Enrico Pinardi was a leading figure among New England painters, sculptors, and draftsmen in the 1960s. After earning a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art, Pinardi went on to earn an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 1967. Pinardi's work reflects the heritage of early twentieth-century surrealism all the while showcasing a minimalist approach, trompe l’oeil style, and creative skills. Throughout his prolific career, Pinardi produced paintings and sculptures that dealt with both the dream world and the viewer’s consciousness by integrating art historical and religious symbols into his own experiences. Pinardi developed an individual style that honors, builds upon, and establishes new modes of dealing with the subconscious. Guiding him through his most challenging personal experiences, his artwork yields marvelous results and mysterious mazes of a life lived to the fullest, inviting the viewer to share his experiences and dreams. Like the best metaphysical art, many of Pinardi's spaces may be uncomfortable to enter but are always entrancing, thought-provoking, and sincere.
