Opening Reception
You are invited to the opening reception on Friday, January 13th from 6 - 8:00 p.m. for an informal Meet & Greet with Henry Caserotti.
From January 10th through February 27th, visit our Art Gallery for a journey into the 'Narrative and Nuance' by local artist, Henry Caserotti. He says that his paintings use "texture and color [...] to bring these objects as paintings to a point where the viewer wants to touch them." His paintings show a figure who is either photographically recognizable or a blank face in an expressive pose which invites you to summon the face of the person portrayed.

Caserotti was born in Newport, RI but grew up in the midwest. Thanks to having lived near Indiana University, he felt that "art was all around me." He refers to himself as a self-taught artist though he has taken a variety of art courses and pursuing self-education. In his biography, he "stresses the importance of dedicating as much time as possible to work, and claims that the more work he does the more inspired he becomes."
