AN UPDATE 05/13/11
In loving memory of Jean A. DeLerno
09-20-1944 05-13-2011
She was a wonderful and delightful lady.
Truly an original and sincere artist.
For your delight.
This website will not go away .
I have been painting for 35 years, I have completed
many experiments which have brought my work to
this final point for the collector of fine abstract art.
In the matter of the works of the southwest native
american association, I fiind a great bond with the
heart and soul of these legends. These visions come
from the core of my being. My blends of symbloism
are gleaned from the history of fine art and this
evidence is full of interwoven forms to transpire for
the collectors interest. One of the most significant is
from the legend of the Kachina. They assume many
poses in the work and you can identify them easily
by their strange heads and costume, always in
motion of their ritual dance. To bring the force of
these gods to view is truly a mystical achievement
of the artist. Every part of the work brings the viewer
inside of nature by crossing the light of the setting
sun with that of the rising moon. Whereas the light of
the sun and the moon are always in equal parts on the
same parallel. This I believe is the foundation of the
works greatness. Under contemplation, the minds eye
sees this phonenema and is immediately drawn into
the new dimension, which is most pleasureable and
there its true value is found. Another great factor of
great importence must be taken into consideration
is the angle of display light which can deterrmine
innumerable changes in the field of work and lends
greatly to its kineticism. My abstract art is sculpted in
relief first, then painted. The angle of light will change
the mood and bring forth many interresting forms.
On some works the painted frames are a continuation
of the painting.
I would like to make sure that we all have the same
underatanding about the term " Fit to Screen ". The
images were created in this ratio. Example; After
saving the image in your computer and expanding it
thru your photo edit program, it is the width or the
height, whichever is the longest, that will be the final
determining factor to the size of the image when it is
raised to proper enlargement. Many nuances would be
lost without this application. I could send the complete
CD that I made and save you a lot of effort.
Please forgive any inconveniences.
As far as my leukemia illness, it has gone
into terminal and I am in care until i can't be anymore.
I am no longer eligibile for chemo teratments.
There will be no more art created by me.
I very wish you to see it, and enjoy it.
That is what I truly want.
