24 x 36 framed oil painting by Kevin Cook, an accomplished landscape painter whose style is strongly influenced by Hudson River School artists of the nineteenth century. He has been named a Painting Fellow by New York Foundation for the Arts, and subsequently served on NYFA's Artists' Advisory Committee.
A statement from the artist:
I believe landscape painting to be a vital and integral expression in the contemporary art scene. It is inspired by the past, yet defined by present environmental realities.
Essentially a realist, I incorporate strong undercurrents of romanticism into my work. In the romantic tradition, I seek to give my landscapes deep emotional meaning, manipulating them into emotional dream worlds through subdued brushwork and diffused light.
Although my subjects are largely familiar local scenes, they serve merely as a framework or vehicle for expressing the spiritual truths I seek. The works are largely unpopulated, quiet, still, emphasizing an inner peace or the spirit of each place. Aspects of the work indicate inspiration, eternal life, the passage of time, and the process of nature.
