Stephen Giannetti has explored the grid and the circle in various media over his 30-year career. Early in his career, he pioneered a new mode of approaching the modernist grid. By painting three primary and three secondary colors in a specific pattern to define a set of same-sized circles, Giannetti sought to create an engaging visual experience, where the act of seeing color is primary. For the past 15 years, Giannetti has adapted his method of hand-painting with traditional oil paint to the more contemporary application of acrylic spray paint. Using poker chips as a stencil for layering spray paint, he creates an active space where colors mix, and shapes fade in and out of view. During the pandemic, the artist began to use poker chips as the building blocks of sculptural forms. By creating objects referencing baskets, vases, or geometric shapes, the artist stays true to his interest in working with simplified forms and repeated patterns.
