puzzle, al oerter
Arts for ACT 2005 Featured Artist Born and raised in New York City, Al Oerter's heroes were the weight throwers of the New York Athletic Club and the abstract artists that were continually breaking new ground in the 1930's, 40's and 50's. "Hard work and a goal of making it to the Olympic Games enabled me to join my throwing heroes and I am sure that this same drive will help me create unique and interesting pieces of abstract art," states Oerter. Oerter's work has been exhibited in Monaco, Athens, Lausanne and numerous United States cities. His work is now included in several national and international collections. Oerter's work is displayed at the Arts for ACT Gallery in historic downtown Fort Myers. His art consists entirely of acrylic and gesso on canvas. From hard edge to entire free form pieces, there is no single theme defining his art other than abstract. Artist's Statement: "Never having an athletic coach or a teacher or mentor in art, everything I create comes from within. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do in creating it." <BR>Puzzle is an acrylic with gesso on canvas painting. <BR>
