StoneWall Society GLBT Artists Visual Arts Josh Aterovis Wing

Josh Aterovis is a purist when it comes to his art. Aterovis, (his pen name, taken from the Latin for Black Sheep), uses no white paint in his art. All white areas are actually the color of the paper. An approach which offers challenge to an artist who also works in watercolors. Seascapes and water are also frequently subject matter for his art. All is accomplished with warmth, feeling, and integrity. Sharp contrasts in some pieces counter others which carry a misty feel. Throughout emotion and depth are strong components of Aterovis' talent.

To me it seems his works inter-relates. For instance, in "Sea Gazing" it seems that in the distance you could be viewing a distance shot of "More Than Friends". In "Sunset Beach" the theme could be carried on further with the image of footprints trailing off around a beachside sand dune. This particular groups of works really intrigued me. The colors are bright yet soft as well. Sharp coast lines bring detail to the gentle blending of the sky.

Josh Aterovis is also a successful author. On his website you can check out his books, art, and learn more about the artist himself.

"All Lost Things" Copyright Josh Aterovis	" All Lost Things" is a more serious and pensive work. Great detail combined with the gentle aging of the statue sets an unmistakable tone. A sadness about the figure contrasts sharply with the lively vibrant greens. The background adds to the warmth and depth of the piece.
The whimsical and amusing "What the...?" shows a lighter side and demonstrates Aterovis' ability with detail. Considering again that Josh is purist in his painting. The areas of white are of particular interest. The use of the original white in this work is intriguing.	"What the...?" Copyright Josh Aterovis
