Exhibit Reception: Scenes from the City: Paintings by Desmond Serratore

August 30 – October 4, 2019

Rogue Valley artist Desmond Serratore is a plein air painter working in oil, capturing urban and rural landscapes in his impressionistic style. This exhibit showcases familiar scenes from southern Oregon, from around town and out to the coast.

Desmond Serratore learned to paint working as a commercial artist. He is a member of the Artists Workshop, the Southern Oregon Artists Guild, the Rogue Gallery & Art Center, Art Presence in Jacksonville, the Southern Oregon Society of Artists and the Ashland Gallery Association. This year he was awarded a Grant from The Haines & Friends Fund. His work elicits feelings of nostalgia and connection. Serratore says his paintings are his record of times past and present, capturing the ever changing landscape of our surroundings. He describes his work and his process, “Utilizing quick, abstract strokes of color, line and texture, I create abstract impressions of concrete images.”
