Pete DeSimone – Artist Reception

Pete DeSimone has been creating art since he was five years-old. Self-taught, he has enjoyed having

the opportunity to display his work in a variety of venues throughout Massachusetts over the years

including, restaurants, bars, libraries, coffee shops, book stores and even frozen yogurt shops. Pete

has always felt his work should be “accessible” to the everyday observer and as such feels that giving

people exposure to art during their hectic days is an honor. “In the craziness of contemporary society

with technology and communication moving at such a rapid pace we hardly ever take the time to visit a

museum or a gallery. To truly see, we must take the time, and by displaying my work in public venues I

feel I have a captured audience. I feel I can force them to take the time to see.”

Pete has worked in a variety of styles over the years, from Abstract-Expressionism to Realism,

as well as working within various mediums, oil, acrylic, charcoal and pencil. The series presented

in this show are oil paintings based on photographs taken during a particularly harsh New England

winter. All his work is for sale and he can be reached for questions/comments/commissions at
