Cordell Cordaro’s colorful crowd of characters seem to have walked out of many different types of story-realms. Stylistically, Cordaro’s party-scene works nod to Egon Schiele’s elegant waifs, in which anatomical distortions convey emotional truths, but his gestural brushstrokes and playful, mythic injections make his prolific portfolio firmly his own. An increasing master of several media, Cordaro’s work includes paintings, ink drawings, and combinations of the two. Fans can enjoy numerous examples of his work in a variety of venues around Rochester and the Finger Lakes. |
