Bio
John
Donald Carlucci is mainly an assemblage artist whose work combines a mixture of
religion, childhood, and rust. His work has been purchased over the years for
private collections, but the “Rusty Epiphanies” show is his first solo public
exhibition.
JDC
spent years developing the personal iconography and mythology present in his
strange works. Loath to explain what a
piece “means”, he prefers that the viewer take away their own interpretation
and enjoy their own revelations.
JDC
has edited and published numerous pulp magazines, short stories, and
non-fiction. He is an accomplished
illustrator, sculptor and digital artist.
Artist Statement
The
greatest influence on my work has been Michael DeMeng. His blending of rust, color, and relics has
been an inspiration and revelation when I was just starting out.
Much
of my art skill has been self-taught, but I have attended numerous art courses
– including those at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
I
have sold many pieces over the years through private sales and online, but my
interest in physical exhibition has grown thanks to the amazing art scene in
Saint Petersburg.
I
love rusty and discarded things. I enjoy
staring at a lost object and seeing the new life that comes when you combine it
with another lost thing. The trash that someone disposed of is now a treasured
object for another to cherish.
I
think rust is one of the most beautiful forms of decay. It changes an ordinary tin can into a
multi-textured and colorful art form.
