Distant relatives

“Brothers,’’ by F. Lipari, at Bernay Fine Art, Great Barrington, Mass.

From Mr. Lipari’s artist statement:

“Influenced by his love of nature, his subjects are carefully chosen and presented in their purest form in a setting devoid of any clutter, thus evoking a sensation of serenity and stillness….

“Strokes of acrylics, multi-layers, subtle hues and blends create depth in his work, while the main feature is highlighted by a signature mark of etherealism giving it all the focus and attention it merits. When looking at his work, F.Lipari wants you to feel the mood and be transported into his world.’’
