Continuing his investigation of abstract gesture, process, and expression
Vincent Falsetta's newest works features cascades
and vertical striations of color that are at once streaming, free, spontaneous,
controlled, partitioned, and deliberate.
Using brushes, cardboard, spreaders, palette knives, and dry wall spatulas
to achieve rich texture, Falsetta achieves deliberate spontaneity.
"Something in my body/mind snapped to attention
when experiencing the solid, taut, all-over surfaces of [Falsetta's] canvases.
There are no holes, no weak areas, no points of collapse or counterpoint.
There is instead a steady electric flow,
like a visual electro-magnetic field, that gently but insistently pulls
the eye every direction at once."
