michele

AMATRULA Michele Amatrula has a voice and vision unique amongst contemporary photorealist painters.

Using skills honed during decades as a leading professional illustrator, she depicts small glimpses of unexpected beauty in everyday life. Her work stands out for both it’s unexpected subject matter and exquisite portrayal of light and shadow. Amatrula embraces wear and tear, melancholy moments, and faded glory. In her capable hands, vintage bottle caps take on the evocative luster of the Dutch Masters, tattooed limbs reveal more truth than a conventional portrait, and antique household objects evoke nostalgia for a simpler time even as they recall the complex lives of their owners. Informed by the past, Amatrula’s precise paintings celebrate the perfect imprecision of the present, and remind us of the possibility of a joyful future.

BAILEY

Mark Andrew Bailey’s painterly brushstrokes subtly define the figures and objects within his works. His contemporary impressionist style captures an intimate portrait of his subjects and their surrounding environment, with his cityscapes and interiors glowing with the energy of their bustling urban backdrops. His exquisite figures reveal an undertone of an individual story within each scene he translates onto canvas.

BARRON

Barron is attracted to the painting style of the seventeenth century, particularly tenebrism, also called dramatic illumination. Tenebrism is a style of painting using very pronounced chiaroscuro, where there are violent contrasts of light and dark and darkness becomes a dominating feature of the image. Barron is also influenced by the Academy of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

BENSLY

Born in Thailand and raised mainly in Hong Kong and England, Bryony Bensly experienced a multicultural upbringing, with artistic influences that ranged from Asian religious art to postmodernism. She had forays into installation art, made sculptures out of organic matter, and then circled back to her first love: drawing and painting. Bensly’s work is a juxtaposition of conceptual ideas and realism, manifesting in surreal imagery with a narrative that focuses on our internal and external life. Her current body of work focuses on our interdependence, responsibility, and attitudes towards nature and the environment.

Suchitra strives to depict the atmosphere of the setting, and the mood of the model.

She is aided in this by her study of the technical anatomical underpinnings that provide the foundation of her paintings, and the knowledge of use of color.

Mission Interior oil 16 x 12 View more works from this artist by clicking here

Free to paint without the burden of a camera’s detail, the landscapes come from a place filled with emotion, a place that he knows well. It was only a matter of time before it would find its way from his head and onto his canvas.

I try to convey a feeling of time and atmosphere through texture, design and color. My goal is to trigger a familiar feeling in the viewer as they connect to a painting.

Siena Height oil 10 x 10 View more works from this artist by clicking here

Known for his strong textures and saturated colors, Dean makes up his own hues, often heightening them, yet remains true to nature.

When I come across a scene I want to paint, it’s because of its strong design element and dramatic lighting. I like to do deep aspen interiors, because the range of subtle colors makes an overall unified, harmonious painting. It takes a lot of driving and hiking to find that one great scene.

- Dean Bradshaw

Afternoon Abstraction oil 32 x 60 View more works from this artist by clicking here

Brown has come to appreciate the subtleties and drama created, by changing light and regularly incorporates them into his work. He spends a great deal of time in the field studying his subject matter. The photos and small oil studies he does on site are just a reference, however, and bear little resemblance to the canvases he ultimately produces.

My paintings are all about light and mood.

COONROD

I am a still life painter, particularly interested in fruit and flowers, the artist says. I enjoy exploring their colors and idiosyncrasies of form which can imply gesture and personality. Each object is unique, and the interactions between objects point to a story or dialogue. I’m an enthusiastic gardener and my paintings often include subject matter that I’ve grown.

-Trish Coonrod

Daggett is inspired by the rich, varied, and sometimes harsh New Mexico landscape, which he captures en plein air. He works predominantly within a 50-mile radius of his home and studio, seeking out scenes that hit him visually. He explains, “I’ll pull over and say, ‘Wow, I have to paint that.’” He works fast and completes each piece on location, battling wind, cold, and other weather conditions. “The challenge is trying to capture the scene as it’s happening,” he says. He relishes this test, as it allows him to convey his own action-oriented experiences to viewers.

A tireless, compulsive painter, he has produced countless representations of the Southwest in all of its magnificence. His style is characterized by dark outlines and short discrete brush strokes that catch color and movement of his subjects with vivid flourish. And above all he conveys a sense of the regions brilliant light.

Davenport’s strong foundation in representationalism has led him to paint the funny and humorous side of animals and how they differ, as well as relate, to human life. His view of the animal world allows us all to observe and even laugh at ourselves occasionally.

I’ve been working as a wood sculptor for 35 years and have developed my own way of working this beautiful material. My sculptures of animals involve a process of constant adding and subtracting blocks of wood until a complex, surprising surface is established. While building these blocks of color and pattern, I also work out the proportion and expression of the character. This process of building up and breaking down gives life to the character of the animals and creates an element of transformation.

DIBBLE

Having grown up on a farm in Utah, agriculture is deeply ingrained in my soul. Mountains and farms seem to be what I constantly come back to for inspiration. Seeing the loss of so much farmland in the country and the struggles that remaining farmers face, I want to celebrate that legacy, help others see the nobility in it, and encourage national dialogue about the role of agriculture and related spaces in our communities.

Remarkable things happen to commonplace objects in David’s paintings.

A can or jar, a flower, a paint brush- a palette as a sole subject or as elements in a complex composition take on a monumental quality through scale changes and central placement. The objects painted assume a commanding presence through his assertive paint application. Immediacy and spontaneity are achieved not only with a brush, but also through the smear of a thumb, the wipe of a rag, and the “weight and speed” of a drip.

The clarity, calmness, and reverence for the beauty in everyday objects is what Cary sees in the objects that she tries to capture in her work.

Erickson has developed a warm, inviting pictorial voice grounded in traditional realism, informed by the principles of design, and inspired by nature and human experience.

Color has emotional weight and is related to the shape of space. Drawing or painting, for me, means to look at the thing and transmit its vitality to the canvas.

Fryer attempts to recreate the way in which we perceive the landscape through quick glances, close observations or emotional attachments. The resulting imagery is “out of focus, interpenetrating, merging and melting away.”

Paradoxically, the more I abstract an image the more real it seems to me, or the more it represents or interprets how my eye and mind actually see the world.

GALLARDA

Gallarda’s paintings, although cutting edge in imagery and ideas, are solidly grounded within the traditional field of easel trompe l’oeil. To him, every image in the painting must fool the viewer’s mind or else – “it’s just a still life.” This strict commitment to the traditional requirements of the genre, combined with his skill, is what renders a Gallarda trompe l’oeil painting truly convincing.

sherry

JOHNSON Sherry’s go-to medium is oil paint and she uses a brush instead of a palette knife. She’ll compose the image first, before starting the painting. She goes in with a drawing first that is really tight. Then comes in with a contemporary approach and start laying down the color. One of the recurring challenges Sherry faces is deciding what background color will go best with the skull. She wrestles with that quite a bit, sometimes it will get to a point where she will put the painting aside and come back to it with fresh eyes in a few days.

shelby

KEEFE I am passionate about drawing and depicting my subjects with honesty as well as expressiveness.

My goal is to create a fresh perspective to the recognizable world without being predictable or mundane. Being comfortable at rendering in oil paint, I enjoy tackling complex subjects from cityscapes to the figure in the ala prima method of wet on wet. Utilizing a vibrant underpainting technique of complimentary colors, my oil paintings are complex, but not overlyworked. As I continue to grow as a representationalist painter, I plan to develop my ability to say more with less.

marilou

KUNDMUELLER Now as a fine artist, her works are primarily oil on canvas or board and monotype.

Marilou’s motivation to paint is light and in a variety of subject matter from everyday life that captures her interest: the elegant gesture of birds in flight, and impossible delicacies of plant life or the inspiring light and gesture of accidental still-lifes and fabrics (posed like models or observed) creates endless opportunities to play with color.

My goal as a painter is to have each painting be momentum for the next as a continuum for growth, to mature my facility with paint. I think the vocabulary of paint is everything.

LEE

Patrick Lee takes a unique creative approach to making paintings in the studio and en plein air. He draws heavily on intuition and imagination to develop an image, often altering the drawing, color, and spatial relationships to create a mood and express a feeling about the subject. This often leads to strong elements of abstraction and suggestion in his work, rather than explicit detail.

This gives the viewer an opportunity to connect with each piece in their own way, inviting them to let their own imaginations make personal associations and connections.

“Elegant restraint” is a term that has been associated with Lewis’ painting style, which is strongly influenced by Japanese art. I am drawn to simplicity of color, style, and composition, says Lewis.

MAUGHAN Maughan began his career in commercial illustration in New York in 1974. Since that time his illustrations have appeared in numerous magazines, children’s books, paperback book covers, and ad campaigns. After establishing himself as a widely sought-after illustrator. This new vision and artistic interpretation of a purely painterly approach marked a turning point which continues today. Maughan created images in both oil and pastel that focused on the serene and peaceful mood of the life he experienced. The cool colors of a canal scene in Venice or the soft glow on his daughters faces bathed in sunlight are images that conveyed Maughan’s sense of romanticism and wide scope. Each work is a tribute to his eye for composition and technique.

SILTALA Stillness and moments of quiet are the ephemeral influences in my work. Just as a bird alights only for a moment and then is gone, I try to capture that brief moment where the world stops for an instant and we are fully aware. Whether a still life or landscape, I am interested in capturing the most feeling with the least amount of busy mark making to communicate my vision. I prefer smooth surfaces and empty space to showcase the small details I want the viewer to focus on. I spend several weeks on each painting, patiently layering thin veils of oil paint to reveal a depth of color and luminosity that makes each work unique. This draws the viewer in to look more closely at its hidden complexity. I try to find balance in quiet, contemporary composition and harmonious color and texture.

Eric captures stillness. He captures moments. Whether he is painting in oil, egg tempera or watercolor, he is seeking to evoke a haunting memory, a lost feeling.

In a fast-paced world of deadlines, obligations and busyness, Eric invites you into the peace that he has enveloped within this momentary glimpse in time. Believing that we all seek silence, without even realizing it, he implores you to dwell on something simple you otherwise would have overlooked, or have long-forgotten.

Literally and figuratively, he sheds light into the attics of our lives, even if it is just to awaken a feeling buried deep within the viewer.A major influence on Eric’s work is the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, an appreciation of imperfection, age and patina, often referred to as “flawed beauty.”

I don’t get too deep about my work. I’m not intellectual about it. I sculpt because I love it, and I focus on subjects that actually matter to me. If I don’t love it and have a feeling for it, I probably couldn’t do it in the first place, and I don’t think people would respond to it anyway.

WALLIS

The pseudo- intellectual community will have us analyzing art for analysis’ sake, viewing art for viewing’s sake and buying art for buying’s sake. They will tell us white is black, good is bad, ugly is beautiful. All this will be done in an effort to convince the ordinary person that he or she cannot understand or appreciate art. Painting for me comes from the heart, not from the head. Emotion communicates. Intellectualism befuddles us with rules, dogmas, and ramblings.

When someone views my painting, I want them to see emotionally with me. Every artist has strengths and weaknesses. Some are great draftsmen, others are great composers. I’m a colorist.

I can hardly wade through the other things because I want to get the thick, juicy color working.

WECKBACH Subject matter to me is a vehicle for me to explore how I observe life. My urban influences are an assembly of varied fabrics stitched together to form a tapestry. It is not to resemble a literal story of what it is; moreover, it is a quilt that explains my visual expression. What I find particularly interesting in human intervention in nature is how we are still intertwined with it. Roads, buildings, and farmlands bend with the natural curves of mountains, hills, and streams. City nights are lit up like lightning bugs with an array of colors and patterns. I want to push the viewer past the humdrum of everyday observation into a world of visual tapestry.

WHEELER

After years of study in anatomy, composition and two-dimensional design, he began the extensive study of past Masters. Over time Slade discovered his love for the minute details and the use of symbolism that realism and Trompe l’oeil styles offer. His work is often laced with allegory and contemporary references, narrated by the use of everyday objects and icons placed in near-surreal settings. He remains dedicated to the traditional approach and close observation that is required for the precise execution of his paintings.

ROLLER WILSON

Houston born and Fayetteville, Arkansas-based, Roller is a Gothic storyteller with the phenomenal technique and precision of an old master, animating his paintings with finely wrought clothed chimpanzees, dogs, and cats, wooden matches, dill pickles, asparagus stalks, olives, and cigarette butts. He creates characters like Cookie the Baby Orangutan, Jane the Pug Girl, Jack the Jack Russell “Terror,” Loretta the Actress Cat, Miss Dog America, and Patricia the Seeing Eye Dog of Houston. Each spring from the artist’s hyper-vivid imagination into lengthy caption fantasies and onto canvases that require an enormous amount of time to complete, all painted in vivid detail, reminiscent of the 16th century Dutch masters. His oil paintings are explicitly detailed, but unusual.
