Randy's Biography
I started painting when I was around 14 and
excelled in the art classes I took. In high school I was enrolled in the AP Art
courses my school offered, attending two hours a day for two years (junior and
senior years). After high school graduation, I received scholarships to some of
the best art schools in the country. But instead of pursuing an art school, I
elected to join the Marine Corps. That is just the kind of guy I
am.
Randy's Artist StatementMy paintings are where my
definitive work is created. I use both oil and acrylic paints for my paintings
on stretched canvas.
I work with Indian ink for my drawings which can
exist as either monochromatic or brilliant prismatic colors.
Last, but
not least, I have been very involved lately with print-making. I create fine art
prints using a pen on a touch sensitive computer screen, and the art I create is
such that the end result looks unlike what a computer can create, but instead
possesses the visual appearance of the texture of thick impasto
paintings.
The themes of my artwork are as follows,
* The
daily rigor of the US Marines and military profiles (portraits)
*
Figurative nude woman in reclining poses
* A symbolic king who interacts
with the modern world
* The involvement with the wireless, unseen world
which is omnipresent in our modern lives (mobile phones and
computers)
Even though I have been working with a modern digital medium
for a large portion of my work lately, I remain a traditional artist in my
methodology.
