Skip Ennis Fine Art, Sarasota, FL
Fine paintings and prints, oil on canvas, mixed media. Fantasy-tinged photo realistic imagery, yet with infusions of abstract expressionism, pop, and street art.
The "E M E R G E” series is my newest body of work for 2016.
I compose, addle, and stretch the boundaries of a visual.
I then paint in large format.... the size creates a major impact contribution.
Image, the piece's concept, always is what is important -as well as the nuances of painting. How skilled is the execution of the piece?
I pursue that which is most elusive- a sense of light- in all these works. Some are very painterly and loose, others focus on minute detail . These different pigmented mood shifts keep the style of Photo- Realism from
getting stale to too practiced.
If in the first impression you are startled- these works want you to go in, then come away feeling a strong bond with both the image and how
it came to be, then I have succeeded.
