Positively Parente by Sarah Rumsey, Houston Magazine - September 2010



Positively Parente by Sarah Rumsey

Italy-born, Houston-based abstract artist Nicola Parente unveils his latest works in a buzzed-about show, Edge of Awakening, at Gremillion & Co. Fine Art gallery this month. To make each piece—in which white space is sliced with intermittent black lines and splashes of color—the artist used recycled plastics, charcoals and inks to convey his hopeful message. “The importance of a new day, new beginning and society’s own awakening to those moments,” says Parente. “Each awakening brings new opportunity to create, and that is what I hoped to have captured.”

Gremillion & Co. Fine Art, 2501 Sunset Blvd., 713.522.2701, Sept. 10-Oct. 6, opening reception Sept. 10, 6-8pm.
