Like many artists, Giovanni DeCunto had to face an inspirational reckoning during the pandemic, but nothing seems to stop this famed painter from creating and collaborating.
His vision continues to evolve, he says, and he has found ways to work and provide art that both entertains and provokes internal thought that is “still being pieced together right now because I have a global commitment to the world,” DeCunto says without a hint of bragging.
DeCunto does indeed. Despite the economic slowdown, DeCunto is still very much in demand.
“I have a satellite gallery and framer in the Seaport District,” says DeCunto. He collaborated with shoe manufacturer New Balance, which makes its footwear in DeCunto’s hometown of Lawrence, on a project that is called “Made in America, Baby,” which was captured in a 3-minute video that has aired on television as a commercial.
