The
Outsiders are seven plein-air painters who paint to be "out" in
the world, to feel the energy of nature. They merge paint and canvas with
brushstrokes, capturing light and mood. They create paintings full of rich, luscious
colors, generous layering paint and capturing vibrant, often
dramatic values.
Their
name also represents their distinctly different style among more
traditional landscape painters. Their bold use of color and loose fauvist
style is inspired by early colorists such as the Society of Six,
the Bay Area Figurative School and others who followed. While each
in turn has established his or herself as an outstanding artist with individual
followings and collectors, as a group they are gaining national
recognition, including 3 museum shows in 2005 and articles in Southwest Art and
Plein Air Magazine.
The
William Lester Gallery is proud to represent several of these exciting
artists.
