Petrillo was born in 1946 in Providence, Rhode Island. He
received a BFA in painting and drawing from the Swain School
of Design. He moved to New York and received an MFA from
Brooklyn College in 1971. He has lived and worked in New
York since then. He has taught art and design at colleges
throughout the metropolitan area including, New York Academy
of Figurative Art, Brooklyn College, The Fashion Institute
of Technology, and Brooklyn Museum. |

| Petrillo
was one of the founding members of the First Street Gallery
in the late 1960's. His work has been exhibited in numerous
one-person and group exhibitions in New York. Petrillo's
work is in public and private collections both nationally
and internationally. |
|
Of
his work in this exhibition, Petrillo says:
| The
landscapes are from my property in Massachusetts.
The figurative drawings are developed from a grant
provided by the Research Foundation of the City
University of New York. The still-life is an ongoing
interest for me. Observing light as it illuminates
a particular place, while creating a moment expressing
a frame of mind, has been the inspiration for these
works |
