About the Item
Robert E. Zappalorti Biography
American, b. 1948
What is “sharp focus” drawing? Put very simply, it is a rendering with refined, precise line and tone to create a lifelike representation of the subject matter. It differs from other methods of drawing realistically, however, in that it creates an extremely clear, sharp almost photographically accurate image – hence the term “sharp focus.” So, I start all of my paintings with a “sharp focus” drawing and my still life reference is an actual set up in my studio. I take as much pride in the drawing as I do in the actual painting.
My choices for the set ups are simple yet engaging and I look to less traditional objects to realistically portray a specific theme. I have tried to develop a theme of color, abstract shapes, and a clean crisp feeling in all my painting. The negative space pronounces the objects and it helps to achieve my desired results. I tend to work slowly, painstakingly observing the subject and trying to communicate the detail in a simple yet effective way. The joy in my work starts with my set up choice, the drawing, and the final color applications when it all comes to life. With each painting, I try to communicate a particular skill, from drawing/painting of ellipses, to space proportion, negative space, complexity, texture, reflection, and color.”
