Biography
-
Louis
Aiello
I like working abstractly. I like
the endless possibilities as opposed to the single set of values
encountered in realism. I experience more a spirit of adventure.

Louis Aiello resides
in Killingworth, CT. He studied at Rhode Island School Of Design;
Beaux's Arts Institute of Design, NYC; Art's Students League, NYC
-Robert Laurant, Willam Zorack, Rico Lebrum.
- I believe a work should have
a vitality of its own not derivative or imitative.
-
- After art school I continued
with realism in my creations which was through sculpture. The
big switch from realism to abstraction form came first from
painting, self taught. After a period of realism in painting.
I gradually shifted into abstract experimentation. I discovered
a great exhilaration. The transition was gradual.

- Varied situations may occur
for inspiration, it's walking through the woods, and being surrounded
with the rhythms of nature, in my studio. I make many sketches
which eventually bear little resemblance to the original notation.
