Artist Len Ippolito has returned to the Parma Public Library Gallery with a new show of paintings that will go on display through December 2016.
Len has continued working with his limited pallets in gray scale and sepia tones and has now placed blue and sepia together as well as bringing his largest offering to date, “Bodian Castle” executed in dioxazine purple, yellow ocher and white. Len retains throughout his work, a deep respect for form, saying that he is “working toward the elimination of line.” His work continues to offer a soft backlit quality that lends subject and place an ethereal quality.
Len’s earlier career involved teaching physics and technical instructing. Now Len explores an almost forgotten love that he had for drawing and painting. He says that he enjoys finding locations in New York State to paint and has included the Upper Mill in Honeoye Falls and a Vegetable Vendor at Buffalo’s Broadway Market in his current show.
He mentions the Parma Public Library’s Passion for Paint program, the Stony Point Art Studio in Ogden and the Skoog Farm Workshop in Brockport as groups in Western Monroe County that have offered him advice and encouragement.
Len’s show is the sixty-fourth in a series of exhibitions hosted by the Parma Public Library featuring local area artists and photographers. For more information or to inquire about showing work, call Rosalind Lipomi, Adult Services Librarian at 392-8350 or visit www.parmapubliclibrary.org.
