Gallery 200 takes pride in presenting a different Featured Artist each month for visitors' enjoyment, and the encouragement of repeat visits.
MARCH:
Finding freedom of expression in art, his vibrant abstracts of ordinary objects depict artist Christopher Guglielmo's love for color and life. Family nurtured his creative spirit from an early age, encouraging experimentation with the arts. As a student, he took as many art classes as possible. According to Guglielmo, "I was lucky to have a high school that offered a variety of art classes," which included drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics and jewelry.
Years of continued self-discovery find him painting mainly in oil and acrylic, although he enjoys creating with a variety of mediums. Subjects found in nature, including landscapes, flowers and sunsets, are frequent sources of inspiration.
The public is invited to meet the artist and West Chicago resident at a free Opening Reception of Art on Friday, March 5, 2010 as he exhibits his passion for creativity. The exhibit will be displayed as the Gallery 200 Featured Artist series throughout March.
