Tom


Chicago artist Thomas Fedro creates abstract art with zing and boundless humor. His original innovations of creative and playful discovery incorporate a combination of cubist collage and whimsical pop art that have an addictive rhythm all their own. Large paintings, deep colors, big features and bold lines that seem to be electrically charged represent an exiting way of seeing and experiencing the modern world through his eyes.

Tom lives and works in Mt. Prospect, IL just outside of Chicago with his wife Alicia and son Jordan. He attended Valparaiso University and The Illinois Institute of Art. He and his wife owned a gallery for many years in Chicago. Currently, he is represented by galleries in the US and Europe and recent special projects include pieces commissioned for the Broadway show "Rent", the 40th anniversary of "The Second City", Toogood Wineries, Sweet Riot Candy Co. and Chicago's "Cow's on Parade". Corporate commissions include pieces for IBM, Hotel Allegro in Chicago, historic Navy Pier and Washburn Guitars.

Gino/gee.jpg

Gino Savarino
was born in Argentina on December 3, 1969. His parents migrated to Buenos Aires from Italy for a better life and in 1978 from Argentina to Chicago for an even better life therefore, he's fluent in Spanish and Italian. Soon after arriving to the United States, he needed some way to deal with the culture shock and for him the best way was through painting, drawing and listening to music. After graduating high school he enrolled in formal art classes for two years and soon after he decided to do things his way. 

Gino does not believe there should be rules and guidelines in art.  He adds, "If you truly feel what you've created comes from the heart, it's already a masterpiece. There is nothing more rewarding than to experiment with colors, shapes and styles, taking a step back when you're finished and having a sense of artistic accomplishment". This is why abstraction is the style of painting Savarino loves.
 
 
Artist Statement:

I create raw energy on canvas through texture, color and imagination. I do not approach a canvas with preconceived ideas. Once I place the brush in my hand, it takes a life of it's own. I paint spontaneously and fast without restrictions. All the rules and guidelines I've been taught, go out the window and I create the indescribable. I concentrate on the technique and not the final result. Once I'm out of energy, the piece is complete. My mission is to have those who view my paintings to forget about their everyday problems, even if it's only for a few seconds.

- As artists who have been selling on and off eBay for more than five years now, Tom Fedro and Gino Savarino strive for the best quality in both materials and finish. All their paintings are created with great care and are coated with varnish to protect the colors for extended time, and to ensure durability and protection against changes in room temperature. Prior to shipment, they personally ensure that all their paintings are properly packed. Strong cardboards and bubble wrap are always used as an added security measure. This proves to be sufficient to protect the painting.
