“Anthony Galati”I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, and one of my favorite subjects has always been people. This was never more true than when I learned to paint with oils, something that I had dreamed of learning for many years. As I began to create one figure painting after another, learning various techniques and ways of working, oils began their ascent to become my favorite medium. This work was typically extremely tight and realistic, which meant that it also took many hours to complete.

A few years ago I began to include a new subject to focus on. In one of the most iconic cities in the world, Central Park is the heart of inspiration where the pulse originates. Not just any park will fill the shoes of being the sanctuary to the nonstop way of life for the residents of New York City. The many bridges, boulders, greenery and structures of Central Park are just as appealing to anyone traveling in from out of town. It was there among the many wonderful little worlds that there are to discover that I chose to delve into landscape painting. When doing plain air landscapes, outside in the elements of the site that you are painting, the conditions around you are constantly changing, so you must paint fast.

Live event painting was a natural progression for me as it is a combination of the fast way that I had learned to paint scenery and the slower, more detailed way in which I had done my figure paintings. Instead of clouds changing their shape, and the sun changing the direction of the shadows on a tree, I now had DJs swapping blue uplighting for purple, and full dance floors clearing out to hear the first toast of the night. My models? They definitely weren’t standing still anymore. To do this kind of work, you definitely have to “roll with it” and constantly adapt to new changes that are happening.
