LAGUNA BEACH ARTIST FEATURED IN "COMMUNITY FOCUS SPACE PROGRAM" AT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT
by Editor
SANTA ANA, Calif. – A selection of paintings by Laguna Beach artist
Mark Jacobucci will be on display through
January 30, 2012 in the
Thomas F. Riley Terminal as part of
John Wayne Airport’s
Community Focus Space Program.
His artwork can be seen on
the departure (upper) level
near the security screening areas and on
the arrival (lower) level
near baggage carousels 1 and 4.
Jacobucci’s paintings are primarily landscapes: beaches, coastlines and rural scenes.
“Often I try to see and paint the
beauty in an ordinary everyday scene,
such as
an alleyway or
a street intersection,” said Jacobucci.
The JWA exhibition will feature
seven oil paintings depicting
playing,
working
and driving around in
Orange County.
Known for using
vibrant colors,
large brushstrokes and
plein air methods,
Jacobucci gives a contemporary flair to his paintings.
He studied painting in high school on
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, attended
Brandeis University for his
Bachelors of Arts Degree and the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst, earning a Master’s of Liberal Arts Degree (MLA).
After receiving his
MLA in Landscape Architecture in
1984,
Jacobucci came to
California the following year to work in the profession at
an internationally acclaimed design firm in
Laguna Beach.
He continued to paint and sketch and took painting classes at the
Laguna College of Art.
Jacobucci’s work is displayed in various exhibitions including the
Festival of Arts in
Laguna Beach since
2001, and is held by numerous private collectors and corporations.
Corporate collectors include:
The Hyatt Hotels,
Irvine Company,
Irvine Apartment Communities,
Peralta Partners,
McDermott Will & Emery,
Transtar,
Corrigan Law,
Coffee Architects,
Broadcom, and
Union Bank.
