Dellamarie Parrilli (born 1949) is an American contemporary abstract artist.
Artistic style
Parrilli is a self-taught artist influenced by abstract expressionism. Art critics [who?] have compared her work to that of abstract masters like Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Joan Mitchell, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Mark Tobey, Mark Rothko, Henri Michaux and Jean-Paul Riopelle.[1]
Parrilli works in all mediums including: Oil painting, Acrylic paint, murals, jewelry design, Watercolor, Metal Smithing, mixed media, assemblages, panels, sculptures, cubes and photography.
According to Mary Anne Redding in the Preston Contemporary Art Center's exhibition catalog, Xhibit, "Parrilli moves toward the meditative in her use of mark making emulating ancient Chinese traditions of calligraphy. Fluid or staccato, her symbols become part of a large conundrum of resolving the problems of life through art. Her process in painting weaves into her life coming full circle back to an open ended dialogue she wishes to have with the viewer."[2]
Art Acquisitor, a review of her art says, "Astounding in their luminosity, Ms Parrilli's canvases express the struggle with light and color. When gazing at her work, viewers are marveled by the density of color—monochromatic or blended multiple colors—which makes the streaks and windows of pure light that much more brilliant ... Along with this heightened sense of reality, Ms Parrilli presents a calm vigor, inspiring in its magnitude and magnificence." [verify]
Art
Her painting, "Reflections, is described [by whom?] as "a stately vertical canvas dominated by brilliant blue hues with frosted areas of white glowing through at its center. Few contemporary painters can evoke such chromatic shimmer with so severely limited a palette as Parrilli does here, where her coloristic restraint pays off stunningly, suggesting a numinous, incandescent spiritual realm."
Parrilli's acrylic paintings were on exhibit at Ezair Gallery in Southampton, New York in 2006. These were commented on by Ann Landi and Edward Rubin, who stated, "Her mastery of spontaneous image making has grown ever more sure in the last couple of years, and the paintings she exhibited here are among the best she has ever done." Her solo exhibition at Walter Wickiser Gallery, New York, NY in 2009 were acrylics on translucent plastic sheeting which, according to McCormack, enhances the ethereal quality of her luminous hues and acrylic "Confessions of an Adventuress," a 40-inch square oil and acrylic painting by Parrilli was featured in the ARTnews magazine where Nancy di Benedetto, a professor at Marymount College and lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was quoted to have said, "bold radiant colors leap from the canvas, she literally sings and dances on her canvas ... continues tradition of deKooning, Kandinsky, Mitchell with joie de vivre she shares with all."[3]
Panel
Some of Parrilli's works on exhibit at the Preston Contemporary Art Center in 2009 were panel paintings. "Art of the Trapeze" and "When It All Comes True" were two of Parrilli's pieces from her Into the Light series that were included in the exhibition. Mary Anne Redding wrote in the exhibition catalog, "Their inner swirls provide a dramatic counterpoint to vibrant colors in works that literally play with light. The paintings break barriers by going beyond 2-D, becoming vast, mysterious explorations of the formless states of Zen."[4] Redding goes on to say that "Dellamarie Parrilli lets the subtle effects of light and a cacophony of color fill her work, creating paintings that are both dynamic and meditative ... she wants to spontaneously give the illusion of translucence and immateriality emphasizing the emergence of interplaying worlds, visual ideas and visions."
