Memo / Artist Statement
Seghi has developed a unique, refined range of paintings of fruit forms. Occasionally he has drifted into painting other subjects, such as artist tools and found objects, but his primary loyalty has been the painting of apples and pears. The irony in this enormous body of consistent work is that they still appear as landscape… landscape with a large pear in the middle.
