About:

Orlando Saverino-Loeb is a Philadelphia born artist. His work is a constantly evolving process that spawned from the desire to find a visual primary source. The result has been an acute exploration in neurological phenomenon within the perception of viewers. His work revolves around the themes of semi-abstracted environments and their inhabitants that are left open to the interpretations and impressions of the observer so that the paintings become physical representations of experiences.

Artist Statement:

“Over time, I found a new infatuation with interacting with the viewer. I stopped talking about the paintings and listened, instead, to what people were saying about the work. People would change their interpretation of what they were seeing the more they looked at a piece. I began to believe that the painting itself was less important than what people saw. I began to think, “How can I make a painting that eliminates what I want to force on the viewer?” I wanted to give more power to the viewer, because I’ve always thought that the viewer is more important than the painter. Recently, I have decided to explore the compositional patterns that tend to develop within my works and in turn used this method to digest some of the current events that are rapidly unfolding.”
