We are honored & excited to announce Rick Catallozzi Jr. was awarded 2nd place at Wickford Art Association’s “Art of the Ocean State” exhibition. Charlie Hall, creater of “Ocean State Follies” was the juror of this show. Out of 194 pieces entered, Charlie chose 82 beautiful and unique pieces to be part of the show and represent our Ocean State. “Town Beaching” was awarded 2nd place by Charlie behind 1st place “Newport Beech”, a beautiful charcoal drawing by Betsey Macdonald.
Rick chose “Town Beaching” for this show. The photo was taken with a Mavic Pro drone on the 4th of July. It features colorful umbrellas, boats, surfboards and Rhode Islanders enjoying Narragansett Town Beach. Charlie Hall enjoyed the spots of color and how perfectly placed they were comparing the photo to the works of French Post Impressionist Paul Cezanne’s placing of colorful fruit in his paintings.
Rick is honored to be awarded 2nd place and looks forward to participating in future exhibitions. We would like to thank Charlie Hall and everyone at the Wickford Art Association.
Rick will be participating in the WIckford Art Festival July 13 & 14th. Please stop by and see “Town Beaching” and the rest of his collection.
