Autism Speaks celebrates World Autism Awareness Day on with a global autism awareness campaign called "Light It Up Blue" - it's easy & fun to be a part of, you can do anything from wearing blue to putting up blue lighting.

Western Toilet, Vito Bonanno

OBSESSIONS & MEDITATIONS is a series of multi –layered pieces on canvas that resemble the multi-layered, chaotic thought process of images and thoughts that call Vito Bonanno’s mind their home. It’s a place where images, thoughts and words float around in a bumper-car like world, crashing and speeding in all directions. They rarely park into a memory garage to be taken out when requested by the owner, but instead barge their way around the crowded streets of his mind, looking for a place of prominence. As the artist struggles for control, he finds emotional relief from drawing these images of thoughts and feelings onto whatever surface is at the ready including a daily journal. Bonanno’s need to empty his head of this information developed into a multi-layered painting technique that creates the Obsessions & Meditations Series. Using spray paint, acrylic, craypas, paint pens and glitter, Bonanno would open the door to his mind and let the day’s images barge out onto the canvas. Over the months this process was repeated, and layers were added over layers, sometimes obliterating the entire drawing underneath, other times allowing some of the under drawings to peak through. Staying true to his hyper focused hybrid dream-state style, Bonanno has taken his abstract expressionism aesthetic to a level where silent images shout for your attention from off the canvas and demand that you take a closer look into the secrets and treasures hidden in plain sight; leaving you to ponder the wonders of the human mind and psyche as experienced by Bonanno and others who live and work with the daily challenge of, but too commonly overlooked gift, of autism. This piece is mixed media, including acrylic, spray paint, oil craypas and archival glitter and is framed in a black floater frame

#ArtoftheDay --> 'Daffy Goes To Waterbury With A Ninja Turtle', by New England-based artist @vitobonannoart from his Obsessions & Meditations 2014 collection - made with spray paint, acrylic, oil stick, and archival glitter on canvas, 41.5 x 41.5 in a black floater frame. Vito Bonanno is an internationally-recognized artist who taps into the daily emotional and social challenges of living with autism, placing his innermost feelings onto canvas. His work is image and concept driven and embedded in his personal philosophy, his art contains the essence of his life, feelings, thoughts and dreams, coupled around objects or topics that get "stuck in his head" including traffic lights, grids, ceiling fans, graffiti and pop culture.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington DC in 2015 as part of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and 40th anniversary of the VSA Arts emerging young artist program curated by Stephanie Moore, only 16 visual artists in the US were chosen to participate. www.vitobonanno.com #art #arte #artist #vitobonanno #i #me #instadaily #painting #picoftheday #ct #instaart #instaartist #instagood #igdaily #instamood #instagramhub #dc #insta #contemporaryart #instalikes #collector #daffyduck #igart #artcollector #miami #photooftheday #miamiartscene (at Miami Beach, Florida)

#ArtoftheDay --> 'Silos', from my 2015 Anxiety & Dreams series. "Vito Bonanno’s art is a mirror into his inner being. His art resembles the multi-layered, chaotic thought process of his mind where images, thoughts, and words float around in a bumper-car like a world, crashing and speeding in all directions. They rarely park into a memory garage to be taken out only when wanted, but instead barge their way around the crowded streets of his mind, all fighting to be in front of the line. Bonanno finds relief from these visual intrusions by putting them down onto canvas until layers are added over layers, sometimes obliterating the entire drawing underneath, other times allowing some of the underdrawings and the emotions they evoke to peak through."
