Vic Sakellar
Homeless artist's work portrays joy, suffering and survival
|
Behind the Fretwell Building on University Avenue on a cold morning, Vic Sakellar pulls out a few of his paintings that he keeps locked up in a small alcove in the basement. The paintings are mostly oils or pastels or chalk, sometimes painted on cardboard or wood. And they're simple, usually one person looking straight back at the viewer, a person with huge eyes painted with unreal colors. As a homeless Vietnam veteran with no artistic training, Sakellar approaches his paintings' subjects with an outsider's point of view.
