Artists of Athens: Charles Nicolosi

I work in mixed media that combines acrylic painted canvases, sewing and quilting. I very recently designed a new stained glass look and feel to the Progressive Pride flag that I developed. I paint 12 very large canvases and cut them into strips, then assemble them by sewing machine. Similarly to quilting, there is a layer of cotton batting and a backside fabric. All of the seams are free motion quilted and then mounted to a custom built frame.


 

I developed a Behind The Art page that describes my varied artwork.
