Chuck Sabatino was born in 1935 and began
his art studies at the New York School of Visual
Arts majoring in advertising. He spent the next
twenty-five years as an Art Director/TV Producer
in Manhattan.
Chuck retired to Scottsdale, AZ and began
painting full time. Known as a painter of light
and shadow in a realistic manner he naturally
started painting things he likes best: Pueblo
Indian pottery and artifacts. Chuck Sabatino is
a collector of these pots from various tribes such
as the Zuni, Shoshone and Anasazi. Chuck
spends many hours in museums, galleries and
with collectors in Arizona and New Mexico to
find interesting and different pottery for
his paintings.
Painting with oil paint and glazes, a technique
known as chiaroscuro, Sabatino pays closes
attention to accuracy and detail. His respect
for each design is immediately apparent. A
richness unfolds that empowers the paintings
and brings his subjects into a tangible reality.
The results are both powerful and inert.
