Jack Radetsky was
born in 1948. Educated at the School of Visual Arts in New York
City, he received numerous grants and fellowships including
the Yale Fellowship in 1974 and 1975. In October 1978 he participated
in the CAPS (Creative Artist Public Service Program) Exhibition.
Radetsky is recognized as a forerunner
of the new romantic realist movement. Radetsky emphasizes painterly
techniques with magic and illusionary clarity. His windows are
simultaneously interior and exterior and have a breathtakingly
exquisite luminosity.
Radetsky's paintings hum with urban
sounds hushed by his breezy curtains and quiescent windows.
These windows become screens where collected memorabilia create
a symphony of objects - halos of shadows with an ethereal life
of their own. Ghost - like, the are apparitions emitting auras
of color, allowing objects to become suspended between illusion
and memory
