About the Artist:
Inspired and influenced by the Old Masters and Post-Impressionists, Seguso’s technique is under-painting in grisaille, and most of his works include varying degrees of glazing, “a technique, often overlooked by modern-day artists but an invaluable tool in creating jewel-like depth and style that is impossible to achieve by just mixing paint,” Seguso says.
Seguso’s colorful past includes working for legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen as his Road Manager and confidant in the mid-1970s. He played a pivotal role in the musician’s rise to stardom.
