Castello 925 presents the paintings of the late New York artist Frederick Duignan, curated by  Sara Lynn Henry. Duignan's work is known not only for its variety of textures, washes and techniques, but also for its powerful abstract imagery. The paintings in this exhibit represent the last few years of work after receiving his diagnosis.  According to the curator, Sara Lynn Henry, " (The artist)... started as a player in the 1980s East Village, NYC, when art burst forth as direct, unruly, naïve seeming, getting at raw personal matters of process and reality, accessing the unconscious as well as conscious intensities. For his process, Duignan took a collaborative role with paint itself, allowing it to flow, skein, drip, puddle, considering it to be an “animal, fiery with purpose...ignoring all rules, unafraid,” consequently imbuing his works with an insistent energy."
