"Volpe is well known locally for his landscapes in oil, both crisp plein air paintings and dreamy scenes remembered. This large collection of his work includes both styles and shows off his range. One appreciates the more abstract pieces even more after having seen the control of Volpe’s realism. Also a poet, Volpe is drawn to the changing colors, lights and moods of nature, like dusk and mist. It’s the ability of his paintings to exude emotion and movement that distinguish them from other New England landscapes, as well as a unique perspective and contemporary composition."-The Wire, April 6, 2011
