Eugene Dalzotto – An Artist’s Path
EXHIBIT June 6 – July 26, 2025
For more then 50 years, Eugene Dalzotto studied, created, and produced works of art with the desire of being able to truly see. This ability of being able to see is essential for becoming an Artist. Eugene was an artist. This show presents works by Eugene and others who influenced his life’s path as an artist.
The intent of the exhibit is not only to pay homage to an artist/educator but, to allow the viewer to reflect on what it means to be an “Artist”. On display are works by Gene from his early educational years as an undergraduate to the last image he made as an artist. The exhibit includes images from his contemporaries and his teachers and works he collected that influenced his work and study.
The show challenges the viewer to think about the artist as much as the images that they make. How one becomes an artist – a lifetime of learning, how to see and developing a craft that communicates to the viewer who the artist is.
Through understanding the development of the artist’s path, a viewer may develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art they experience.
