ARNIE CASAVANT
Arnie attended the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, courtesy of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act (better known as the G. I. Bill) and, until 2005, was an art instructor at Oliver Ames High School in Easton, Massachusetts, a position which he held for 27 years.
His passion for painting has developed over the past several years. Since retiring he has taught landscape and abstract painting at various locations in Boston and on Cape Cod through Northeastern University’s Graduate Institute in Education. He has exhibited his work at myriad locations, including a recent show at the Pearl Street Gallery and the Gallery at Spencer Lofts in Chelsea, Massachusetts; the Footlight Club in Boston; and the Yellow Barn Gallery in Glen Echo, Maryland. He was a partner at Gallery 31 in Orleans on Cape Cod during 2010.
He has studied under the direction of accomplished landscape painters Walter Bartman and William St. George. He has also worked extensively at a number of locales, including Elbow Cay Bahamas, Tilghman Island Maryland, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Monterey California and Tenants Harbor Maine, with Walt Bartman, the nationally-recognized director of the Yellow Barn Gallery and a frequent visitor to Elbow Cay. Starting in 2012 he will be represented by the Hummingbird Cottage Gallery in Hopetown, Elbow Cay, Bahamas. www.hummingbirdcottagegallery.com.
Arnie works en plein air, painting largely in oil on location at dawn or dusk, when the sun’s interaction with his subject matter is at its most dramatic. Arnie adheres to the old adage that “light is the bringer of beauty,” and his work reflects a strong emphasis on the interplay of light, shape and color, and a devotion to impressionism. “Chasing the light” best describes Arnie’s paintings; “The natural elements and my paints combine to reward me with lasting memories.” His work will be displayed at studio 402 A, 450 harrison Ave. Boston as a memner of SoWa Artist Guild the first friday of each month during 2012 and by appt. www.sowaartistsguild.com.
