"I like to paint in a way
that will allow others to see and feel some of what I see. It’s an
American style of simplicity, serenity, the strength of the land, a
child like innocence and the bold country life." says Ferrucci.

New Directions - Abstract Expressionism
Lagoon by Robert Ferrucci - 24" x 48"
The new work can best be described as Abstract Expressionism. The paintings are filled with emotion, colors that range from muted to bright full and splashing. Robert Ferrucci is always searching always looking for a better way. He has grown in the world of art because he has little fear of working with new and different ideas. Over the years his subjects have changed the use of techniques and the pallet has changed and now his new work is the boldest effort ever. He puts part of himself in his painting as influenced by 50 years of formal education, a lifetime of painting experience and experimentation. He has studied at the New York City Art Student’s League and Pan American Art School in Manhattan. While working in the graphic art and publishing industry he also painted for galleries and private commissions. Bob later studied with Gilbert Stone, a prominent illustrator and professor at the School of Visual Arts NYC. His paintings are in many important collections and he has received numerous awards.

“I may never stop painting all the styles that I have worked on before but will always look for something new. I believe it has a lot to do with what I read and what I study in life that brings me to a new place. It happens to come out in my art and is a true expression of myself and how it all looks to me now. A spiritual path for some people is a tell all thing. For me my growth is a little more private. But learning about myself and changing my beliefs because of growth and maturity has helped me to see “how important is it” and that knowledge makes it easier to take on your own challenges.”
The new work can best be described as Abstract Expressionism. The paintings are filled with emotion, colors that range from muted to bright full and splashing. Most of the work is mixed media with the use of acrylic, oil pastel, tissue and layers and layers of tinting. The paintings are in part done flat to give them time to dry without dripping but much of the work is on the easel helping to bring out areas and push things in a distant soft space with lots of brush work to define areas and shapes.
Bob’s early floral work, his stylized barns and love for the farms and fields will never change but his intensity about his new abstract work is very strong. He sees it from a spiritual personal growth perspective. His effort is expanding reaching out driving the new forces onto canvas. He believes his path is for a Higher Ideal, be still, be mindful, be grateful.
