Vic Vicini is a Michigan painter who considers himself a painter of contemporary still-life. He graduated from Wayne State University with a BFA in Painting and Print Making. His retro paintings capture the realism of everyday objects while still maintaining a painterly style. His paintings capture the nostalgia of his childhood when his father would take him to American diners where breakfast was served for dinner. He paints objects of a hearty breakfast and also paintings of food in the process of being made into a meal. They allow the viewer to appreciate the artistic and beautiful aspect of food. The composition forces the viewer to focus on the subject itself rather than its surroundings. The highlights in the glossy objects are exaggerated. I chose his paintings to research because I love the bright colors and the unique compositions he chooses. I feel like nobody would think twice about painting a bowl of cut up peaches or a bottle of ketchup. He takes ordinary objects and gives them their own beauty.
