 John Fitzsimmons Online Art Listing My painting explores the space experienced as a "witness to a slice of life". I gravitate towards the random, the chaotic and the awkward in my painting and I make use of those unresolved tensions. I look for the drama in the quiet and the quiet in the drama, the layers and the light and the feeling that is "the sublime". I work with drawings, onsite painted studies, photographs and memory to construct my paintings. I take what could be considered a random glance of a tree, stream or a patch of ground, and explore its space and light. The negative space is no less important as an object. I am always aware of perspective, my eye level and the horizon, even though that may not be obvious in the tree paintings. Perspective is an aspect of perception and a formalistic element that can organize or confuse a picture plane and is a tool for defining my relationship to the original subject and the painted image. Giotto is the master of skillful but not slavish use of perspective to exert a subtle structure in a multifaceted painting. |
