WILLIAM LOW The Heroic American Landscape Paintings
CAUMSETT BARN Oil on Linen 2021 40”w x 28”h
I paint in a contemporary style of realism that mixes classic observational painting with unexpected disruptions and challenges to one's sense of nostalgia. I'm trying to create a visual world that recalls the heroic American landscape, incorporating modern disorder, interrupted nature, fatigued structures and an awareness of personal isolation. My work sometimes invokes emotional responses from viewers because the imagery in my paintings seems familiar and I am committed to depicting the physical appearance of things in my paintings. The tension between abstract and representational art is actually a foundation at the start of my painting approach (I begin my paintings on a black ground). While the scenes are ultimately recognizable, I initially seek out shapes, forms and contrasting elements like warm and cool colors, simple and complex patterns, geometric and organic shapes to begin my paintings. The process is a contrast to the academic way I was trained. In the end, paint texture, surface and light are the primary things I am looking for once a painting is completed – and that is what I think many painters are seeking when they consider their own paintings, no matter what the content.
