My name is James ‘Jake’ Delgaudio. I was born in Brooklyn, New York City, NY. As an artist I am represented by my son Dominick Delgaudio.
Many years ago I was an art major and have since been exploring my art in a “self taught” manner. I have been displayed in various art shows, commercial and institutional settings, municipal buildings and gallery shows and my paintings are on many walls far and wide.
I have admired and studied the art and stylings of many great artists including the early abstract expressionist’s Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning, Surrealist Salvador Dali, Abstract pioneer painter Wassily Kandinsky and just too many other great painters of all styles to list.
My art is a communication of sorts that allows me to convey some inner message to the viewer. Through my works I hope to instill a lasting impression in the viewer and connect that viewer with an emotion, my art being the vehicle that allows such connection. Simply, I hope to evoke an emotional response in the viewer. I do this through color, texture, shape, and filling a canvas with “light and darkness”.
