The Artist’s Eye
Beautiful paintings by artists who all share one common attribute.
In addition to great technique they are true to their own vision as artists.
You might have heard the observation that each artist’s work is a self portrait.
What? Really? A self portrait as in a physical likeness? Nope.
A portrait of who the artist is inside as a human being.
With their art production are they cautious and patient with careful planning,
a mental image already refined and visualized of the desired end result and
a thought through route to get there?
Or
Impulsive and bursting with energy to dive in and live on the edge?
A visual jazz soloist playing with opposite colour vibrations, tonal contrasts,
textures, line variety, contrasting size juxtapositions and all the other abstract
visual opportunities to explore and stumble over,
Or
The vast space that most of us inhabit, full of contradictions between these two extremes.
The artist’s eye is unique to each artist according to who each is in their essence.
The best artists are not only technically skilled, but in their preferred subject selection, and their focus on which visual elements to play up, they are true to their own innate vision, their Artist’s Eye.
Accompanying the paintings are comments and observations about the works.
Also, explanations of the painting process that make the observations more easily understood.
