"Bringing the Museum to You"

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions of works by Canadian contemporary painter Renato Muccillo (born 1965 in Vancouver, British Columbia).
 

While largely self-taught, Renato studied briefly under Vancouver artist Harold Powell. He describes his style as “a deeply-controlled Impressionism.” Renato is also influenced by late-19th-century American tonalist painter George Inness and luminists like Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Church.

Renato's painting style evolved after he visited a late-1990s show at the Vancouver Art Gallery by the Group of Seven, an alliance of artists who revolutionized painting in Canada after World War I. By 2002, Renato was selling his landscapes, which were displayed in group shows at the Federation of Canadian Artists. Solo exhibitions soon followed. Since 2003, Muccillo has been painting full time.
