Gerald Saladyga is a renowned artist based in New Haven, CT, whose work primarily focuses on representing landscapes. However, his approach goes beyond romanticizing the past, as he draws inspiration from the ever-changing environment challenged by urban sprawl, pollution, industrialization, victimization, and conflict. Through his use of color, form, and texture, Saladyga invites viewers into a world of fantasy that subtly hints at underlying unease and the hidden stories beneath the surface.
Saladyga's artistic perspective was further reinforced during a trip to Poland, where he discovered a profound belief that every surface holds another story waiting to be uncovered or acknowledged. He delves into the layers of history, from the Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw to the uprisings and massacres that have shaped landscapes. His work explores the impact of the past on the present and future, emphasizing the hidden secrets that lie within every piece of real estate and the profound influence they have on our lives.
