Vincent La Scala USA —

Vincent La Scala is a self-taught artist based in New York City. “[I have] been making collage art for roughly thirty years.” La Scala expalins. “In the mid- to late nineties my work appeared in a number of group shows at Adam Baumgold Gallery in Manhattan, culminating in a solo exhibition in 1998“. The result is impressive for an old technique of collage making that has been introduced many decades ago  Vincent La Scala is able to transcendend the technique with very secure fine images that soothen the eye. Grace Glueck, writing in The New York Times, said: “[Mr. La Scala’s] collages, in which snippets of images from everywhere—even a piece of painting by Edward Hopper—are tumultuously juxtaposed. Max Ernst and others got there a long time ago, of course, but Mr. La Scala imposes his own will on this well-worn technique.”
