Pia De Girolamo

This series of acrylic paintings highlight aspects of the urban landscape of Philadelphia and its suburbs where I live. When I find a particularly compelling composition in either suburban or urban scenes, one that has some element that I find interesting-how a pine tree looks silhouetted against a bright sky or how roads, bridges and ramps crisscross and create movement, I take photos. Back in the studio, I interpret the scene in acrylic paint. Sometimes, I make several paintings of the same scene, asking what happens if I change up the palette or focus on a different part of the scene. As a former art history major with a concentration in architecture, I appreciate the contrasts between the historic buildings and the modern. Along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, there is a lively interplay of form and line between the old and new buildings and the bridges and roadways. In the suburbs, hard edged structures like sheds, water towers and houses coexist and stand in contrast with pockets of nature.
