Statement

John Di Lorenzo
The focus of my work is what I consider to be the mythological aspect of my own memories. I believe that memory is something that cannot be fully trusted. Therefore, my process likens to an adventure through a dark, primordial space where the truth is unfixed. In essence, I paint the "shadows" of a life lived, rather than the recollection of concrete experience. The techniques I employ as a painter stem from a myriad of influences, including painting from the Baroque period, and some examples of postwar twentieth century painting as well. Illustrations from books I read as a child, images from television and examples of vintage rock album cover art also merge into the formal aspects of my work, reflecting some elements of the popular culture I encountered as a child and ways in which these images were processed in my mind. Although I see my work as being open-ended in terms of a message, I consciously work to create images that are embedded with the same sense of power I experience in confronting the sublime, both in memory and present-day life.
