John Carollo Reveals “Fragmentation” Series of New Work

WINTER PARK, FL – Artist John Carollo recently introduced his new series or watercolor collage artwork entitled “Fragmentation.” Based on the idea that sometimes, unexpected events will cause life to explode and fragment in ways we never anticipated. However, beauty can be found in the pieces as we work to reassemble them into a new version of our lives.

The concept is presented in a series of work through paintings  which are completed, deconstructed, and then, from the pieces, reformed into dynamic new compositions. The raised, attached collage pieces create interesting shadows, reminiscent of Carollo’s previous 3D constructions.

On display in the artist’s new Gallery Shop – Booth A17 at The Mercantile in the Greater Orlando area of Altamonte Springs, Florida, the seven initial pieces in the series are all available for purchase.
