CHESSNEY SEVIER

 

I knew I was different in high school when we would travel to games in the school bus. Everyone else was focusing on the game and doing what high school kids do and I was gazing out the window at the landscape, seeing a thousand different paintings. Sometimes I see something and the compulsion to capture it on paper is overwhelming. I might relate the subject to a memory of when I was a child or where I grew up, to what I believe is real or more simply stated; to what is beautiful. It’s almost like beauty is painful and the only way to find resolve is to recreate it. I guess that way I can own it, experience it again on a deep emotional level and move on.

What is within a piece of art can be as important as the image as a whole. A single brush stroke can be spontaneous and bold or take the eye to depths beyond the surface of the painting.
