Creating Artwork with the World Around Us In Mind

These artists all approach the natural world as a series of abstract moments. David Skillicorn’s paintings breathe with earthy textures and grounding tones, evoking a quiet reverence for the world of natue. Adams, more concerned with the expansiveness of space, creates works that gesture toward the horizon while denying a fixed point of view. Claps, with his lively, energetic mixed media nature based works are gilded and made sacred. Spock, whose mixed media layered collages recall fleeting memories of nature and the west, both push the boundaries of what it means to abstract real life. Together, all of these creators offer a rich and nuanced vision of natural abstraction.
