Artist Statement for Arthur Bell
|
|
|
I admire the eccentric artists of the 19th century, like Albert Pinkham Ryder and William Blake as well as many who were untrained and painted primitively. I’m drawn to the way light was beautifully expressed in paintings by Romantics like Eugene Delacroix and Goya.
Wordplay interests me and I can see humor in life along with the absurd. I can’t help but include some of that in my paintings. Since having a stroke, I moved to Laguna Honda Hospital and have been telling friends this address sounds like a car dealership (which I hope would not be held against me by Saab specialists) . Like Simon on the Monty Python BBC series, “I like to draw pitchers”. I’ve reread Jules Verne again, more recently, “The Sphinx of the Ice Fields: A Sequel to Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” after which I made a painting in 1977.
