Paintings & Sculptures

Jo-Ann Lizio

"As an artist, rather than respond to the historical significance of aircraft, I responded to the forms and colors of whole and disassembled airplanes. I chose to abstract these elements to my work, rather than produce traditional, literal representations."
"I was interested in the corrosion-resistant green and yellow, and the different surfaces created on the metal from flight and use. The challenge of such a limited palette was very appealing to me. This prompted me to find out more about the metal, pigment and construction of the aircraft. I chose to use the actual pieces of the aircraft in an assemblage manner rather than represent these pieces in a traditional oil or acrylic painting on canvas or paper."

"The opportunity to have these raw materials in my studio, to work and manipulate into a composition on aviation aluminum and aviation fabric, is an energizing experience similar to my brush on a new white canvas or paper."
