Intimidated by abstract painting? Instructor Fabrizio Bianchi will break down abstract painting and guide you through the techniques, tools and methods involved in creating your own abstract work.

Level intermediate -- some acrylic painting experience recommended.

About the Artist: Fabrizio Bianchi

Gestural markings and urban graffiti have always intrigued me in exploring the intuitive rhythm of colors and patterns, revealing different interpretations of a multilayered world into the sublime. As a second generation Latino I merge my North and Latin American experiences and influences into my abstract landscapes, revealing their own language for viewers to decipher for themselves. I have been an active artist for over 35 years, displaying my work in local venues in Raleigh, Durham, Carrboro, and Hillsborough. With a BFA in Painting from East Carolina University and an MFA in Painting from UNM, I have also taught several traditional and digital art classes in the Southwest and Southeast US.
