Plein Air Study

2020

About the Item

One of the emerging talents of abstract impressionism in the Southwest. "Plein Air Study" depicts the beautiful crisp light of the American Southwest. This painting has very thick texture and richly mixed color. It makes a very strong impression in person. "I am about the expression of the human spirit. That which makes is alive, makes is feel, makes us, each one of us, unique and loved for our individual perspectives and propensities. As I create, I celebrate the freedom of that condition which allows us to see our world and translate or world through the filter of our experience. My art speaks with a though truth of reality. My intent is to engage with the subject and to force upon it the full brunt of my personality, thereby creating a singular, identifiable experience where my subject and my vision become inseparable. In this space I am at home, I am at peace. My wish is to connect with you through the pure visual language of painting, the slap and dash of pigment on canvas, the layered and textured weave of color and the rhythm and dance of sunlight within a composition. I desire to share the breadth of my artistic vision and struggle with you so that you may come to know the beauty that surrounds you in a new light and a new truth. My desire is to conceive paintings that connect with you on a deep and intimate level so that the work becomes timeless, sought-after and cherished in your life. And my love is to offer my gifts and my practice with you and art enthusiasts like you, the world over, that you may benefit from the truthfulness and artistry within.

  • DARKEN
    By Doug Freed
    Located in Tulsa, OK
    Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Artist Statement For nearly twenty years, I made non-objective grid structured paintings. I started to see references to landscape in these works. I've literalized those references by painting oil landscape vistas of horizons, clouds and bodies of water. These paintings consist of two or more vertical panels. Usually one panel is landscape imagery. The adjacent panels are often atmospheric voids with vestiges of recognizable landscapes. I try to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. My intent is to create paintings imbued with a meditative, spiritual presence suggesting issues about time and ecology. I do this by softly modulating color, tone and value. The color varies from quiet, monochromatic works to fully orchestrated chromatic ones. By blending from one hue to another I create color which makes its self gradually felt, weeping forth. In this manner, I create illusions of mysterious emanations of light, places where ones eyes and spirit are invited to linger. I try to imbue my work with a monumental presence, epic in both size and scope. I do this by orchestrating the separate elements of color, texture and structure into a harmonious whole. I seek a somewhat reductive image rich in value and contrast. The surface of the work is devoid of textural incidence. I don’t want anything to distract from the illusion of depth so I deny any marks which would hold the viewer on the surface of the painting. In my luminescent multi- paneled oil paintings I try to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. The compositions are about ambiguities of form and void, foreground and background and surface and deep space. My roots lie in tonalism, color field painting and minimalism. However, my work contains an ever-present awareness of the dramatic use of light of the post-renaissance chiaroscurists. It combines a classical awareness of structure with a romantic use of color always in combination with a unique sense of ambiguity. My work continues in its evolution of style the search for an abstract means of probing the ambiguities of physical and spiritual experience of light, and its power to foster a more intense life of the spirit through profound emotional experience of form, color and composition.
