The viewer faces the captivating beauty. The rolling hills, the crystal blue waters, the enchanted forest, the palatial castle, and the spacious greenhouse creates a peaceful serenity. The “ No Trespassing” sign enforces a sense of security. An open gate, is something in the water? Is there someone hiding? Invisible to the eye danger is all around, but can we see it? An underlying false sense of security prevails.
...CIRCLISM...
(sur`kliz`em) n. application of paint by diagramming an image in terms of tiny circles or figures to create an effect of subtle and complex dimensions. A school of painting exemplified by Stresino in the early 21st century United States. {Middle English cercle from old French, from Latin circulus} circle- a plane curve everywhere equidistant from a given fixed point, the center. surklizt n. & adj. sur`kliz`tic adj. Compare pointillism.
My name is Edward C. Stresino.
The breakthrough occured in highschool. In my sophomore year I became fascinated with spontaneous cell separations as a means of constructing and deconstructing visual images. Eleven years later in 1996 I found myself visualizing landscapes in the same terms. As my self-confidence grew I discovered a technique of my own. I refer to this technique as Circlism and it means to paint by diagramming an image in terms of tiny circles or figures. Words can only begin to project the idea which becomes meaningful when the viewer is in front of a full size painting.
As I proceed I feel that each painting is a further step ahead. Each painting is becoming more complex and intricate. I see me paintings as a means to achieve more complete awareness and to penetrate more deeply into contemporary perception.
All my current paintings are 48"x48" inches square which means big in relationship to the minimal images you are looking at on htis website. In order to get the full experience I am now exhibiting the paintings by private appointment. Contact me at my e-mail or P.O.Box which you will find on the contact page.
A Statement about each of my Paintings:
As we enter the world of Circlism we begin to understand the idea of creating or dividing images into bigger or smaller components. In other words, components are visualized in their most particular and integral state of being and then are reintegrated into the composition seen as a whole. This is the enigma that each of us must discover.
