“The Impressionists 2009”

What is an impressionist? It is an artist that concentrates on the general effect or essence rather than a specific form or structure. What is the essence of the place, is it the mood, history or the influence of pre-conceived ideas?

 It is the artists’ job to portray the key emotions experienced and create the composition that best represents the elusive substance, the mood and atmosphere of the moment.

Be captivated by these accomplished Impressionists.

 Ken Strong
“The great challenge and inspiration of art lies in its unpredictability”

Ken's works use the suggestion of detail in lieu of specific detail, the allusion being used to support the subject but not detract from the mood with over-complexity. 

Wolfgang Lämmle
“The sensation is the basis of the painting”

Wolfgang is known as the painter of the light because of his amazing ability to capture the soothing, warmth of light in contrast to calming shades in his paintings.

Herman Pekel
"It’s not what you paint, but how you paint it."

Herman’s masterful style and unusual paint application allows him to express complex subjects with minimal brushwork and detail, demonstrating the very best of contemporary impressionism.
