Artist Statement for William Chill
|
|
|
Having traveled widely and always hungry for new experiences, my paintings serve as reminders of all that is good about life's encounters. When you walk into a good restaurant with ambience, the evening's experience is forever etched into your memory as a special event. I think it's important for paintings to have ambience.
As I explored the different paths of paintings over the years - from realism to abstraction, I deepened my acquaintance with the paint and its properties. The relationship between paint and the artist as it is applied to the canvas yields the physical evidence of each owns complexities. The plastic qualities of paint and the physical and emotional state of the artist leads to infinite possibilities.
From cafes in Barcelona, to wine-tasting in France, to a jazz club in Cleveland, my art attempts to communicate the essence and feel of experience. Evoking emotions through the manipulation of color, contours, and textures is the wonderful power of painting.
Imagination released through the canvas takes one beyond the physical limits of the medium. As I recall the sights, sounds, and smells of all that I have seen, the essence of those times and places flows from the brush onto the painting. The paintings that evolve are products of experience. If the paintings are real, then the experience was real. The paintings are evidence.
