"Ciccariello's work does what art should do: challenge us philosophically, as well as aesthetically. His images reference the 'book of nature' deconstructed by Foucault; they push this book to the limits, where it dissolves into the inchoate. The Absolute turns out to be a text, after all, and one both beautiful and accessible, busily falling apart, churning worlds and words."
- Alan Sondheim
"Peter Ciccariello is an acclaimed digital painter and poet. His images go beyond the confines of paint and canvas into the realm of digital art. Peter incorporates text/letters into his paintings, creating hybridizations of image and symbol with intriguing titles, such as "G Dying Center Stage," "The Distance of Language from Itself," "Poem, Barely Alive in Landscape," and "Prufrock-1919." Ciccariello's poetics show in these titles and the dynamic relationship between text and image in his artwork."
- Ben Kaja, The New River Journal
"Kaleidoscopic in intent and brilliant in their fractured intensity, the works of Peter Ciccariello offer the viewer a combination of textual and graphic layerings. These works show a constantly evolving talent at work."
- mez breeze
"Ciccariello is talented, experienced and sophisticated in his art. His 2D art is very accomplished too. There are very few who can bring his skill set to this sort of thing."
- Don Archer, MOCA, Museum of Computer art
"Texture, color, title, an eerie combination that lays out a landscape that wants to reference Art History yet is strong enough to bare its own ground, a place where language dreams itself into existence."
- Joel Weishaus
"Words when they are re-contexted in Peter Ciccariello's rich, dark layers, release any limitations we might have suspected could contain them. I am immersed in, amazed by, and drawn into the dr(e)amatic tissues that attest to an evolved state of perception signaling a spiral of continual regeneration."
- Sheila E. Murphy
B I O G R A P H Y
Trained as a traditional painter, Peter Ciccariello has transformed into an interdisciplinary artist, poet, and photographer, whose current creative tools are the computer and the Internet. Working with pixels and a mouse, instead of oil paint and brushes, Peter's recent work has focused on experimenting with the fusion of image and texture in 3-D computer graphics environments.
Recent work has appeared both in print & online in, amongst other places, MOCA The Museum of Computer Art, The New River Journal, dbqp: visualizing poetics, Oregon Literary Review, The Long Island Quarterly, Otoliths, and Word For/ Word - A journal of new writing. His book Imaginal Landscapes, an experiment with the poem in landscape as it relates to poetic geography was published by Xexoxial Editions. Links to his current online work can be found at
