ARTIST'S STATEMENT

A Man for All Seasons

Sam Gatelaro, a Canadian, born in Montreal, showed a marked affinity for drawing and was encouraged to develop his talents in oils, pastels and watercolors as a student and friend of the late Thomas Hilton Garside, R.C.A.

Like many of his friends, painters Francesco Iacurto, R.C.A., Umberto Bruni, R.C.A., Littorio Del Signore, Andrei Zadarozny, Helmut Gerth, Barbara Simmons, and Professor Armand Tatossian, R.C.A., Sam finds interest in all seasons, particularly in the fall or spring, when the rivers come seeping down the Laurentian slopes, with ice at the edges turning to jade and sapphire. He greatly appreciates the spectacular seasonal colors of Canada, particularly the Quebec regions of Charlevoix, the Laurentians and Rigaud.

In addition to being a longtime friendship member of the Royal Academy in London, England, The Rockport Association, Sam completed three terms as President of the Montreal Arts Club, which was founded by the late William Maxwell and Maurice Cullen in 1912. He is also a member of the Westmount Independent Art Association, and the Kirkland Artists Association, where he currently resides. A description of his art works are included in the Magazine D'Art and The Guide Vallée, Art Books of Canadian Artists.

Sam won numerous prizes for his work. His oil paintings were selected for the calendars of the Dupont Company of Canada, and the Canadian Aviation Electronics (CAE). His paintings are also at the Canadian Development Bank of Canada, the Bank of Montreal, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, among others. Sam won the George Etienne Cartier Paint in the Park Award for watercolor in 1991 and for oil in 1992 and 1993. He received the Award of Excellence in 1994.

After a long and distinguished aviation career spanning over forty years, Sam pursues his artistic talents in oil and watercolors, for which he has become well known. His work continues to find a widening appreciation in Canada, the USA and abroad.

His lifetime ambition in the arts is to help promote upcoming artists, as well as those who make significant cultural contributions to their community.
