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 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.

and modern design. The desire and enthusiasm in abstract and cubist designs have unleashed a natural talent beyond comparison.

a sensible mood behind each design.
