Description

From my "Contrast Series". "Like a musician playing by ear and improvising as he goes, my art begins not with cautious preliminary sketches but working directly on the chosen surface and completing a work in one sitting. When I begin, I never know what will manifest itself. I start by doodling and when I feel as though things are happening, I follow. Whatever is in my mind has to go through my arm, my hand, so to avoid interference I choose materials that let me work quickly. When finished, I don't go back and re-work it. This approach allows a more spontaneous and intuitive way of creating art."

Presentation

Artist Statement:

Marcelo Novo was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He graduated as a Profesor Nacional de Bellas Artes from Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes “Prilidiano Pueyrredon" (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and studied Painting under the direction of the Surrealist painter Roberto Aizemberg developing Automatism as a means of creation. In 1992, he moved to the United States where he received a Master's degree from the University of South Carolina and taught art at Benedict College from 1995 to 1998. His art has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including the Centro Cultural Recoleta, in Buenos Aires, Argentina; The DeLand Museum of Art in DeLand, FL.; the Cinque Gallery in New York; the Museum of Latin American Art, CA; and the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia, SC. In addition, his work is in public and corporate collections, including those of the South Carolina State Arts Collection, Computer Science Corporation, the Contemporary Carolinas Collection of the Medical University of South Carolina, and the White House Christmas Ornaments Collection. Mr. Novo is the recipient of numerous awards and honors; has received grants from the South Carolina Arts Commission; and was a scholar-in-residence in the Faculty Resource Network Summer Program at New York University. He lives and works in Alexandria, VA.

Artist's Statement
“Like a musician playing by ear and improvising as he goes, my art begins not
with cautious preliminary sketches but working directly on the chosen surface
and completing a work in one sitting. When I begin, I never know what will
manifest itself. I start by doodling and when I feel as though things are
happening, I follow. I choose materials that let me work quickly. When
finished, I don't go back and re-work it. This approach allows a more
spontaneous and intuitive way of creating art.
My art has its roots in Latin American and European Surrealism, a movement
that believes art holds the key to unlock the inner workings of the mind, and
reveals aspects of the psyche otherwise hidden. Diverse recurrent symbols
appear in my work as manifestations of my life experiences, some of which are
closely related to my Latin American cultural heritage."
