Bryan Kemila - Artist Statement Bryan Kemila ------------------------------ PENDING ------------- BIOGRAPHY Bio - Bryan Kemila - Oil painter - Vegetable gardener - Guitarist, drummer, early 60s band singer - Critical observer of current events, aka sifting for truth droppings in the litter box of propaganda. - And oh, yes, maintaining my flock of a dozen silly chickens. Nothing on the planet is quite so compelling as the woman. Re-creating the essence of feminine beauty brings me immense pleasure and satisfaction. Hundreds of happy practice hours have explored various artistic techniques and effects. I was born in the small prairie town of Dinsmore, Saskatchewan, in the middle of Canada. Winters of minus 40 F made morning farm chores potentially lethal for a little guy of five, hauling heavy water buckets for the cows. The sloshing water on my pant-legs quickly froze, as did I. Im proud to say I have merely a grade 10 education. Most knowledge useful to me over the years has accrued because I am self-taught.

Creativity, however, is like water...it will find its way around such obstructions, and bring the artist satisfaction and a clientele that appreciates what they create without regard for what's in fashion.
