Local photographer, painter, and writer John Molezzo creates large collages of Reno’s downtown area using digital prints on canvas with oil paints and wax mediums. “As seen in my ever continuing series of collages entitled “Visions Redux” and also in my more traditional shots, I show remnants of the Reno I knew as a kid and the Reno that I see today in an attempt to let the viewer experience for themselves my own personal vision of our wonderful city.” John grew up in Reno, attended UNR, and later moved to California. While in San Diego, He worked with nationally recognized Sledgehammer Theatre and cofounded the multimedia art group IEC.
“I have always been drawn to our local landmarks, our wonderful old motel signs as well as our architecture and gaming establishments. “The feeling” of my images comes from mixture of those memories. What was my past is now my present and who I am today as an artist is a direct reflection of my early years growing up here. Reno’s art is in its buildings and streets and sky and river and mountains and people.” http://www.saveriocine.com/
