"Passionate", "brilliantly colorful",
"soothing", "joyful" are just some of the adjectives that
collectors have used to define the painting of Pennsylvania born artist
Tony La Salle. Using acrylic on canvas, his subjects include small
stylized portraits, the three sisters, crowds of people at an event and his
massive bountiful gardens.
Decsribed as an "artist's artist", Dr. La Salle characterizes his
paintings as "extremely personal and reflective, the results coming from
an unplanned internal journey." His work hangs in private homes,
galleries, corporations, restaurants, cafes and universities from Boston and
New York on the east coast to San Francisco on the west coast as well as in
Paris, Tokyo, Taipei and Lebanon.
Dr. La Salle's work has been chosen for exhibitions at the Haverford School,
the Main Line Arts Center, and Delaware Valley College. He has also received a
commission to create a large canvas by Swarhmore College. His paintings are
currently represented by the Papagallo Gallery in Pittsburgh, Pa., Garth
Davidson Gallery in Moorestown, NJ, and Hrefna Jonsdottir Gallery in
Lambertville, NJ.
A professor on the faculty of Delaware Valley College, Dr. La Salle maintains a
studio in Media, Pennsylvania.
