Vincent Amicosante

b. 1952

Vincent Amicosante’s paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States, including The Cape Cod Museum of Art, The Cahoon Museum in Cotuit, MA, the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, the Cotuit Center for the Arts and the Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet, MA. He is a member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston, MA. Vincent participated in the 2009 Biennale Internazionale Dell’ Arte Contemporanea in Florence, Italy. Trained at New York City’s School of Visual Arts, he has established a reputation as a magic realist painter. In his paintings familiar, even banal themes are rearranged, becoming enigmatic. His painted world is one of staged metaphors- sofas and chairs combined in unexpected locations, figures and fruit combined for their sexuality. He has lived in California and traveled to Italy and the influence of these places are evident in his work. Vincent Amicosante is represented by the Harmon Gallery in Wellfleet, MA.
