Marc Schimsky has a studio in Montrose, Pennsylvania, and has sent us this description of his work.
- “Much of the imagery in my work stems from my early experience as a printmaker.
-
- Within the past several of years, my work has become focused on rendering experience and the visual memory of that experience through oils and acrylics. As a result, my paintings, drawings and mixed media works feature an explosion of textures, graphic lines and color that conjure up a multitude of emotions.
-
- My mixed media works communicate issues of memory, identity and the experiences or reflections of the past. Recently, I’ve been trying to capture in my work that certain sense of a moment lost, of a season or an hour glimpsed, or of an encounter missed. I have always been a great admirer of the works of John Hultberg, Jack Shadbolt, Max Beckmann and the San Francisco Bay Area painters of the 1950s and 60s – Elmer Bischoff, David Park, Paul Wonner and Theo Brown. These artists have influenced my work in a profound and enduring way.”
-
