Art Work

Mother and I

Charcoals & Graphite Drawings - Garnto's charcoal drawings and portraits capture the depth and simplicity of his subjects. A perfect medium for portraits, Garnto's charcoals grace the walls of both public and private collections. Garnto's charcoal portraits are some of his most sought after work. Because the rendering of his subject matter has such photographic realism, the charcoals have many times been mistaken for black & white photography. Read more...

Mixed Media Collage

Mixed Media Collage - Art collectors consider Al Garnto's collage assemblages extremely captivating and they are some of his most sought after pieces. These highly innovative works of art arrive at completion by accumulation of many different sources of materials including found objects, photography, dirt off the studio floor, old news paper, original drawings and sketches, paint, drawing materials, tar, broken glass, discarded trash from dumpsters and so on, all combined to complete a unique work of art. Garnto, a highly prolific artist, explains his thought processes. Read more...

Country Calder
Appalachian Sculpture Project - The Appalachian Sculpture Project was conceived by Al Garnto in hopes of exposing areas of the Appalachian Mountains to art and sculpture that would otherwise not be attainable by small community funding. Mr. Garnto hopes to increase local tourism, to attract students from surrounding colleges and school systems, to utilize recycled materials, to increase awareness of learning disabilities, and to add to the beauty of  Meeks Park.  Read more...  
Sculpture and Kinetic Sculpture by Al Garnto
Sculptures - Al Garnto’s kinetic sculptures have been getting a lot of attention because they are put into motion by harnessing the wind’s energy. These kinetic sculptures are mostly made out of recycled materials. Al says, “A lot of my sculpture is directly related to the working community and area from which I live. Most of the time my designs come out of the materials I find from work places like sawmills, machine and welding shops, construction sites, dumpsters, and old barns that are being torn down. I design my sculptures to come out of the recycled materials I find.” Read more...

Giclee Prints

Giclée Prints - This selection of limited edition Giclée prints are from Al Garnto's Nottely River Series of paintings and watercolors. Al has a fondness for Nottely River where he went swimming, rafting, and fishing as a child. Garnto says, "Nottely River played a big part in my life. Being born on July 6 make me a Cancer, a water sign. That must be why I like the water so much and am always finding new ways to use it in my artwork." Read more...

Composite Fine Art Photography

Composite Fine Art Photography - Garnto's composite fine art photography evolved as a result of manipulating text and images in Adobe Photoshop CS2. The process involves many different stages including printing, over painting, and textural effects. Mounted on canvas and boards, these contemporary pieces take creativity to it's limit. Read more...

Photography

Photography - Garnto's approach to photography is a lot like his approach to other mediums. Garnto started working seriously with photography in 2006 because of the vast amount of imagery he needed for his collage assemblages. Read more...
