Frank DePietro, a
Philadelphia
based artist, has exemplified a variety of styles and techniques in his work over the past several years. His work has ranged from large scale assemblages, consisting of multiple painted canvases and found objects, to mixed media sculpture, collage and most recently paintings of a traditional nature. Aside from the unique appearance of his work, DePietro can be easily identified by his subject matter that touches upon religion, philosophy, politics and art history, creating narratives on contemporary values. In his latest works, DePietro utilizes a primitive, child like expression. The forms and compositions are paired with balance and sophisticated use of color, creating truthful representations of his subjects. A graduate of
Bloomsburg
University
, he continued to study painting at
Tyler
School
of Art and art education at Moore College of Art and Design. Throughout his career, DePietro has participated in numerous group exhibitions, been the recipient of awards in juried shows for his painting and works on paper, and has exhibited at solo shows in Philadelphia and the Mid-Atlantic regions.
