This group of paintings began at the beginning of the COVID lockdown in March. They mark a temporal and formal progression from the previous body of work called "Machu Picchu."
In the ongoing and daily practice of making art, the new paintings make a poignant mark in the trajectory of Arnoldi's 45+ years as an artist.

    Such a fascinating extension of Cubism, as pioneered by Picasso & Braque early in the 20 th C.; which was itself a bridge from representation into pure abstraction. Arguable who made the 1st purely abstract paintings. In the past, art thinkers pegged Kandinsky ~1917. But 2 women, Hilma af Klint and Georgia O’Keefe pre-dated Kandinsky with purely abstract works.

    Instead of close-cropped hatch marks used by Picasso & Braque, Arnoldi has expanded both the spatial relationships into flat planes while also expanding the color palette. He incorporates a playful array of contact points for the eye with an underlying rigor for the mind.
