Marco Teatro

When I first saw the palette, the inteprated view of light, use of line, foreshortening I thought of Robert Diebenkorn. I loved his palette also, with it's defused muted sun washed San Francisco street's in abstract blocks, much like a washed up Hans Hoffman's borders. The "Superman" from the "Matrix" movies is alluring. We all wish we could fly. It's a entirely new planet when you look from above. My father was a pilot so I flew all the time. From birth Goosebay Labrador to Ghost Ranch New Mexico I have seen light in painting all over the world. Californai has a very unique light, as do Florence, Italy, Brisibane, Egypt & Colorado. Looking from the birds eye view I see the little bugs, ribbons of streets twist and turn. The long shadows & realistic portrait of a takeoff view reminds me of the bigger parts of life. Death, Life, family, love, I still look for cloud farms from my oval. So Mr. Teatro gives me a treat I indulge and thank him for.
