A new artist at THE LOFT! LEE NIXONjoins us hanging at THE LOFT with his gorgeous oils, and thick impasto palette knife techniques!
The Loft is a working artist studio that has expanded into a gallery representing 20 artists, exhibiting paintings, photography, metal sculpture, jewelry, mosaics, pottery, greeting cards, and more.
The Depiction of light, devised through vibrant colors is the essence of my work! And, being outside brings joy to my soul. It engages all of the senses; touch, smell, taste, and sight.
Now, I am in my studio. Splashes of colorful washes are applied to a blank canvas. My palette is loaded with bright complementary colors. The sense of touch is enlightened through the application of modeling paste, tissue paper, or found objects, natural or man-made.
As a Contemporary Impressionist artist, I experiment with light through the usage of structural impasto acrylics. Creating beauty is a passionate enjoyment for me, especially after receiving comments such as; 'Your work brought peace to my heart', 'I felt joy seeing the paradisaic scenes!' The Bible provides me with the greatest inspiration and influence in what I paint.
Meanwhile, I try to maintain a positive attitude and show empathy toward others I will continue to explore and create 'PAINTINGS OF PARADISE'.
