Zach Hixson
I am a self taught artist and because of this I feel my guard is down and I leave myself open to see, to learn and to feel. When I paint without reference, I lose my comparisons and not having limits or guide lines is a beautiful yet vulnerable experience. I want to simplify painting for myself and for the viewer. My main emphasis is on color, leaving the focus of the viewer to be more “feeling” based. Although, I do provide enough subject to enable the viewer to have something to relate to. My technique employs layers upon layers that I mix with glazes to build each piece. My skies are like a skin that can be peeled away and that is why they are every color and no specific color at the same time. |
