Gianola’s paintings are the result of a fifty-plus year long experience with the Art Spirit, pursuing the possibilities of a personal transformative vision, engaging emotion, expression, and the poetry of visual music. Rather than depict the specific, he works in a more personal manner using a harmony of forms from observed, created, and remembered sources. Gianola paints with enough content that the mind and imagination are pleased and with enough literal image that the eye is also satisfied.
