Dan Allegrucci:

Artist Statement:

I present fragmented narratives that do not tell a complete story, but balance specific detail with ambiguity. Each image acts as an incomplete framework for the viewer to attach his/her own experience and interpretations to.

My preferred medium is woodcut printmaking. The gouge creates a physical, unforgiving line that is well suited for an honest, sometimes harsh, examination of a subject. I use the technique to explore masculine stereotypes. Fathers, fighters, workers, etc., are often referenced either directly or indirectly.
