About the Show: A Means to an End includes a series or paintings made from acrylic and oil paint on canvas. The paint is applied by brush, airbrush, and spray paint. These works are an exploration between elements of flatness and illusion, transparency and opacity, along with varying degrees of visible brushwork. Saturated colors mingle with muted earth tones as a juxtaposition between artificial and the natural. In these places, nature is subverted and change is constant while architectural sites are constructed or destroyed. A Means to an End refers to the process of painting as a conceptual platform for communication. The title also alludes to depictions of creation and destruction occurring within the same paintings.
