Corey Pane is a free-spirited artist. He obtained his degree at U of Hartford Art School and chose to make his living where the world of popular culture will pay for visual art. He moves in the music and art and sports worlds. There and in the spaces of the public square. That public square occupies social media and the empty places in cities.
Monumental art looks more like what can be seen in New York, Boston, Philadelphia city spaces. No new public artwork though, looks like the triumphal arches and statuary courtyards of Paris or Florence.
Mr. Pane is a practitioner in Hartford, West Hartford and beyond. He can be seen at work with a spray can in one hand and a cell phone in the other. He produced a giant mural at or near the old SNET Building on Trumbull Street. In it a small girl thirty feet high tip toes and lifts a watering can that nurtures some sunflowers nearby. The cheery colors, the happy childlike image, and the uplifting composition make it a lively sight in a downtown setting.
If you go up or down the stairway between the W Hartford Main Branch Library and Flemings or Barnes and Noble, you will see more of his work and in it are two hands raised up with shackles breaking away.
