The paper-relief print “Yellow Rock” exemplifies Edmond Casarella’s experimental technique, using layered paper rolled with thick, oil-based inks to lend a dimensionality to each impression. With his signature use of bold shapes and colors, he presents a slice of geological strata as a ballet of movement, applying his artistic eye to replicate textures created by eons of earth’s reconfiguration.
Casarella’s work displays an intense physicality, indicative of a person whose path to a complete composition requires the whole self. Whether creating a representational piece or total abstraction, Casarella’s work teems with energy and intrigue.
