A devotee of the traditional romantic landscape, painter Art Fronckowiak’s use of light and shadow and his bright and dark palettes bring a serene timelessness to his inviting scenic vistas and floral architecture. Although he uses the modern medium of acrylic oils, his techniques are reminiscent of the Barbizon, Hudson River and Old Florida schools that call to mind Herzog, Inness and Bierstadt. Although his conservative family discouraged an art career, Fronckowiak could not be swayed from portraying the history of a bygone era which has become his living artist’s legacy. He paints from his home studio in Venice, Florida.
