DeGrazia said “Every artist must contribute something of his own to the world of art. He must also have a recognizable style so that once you see it one doesn’t forget it. I don’t need a facial expression to convey the mood of my paintings.”

There is only one more week to check out “DeGrazia Recycled”! Tucson artist Ted DeGrazia recycled ceiling board scraps from the construction of his landmark Gallery in the Sun into a series of oil paintings. This exhibit is on display until January 26th, 2022.

"One, Two, Three, Four", oil on ceiling board, no date.

DeGrazia said, “My paintings are my life. They are my experience. They are what I have felt and known. Such things are not expressed easily in art.”
