Vincent Falsetta

Using brushes, cardboard, spreaders, palette knives and dry wall spatulas to achieve a rich,carved and grooved texture, Vincent Falsetta achieves virtuosic abstract paintings that cascade in and out of multi‐colored striations of paint. While each painting is at first glance a spontaneous composition, there is an underlying grid pattern that determines the movement of paint (and the viewer’s eye) across the canvas. The paintings, though distinctly abstract, tend to suggest waves of sound, water, light or seismic activity. There is a feeling of a steady electric flow, somewhat like a visual electro‐magnetic field that pulls the eye in every direction simultaneously.

Falsetta earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the Tyler School of Art in 1974. From 1978 to May 2017, Falsetta taught Studio Art at the University of North Texas in Denton while maintaining a continual exhibition record. He is represented in the permanent collections of: The Philadelphia Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; the Tyler Museum of Art, Tyler, TX; Art Museum of South Texas, Beaumont, TX; El Paso Museum of Art, El Paso, TX; Swope Art Museum, Terra Haute, IN and Neiman Marcus, Dallas, TX.
