2024, Acrylic on cradled wood panel, 24 x 18 inches
Don Fortenberry has exhibited in New York City, Philadelphia and North Carolina. His first group show was at the World Trade Center in 1978. He has an MFA from Brooklyn College, 1979 and an MFA from M.I.C.A., 1977. His work is in various private and corporate collections.
Working predominantly with acrylic paint on cradled wood panels, I create pieces with balance and tension. The geometric forms retain an important handmade touch. Vibrant colors meet and harmonize, or at times, intentionally fail to harmonize, creating a visual whole that is hypnotic and thought-provoking.
