The Language of Form: 25 Years of Painting the Figure

 

 

Through a shared passion for the figure as a form of artistic expression, the three of us met working from live models roughly 25 years ago.  We have since consistently met together either in the confines of our own individual spaces, or those of other organized groups, to develop our skills in the art of figurative representation and of speaking in the language of form.

Although our styles and emphases may differ, it is this focus on the human form, one of infinite variability, and yet also, a graceful orderliness and beauty, that inspires and connects us with one another.   We hope that our depictions of the figure suggest a broader sense of connectivity between us all, as well as our reverence for what we consider timeless, universal, and divine.
