First Friday Night Opening Reception

Three Exhibits for the Month of September:



The Artwork of Fortunato (Fred) Mannarino


Fred has long been recognized

as one of the finer practitioners of his art, acclaimed as a 'painter's

painter'. Fred, a native New Yorker, graduated from the School of Art &

Design, and subsequently studied at the School of Industrial Arts; the Art

Student's League; NY University where he attended classes given by Stephano

Cusomano; and, privately studied with Dick Ralph. Fred was just 16 when he won

his first national art exhibition award, securing first place for his ceramic

sculpture titled John the Baptist. A contemporary artist, often described as

one of the few cubistic painters around, he's garnered numerous awards, credits

and praise from professional art critics and art lovers alike. Serious art collectors

around the country and abroad have acquired a great number of his works. At

competitive showings Fred most always receives awards from the judging,

frequently being honored with Best of Show. During a recent month-long visit to

Italy and France, where he absorbed the sights and recharged his creative

juices, gathering material and inspiration for future works, Fred was invited

to exhibit at a gallery in Capri and at another in Paris. In the finest

tradition of the true professional artist who loves his craft, Fred has

developed and mastered his own distinctly unique cubistic style, through which

he continues to experiment and evolve his art.
