THE ECLECTIC PAINTINGS OF RICK SEGUSO on View at King Center

The masterful paintings of Rick Seguso will be featured in the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts, Harris Corporation Art Gallery from today, February 27, through March 26 as he presents The Eclectic Paintings of Rick Seguso.

This exhibit may be viewed by ticketed patrons attending King Center main stage performances. Mr. Seguso will be in the gallery at all main stage shows to personally guide you through his artwork.

Artist, musician, actor and singer/songwriter, Rick Seguso was born into a family of artists and athletes. After a youthful foray into the sports world, Seguso was led into the creative life of a poet, actor, musician and most importantly - painter. His work can be found in collections worldwide and has been shown in leading galleries garnering critical recognition and rewards such as the Mary Hulitar Award from the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida.

Equine art, floral, landscapes, and portraits are a big part of Seguso's work, but at the heart of Seguso's eclectic subject matter are his moody and evocative portraits of musicians. With confident and authoritative brushwork, special emphasis is placed on each character's distinct and individual nature, capturing these images in bold and realistic paintings.

Inspired and influenced by the Old Masters and Post-Impressionists, Seguso's technique is under-painting in grisaille, and most of his works include varying degrees of glazing, "...a technique often overlooked by modern day artist's but an invaluable tool in creating jewel-like depth and style that is impossible to achieve by just mixing paint," Seguso says.
