Ocean Power—Depths of Blue—The Paintings of Carol Calicchio

 

On Thursday, November 21, 2024, Artist Carol Calicchio hosted a celebratory book signing an exhibition at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. Calicchio Art was pleased to announce the publication of Ocean Power—Depths of Blue—The Paintings of Carol Calicchio. This hardcover coffee table book documents the artist’s paintings and celebrates marine life's inherent beauty and variety in a vibrant abstract expressionist format. The artist’s primary purpose and enthusiasm for the book is to raise awareness and educate through her art by promoting an understanding of the beauty and importance of marine life. A portion of the book sales will be contributed to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Florida.

 

Bruce Helander wrote the book with editorial contributions by Anthony Haden-Guest, renowned British art critic, and Elizabeth Sobieski, a Los Angeles-based writer specializing in the visual arts.The book was compiled by award-winning designer Dan Ellis, who has created projects for theWhitney Museum of American Art and Harvard University. This is the second hardcover book of Colicchio's paintings, following last year’s remarkable success of Flower Power, now in its third printing. 

 

A spectacular turnout of notables from all walks of life packed The Solariumand gardens.Guests at the soiree mingled and admired vast displays of Calicchio’s colorful artwork and waited in line to meet the artist for signed books and photos.
