Artists Describing Their Art:
Stephane Laurent - Steph'L first paintings where made of classical landscapes of Provence in France where he travels frequently. He was motivated by a taste for light and colour to evoke the scenery of the region. His strong background as an Art historian and scholar made his works evolving closer to the field of art history and especially to the baroque in which he found a special interest for the sense of movement, contrast and drama. The reference to classical composition and to the great themes in art are combined with a vivid expression, which is to be related to contemporary painting. The third period in the evolution of his artworks is based on an aesthetical reflexion on the heritage of the classical icons. The compositions are more conceived by sequences and frames together with an amused expression of the concepts of monumentally, gravity and interpretation. Finally, his current location in the Middle East have inspired him a new serial, which reshapes the famous 19th-20th century Orientalist painting trend through his distinctive style....

Keith Wilson - Keith Wilson's Architectural paintings are icons dedicated to an architecture that is no longer conceived or constructed. They represent his continuous study of architectural form. In his work he uses building structures and details in playful juxtaposition, allowing classical elements and vernacular constructions to have their own way, proliferating variations. His color is similarly the product of memory and imagination, inspired by the painted buildings he has seen in Italy and Greece. The result of this graphic exploration is a body of several hundred paintings and drawings, in which knowledge of historic form, fantasies of buildings that might be, and studies for commissioned works are all intermixed. Recently he has been painting landscapes of inspired by the hills that are adjacent to the UC Berkeley campus. The original paintings are painted with Chinese brushes using sumi ink and watercolor mixed with black water. The artist is offering signed limited edition prints of the paintings from his private collection. The printing method employed has a very high resolution which reproduces the brilliance and transparent qualities of the original watercolor paintings using permanent, archival ink on 100% rag watercolor paper. Keith Wilson was born in 1954 in Redding, California and has ...
