Artist Statement for Kendall Kessler
|
|
|
In my artwork, I seek to celebrate life: the simple and spectacular images all around us. Art patrons admire my intense use of color and texture to enhance daily life and communicate my emotional reaction to beauty. I consider my style to be unique to me but I have been influenced by the work of Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pierre Bonnard and Jan Vermeer. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Radford University where I have taught for sixteen years. I primarily create large impasto oil paintings, but I also work in pastels. I have paintings in private collections in eleven different states. My art has been exhibited throughout the USA, and I have won local, national & international awards in both mediums, including awards from Dorothy Gillespie, May Stevens, Frank Webb, and Daniel Greene.
