Lichtwerking vangen door krachtige contrasten en schaduwwerking, de Amerikaanse schilder Kim English kan dat als geen ander. Een technisch zeer begaafd schilder, die enorm goed kan observeren en zijn beeld op doek vangen. De 'tegenlicht-randjes', warme kleuren en krachtige composities in zijn werken vallen daarbij op. Kim English werd in 1957 geboren in Omaha, Nebraska. Na zijn kunstopleiding werd hij kunstleraar in Denver en nog steeds geeft hij vaak workshops. Succesvol en bekend is hij: zijn werken vinden eenvoudig hun weg naar kopers en hij ontving meerdere onderscheidingen en prijzen. Kim schilderde daarbij niet alleen in the States, maar reisde ook door Europa. Er zijn zoveel krachtige werken van hem op internet te vinden, dat het me knap moeite kostte om hier een selectie te maken. Je vindt de 12 geselecteerde werken hierbij.

“Thoughts, silent thoughts, of Time and Space and Death…”
Eddie Bauer catalog cover, 1982 The career of famed illustrator Mark English can be divided into three phases. His first job was picking cotton in the fields around Hubbard Texas for $1.50 per day. There were no museums or art galleries in Hubbard, but one day English saw a picture on a sign in a store window saying "Welcome Rodeo Fans." He escaped the cotton fields by teaching himself to paint those signs and earned a living chasing rodeos around the Texas countryside. After being drafted into the Army he was able to put his experience to work lettering signs for latrines. In the second phase he became a nationally renowned illustrator who received more awards from the Society of Illustrators than any other illustrator. English's beautifully sensitive portrait of Dracula Victorian Interior In the third phase he became a fine artist, selling his artwork in galleries. Right now, some of you are probably saying, "Hey wait-- go back to that part about going from painting latrine signs to being a nationally renown artist. How the heck did he manage that?" Well, studying at the Art Center in Los Angeles after he got out of the army surely had something to do with it, but when he was asked about his "biggest break in becoming a nationally known illustrator, " he responded: [T]here was one job. I had moved to Connecticut and in my first year there I made 20% of the salary that i had made in my last year.... It was a tough year and I had a lot of time on my hands. I think not having much work enhanced my career more than anything else. I spent a lot of time experimenting, trying to come up with something unique and different, and I think toward the end of that year I managed to do that on a job for the Readers Digest [for the book, Little Women]....I think that three or four of the illustrations were accepted into the Society's annual exhibition that year. One of them won an award and got me a little attention. After that I got into magazines and my career was launched. English recalls that during that dry spell at the beginning, he went 8 months without getting a single assignment. His wife was worried and money became very tight but he didn't surrender. "I think [it was] the best thing that ever happened to me, but at the time I didn't think so." English studied Vuillard, Bonnard and other painters, and gradually developed a style that worked for him. "I don't think that I ever worked harder at anytime than I did during those eight months, trying to get better and be more competitive." That, friends, is how you go from painting latrine signs to becoming a nationally renown illustrator.

Intrigued by the simplicity of pen to paper, the artist captures through unrestricted and impulsive drawings, people, objects and spaces that inspire her.
Now that school is out, the next best place to read a book is at the beach, on a hammock, in the garden, or outside on a starry summer night. And here are the drawings and paintings to prove it.
A blog for all artists. My pastels, sketches, paintings, my thoughts about art, art techniques, materials and "lessons" for improvers.

This week I played hooky for a few days to sit in on lectures at the Illustration Academy in Sarasota, Florida. The Academy assembles some of the most talented and successful illustrators in the country to discuss their work and teach young artists in hands-on sessions. I had the pleasure of listening to presentations by Mark English: Sterling Hundley: Gary Kelley: Anita Kunz: and George Pratt: If you tried to single out some distinguishing characteristic that accounted for the success of these illustrators, it was certainly not the way they marketed their services. (They had very different techniques.) Nor did they work in a common style-- they used a wide variety of approaches. It was not the stage of their careers (their ages range from 33 to 76) or the medium they used (some painted with computers and some painted with roofing tar). It was not their geographic location (they came from all around the US and Canada) or their gender or their politics. Yet, this group repeatedly won top awards and received choice assignments from the premiere publications. So what did they all have in common? It seemed to me that they all shared a deep curiosity about images and the interplay of form and content. Each of these illustrators had the enthusiasm and energy to cast their net again and again for fresh inspiration, exploring new themes and media. This, more than any career roadmap or promotional strategy, seemed to be their common ingredient. Not one of them lapsed into using a repetitive formula. I was surprised at how much of their work was self-generated; one persuaded a symphony orchestra to team with him in an experimental show of projected images to accompany Gustav Holst's The Planets. Another went on a pilgrimage to the backwoods of the Mississippi delta to develop a project on the blues. Their broad intellectual curiosity added a richness to their illustrations that seemed to distinguish them from illustrators who took a more perfunctory approach. Finally, I would like to add one other observation about my experience at the Illustration Academy. I've spent enough time around the New York art gallery scene to develop an extreme distaste for the phony hocus pocus that often accompanies the creation and sale of art. Sure, I respect the mystery of the muse-- my skin has tingled at the feel of her breath on the back of my neck-- but I can't stand it when her mystery is exploited to inflate a price or glamorize a particular artist. Many artists and art galleries today operate like the high priests in ancient times who cloaked sacred activity within a mystic tabernacle to keep the uninitiated awestruck. The artists at the Academy, on the other hand, de-mystified everything they could legitimately de-mystify. They had a healthy respect for the role of the muse in creating art, but they did not expand her role for their own self-aggrandizement. Instead, they spoke in honest and functional terms about the genesis of ideas and the ways that art communicates. It was as clean a discussion of the making of art as I've heard in a long time, by people with a sincere interest in passing along helpful information to younger artists, and it reminded me why I like illustration so damn much.
