Two of Medici’s Works Reach Finals in Fusion Arts…

The new year has gotten off to a pretty good start for Medici.

Aside from completing new pieces, such as Calm (48” x 24” acrylic on canvas), as well as the initial phase of his upcoming “#Plant” series, two of Medici’s works were chosen for inclusion in Fusion Arts online competitions.

Medici’s Families Upside Down at Santa Monica Art Studios.

Medici’s Families Upside Down, an amalgamation of three separate pieces totaling 12 individual panels (acrylic on canvas, 22” x 18”), was chosen as a finalist in Fusion Art’s 4th Annual Colors Online Juried Art Exhibition held this month.

“Putting yourself ‘out there’ is always a little uncomfortable,” says Medici, who continues his “Venture in Vulnerability,” the title of his first show held in late 2018.

Fusion Arts’ website hosts uniquely themed monthly and quarterly solo and group art competitions and exhibitions, while providing artists with worldwide exposure and the opportunity to compete for additional exhibition opportunities and awards.

Last month, Black Rain (mixed media, acrylic on canvas, 38” x 40”) was chosen as a finalist for Fusion Arts’ 5th Annual Artist’s Choice Online Juried Art Exhibition.

“It doesn’t matter if you are entering an international competition or showing a new piece privately, there’s always some level of vulnerability there,” adds Medici.

Spring Too Late Is Meant to Be

For a lover of flowers and art, Spring Too Late was the perfect addition to this executive’s office in Woodland Hills, Calif.

Medici’s acrylic on canvas depicts the dichotomy between the beauty of spring and a polluted earth. Nearly 2,000 individual placed “stickers” and a distressed black mist simulate a black rain effect in this 2017 mixed media artwork.

“It [Spring Too Late] makes me happy every time I enter my office,” said Laurie, who has a propensity for flowers as evident by her office decor. “The painting it just me. I love it.”

The artist spent two months to complete the piece in various stages.
