About Us
Paul Pinzarrone is a midwestern artist working with photography, digital painting programs and new materials. This work is a study of how nature and power rhyme. It is a glimpse into my world of candy-colored sensual puzzles displayed on high gloss aluminum, paper or metallic paper mounted on Plexiglas. The viewer is drawn in closer to feel comforted yet disturbed. You ask if this is science fiction. Science illustration? The viewer is pulled in to play and explore…. and wonder if these are mirrors.
This work is digital…. Pinzarrone uses CAD software for geometrical elements, fractal software for patterns, painting software for digital airbrush & air erasure and digital photography to show you my world. The mandalas are built up using [up to 27 so far] transparent layers. Sometimes after they are compressed, I wrap them around figures and build up 15 to 20 additional transparent layers. The figure skin is my canvas and the viewer struggles to determine if they’re photographs of tattoos, painted figures or something else. Some of the work is printed on high gloss aluminum, some printed on metallic film and bonded to the reverse side of clear plexiglas.
To be art, it must be new. New materials, new approach, new imagery. Craftsmanship counts. July 2017

There's a South Park episode on it 2) Instagram business account; wide coverage & responses for visual arts... easiest way to circulate your visual material if expanded awareness & visibility of your work is the goal 3) Twitter & 4) LinkedIn have no value for me.. who follows twitter? And my daily use of LinkedIn results in just being bothered by salespeople wanting to sell me something. 5) YouTube for recreation, not business

Each post in online galleries gets promoted / shared on Facebook, Instagram & Pinterest. I enter numerous juried contests nationally for exposure.

As a visual artist, I receive many requests for donations of artwork. Over the years I thought it was good "exposure" but soon learned that it was really a way for cheapskates to get free art.... Less than half of the time, the requester provided the tax donation IRS paperwork. My final straw came when they invited me attend an event I donated a large piece of artwork to and expected me to buy an admission ticket.
My current policy is that I consider donations from existing or past [paying] clients only. I offer to sell the work to them at cost and they can then donate the work & chase the IRS paperwork..... Requests have fallen off since their source of free artwork [in your case free entertainment] dried up. IF you NEED the added exposure, consider doing 1 or 2 but be cautioned, they will 'mark' you as someone to call when they need free entertainment. Sounds harsh but "free exposure" doesn't pay for your gas.

Enter juried shows, festivals, lawn shows and make your name / website prominent & on tee shirts, business cards. Upload your work to various online galleries, facebook business page [with your website the name of biz page]. Same for pintrest, instagram etc so that clicking on an image will take them back to your website. It takes time & persistent posting by you before you notice traffic. Boost events /images on facebook biz & pintrest sites to find new admirers of your work.
Hopefully you have time to plan [it isn't tomorrow is it?] and the location is somewhat close to you. Facebook business page, create an event for the show opening and invite all of your somewhat nearby contacts. [for the event, use one of your images so viewers will get a sample of what to expect...

Hopefully you have time to plan [it isn't tomorrow is it?] and the location is somewhat close to you. Facebook business page, create an event for the show opening and invite all of your somewhat nearby contacts. [for the event, use one of your images so viewers will get a sample of what to expect at the show]. After posting it, Boost the event and target people within a radius of the location of the show. Run the boost for 2 weeks prior to the event and target the age & interests of your ideal market... [do you want the opening filled with 16 year olds whose interests are "tattoos"? or 30 year old business people?]. Good luck.
