Alyssa DiEdwardo "A RANDOM CONNECTION" - 36" X 48" MIXED MEDIA (OIL ON CANVAS) Known for her generous use of emotion-inspired color and texture, celebrated Palm Beach artist Alyssa DiEdwardo takes a bold and inviting departure from her works in realism with an extraordinary new series in which the interplay of color, texture, form and space dominate the canvas. Inspired by her penchant for observing the world from different angles and emotions, the "Meditation Series" presents itself as glimpses of man and nature taken from varying perspectives. Each image evokes a physical response to both the use of color and the juxtaposition of elements that challenge the viewer's sense of gravity. One such work creates the feeling of looking downward onto a city block while being suspended from unseen forces. Another places the viewer floating above an azure blue pool of tropical fish that wind their way between shadowed rocks and reef. The net effect of this powerful technique brings a new level of emotion to her work and represents a new avenue of discovery for this talented young artist.
