"Celebrating the Styles and Attitudes of Contemporary Women"

These works are inspired by the styles and attitudes of all women.  D'Alessio try to capture the gestures and moods that are fashioned in a look that crosses all cultural and social restraints seeking to find the true internal phenomena of the feminine.  In each piece he hope all of us can find something of ourselves and the women we love

 

Eyes Closed

I closed my eyes to rest, to bring peace and comfort to my head.  I close my eyes to hide so painful things will go away.  I close my eyes to dream of things that haven't happened yet.  I close my eyes to hope all thing will be good today.  Russell D'Alessio

"In a composition, when completed, if my paintings don't convey a story I will change the expressions, move a foot or change a body angle until the story comes out of the painting.  Every painting has a story to tell, sometimes a continuation from a previous work."

"Paint,texture, and its effect on a work of art is the real essence of a canvas painting.  The weight of the paint and it's sculptural qualities add depth and realism to the surface of the work."

"My sketchbook is where my paintings begin--the graceful lines of the human form flow when drawing human figures, especially women.  It is almost a decade since I have moved from painting landscapes to painting the figurative and as I re-study my earlier sketchbooks I discover that the lines of the earth--full of its mountains, waves, and curves--have the same feelings.  Combining the two, landscape and figure, has become a beautiful flow of nature for me.  Please enjoy this latest series on my path to discovery."
