Art
Friends and colleagues praise Gatti's "genius" for creative design. He is among few American designers who approach event planning as a visual art form as much as a business service. Along with New York's Robert Isabell he is "one of the most venerated event designers in the country." The creative process is spontaneous and focuses heavily on color. He follows color trends in fashion (his favorite is green), but in event design, he explains, "I do not know what the trends are because I set the trends." A florist by background, he usually designs elaborate floral displays for events, yet sometimes excludes them entirely. "Everyone expects flowers, especially from me", he explains. "I don’t ever really want to be pegged into a corner.".

Famous quotes containing the word art:

“We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue—the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.”
—D.W. (David Wark)
“In our day the conventional element in literature is elaborately disguised by a law of copyright pretending that every work of art is an invention distinctive enough to be patented.”
