When you view the original Paintings selected for this show at Nuance you will see new works along with some of the artists’ award winning peices. No doubt, both are natural talents but in the world of realism it takes many “years of hours” to gain the accuracy and refined skills needed to be a great Realist Painter. This genre is not for the painter who doesn’t have patience for detail ; realism of this nature demands an immersive relationship with the subject.
“Detail doesn’t make a great painting by it’s self” Neil said in an interview. “It take it all …composition use of color, drawing, light, negative space and for the detail I use brushes with one hair sometimes..I love the detail!”
It is the choice and treatment of the subject matter that defines Realism as a movement in painting.
“At the heart of realist is the truthful portrayal of typical objects, events and people. Realist paintings tend to resonate strongly with many people because of their honest depiction of life as it exists. Realism paints real life in all its flawed glory, treating familiar objects, everyday people, and ordinary events as worthy subjects of realism art.” http://www.starrabbott.com
