“Shamanic Painting 03” is a balanced composition with a deep musical rhythm, bright and cool as free form jazz. Repeat viewings reveal the play of animals in their natural setting, as the full canvas explores the wild jungle within the subconscious mind.

Critelli’s time-consuming process involves liquefying acrylic paint, molding it into 3-dimensional pieces, and interweaving hundreds of dried pieces onto a canvas wet with paint. Think Jackson Pollock meets Basquiat -- or Nickelodeon -- as the Shamanic Paintings’ tactile splatter is a nostalgic callback to 1990s youth culture.
