‘Shostakovich #1’
TONY SALADINO
Statement
“I enjoy the risk taking aspect of doing varied themes, and shifting from medium to medium. While I consider many of my pieces to be personal I am, nevertheless, concerned that the viewer sees images that are universal enough to compel him or her to keep looking at the work.
An artist communicates an idea, or feeling, or tries to make connections. I hope each piece possesses a spatial energy that compels a viewer to look, and that the images are universal enough to be compelling.”

Mr. Saladino’s work is in the collections of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Hanoi; University of Wisconsin, Parkside; University of Dallas, Wichita Falls Museum, Museum of International Art, Bahia, Brazil; and the Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Missouri. He is listed in Who’s Who in American Art and Who’s Who in the South and Southwest.
