James Gaar - Artist Statement
Artistically, I've enjoyed the best of both worlds, photorealism and abstract expressionism. Since my college days, I've been a devotee of Andrew Wyeth and Franz Kline. To me, these two artists represent the opposite ends of the visual arts spectrum. One achieved the pinnacle of representational art, and the other embodied gestural expression in paint. I've enjoyed exploring these two styles all of my life. This, combined with a wide range of subject matter over the years, has been a joyful exploration of art, which continues today.
