Artist Statement / Fred Di Vito
Art has the ability to connect across the generations through nostalgia… remembering the past to navigate the future. Art can transport the viewer by creating a mood and telling a story, a form of non-verbal poetry.
My Urban Landscapes attempt to weave tales from the past that touched and shaped lives. This dialogue unifies the disconnection of the generations and depicts daily life and the human condition.
These images remind us that today’s political issues are not unique, and we can learn from our past.
This visual landscape using the language of emotion, blends our backgrounds and experiences to make this art personal.
