Christopher Covlin Fine Art Oils and Mixed Media
|
 |
Daily Painting Series 2008
|
Hard-working and whimsical, Christopher and his work rely upon experimentation, reverence and dedication. Colvin is committed to realizing oils as a viable and sensual medium in a climate of digital obsession.
Narratives of often bleak and bizarre rendezvous in desolate expansive backdrops are revealed through many of layers of paint that juxtapose heavy textures alongside translucent glazes. Abstract blocks and circles denote space within the typically flat planes and strong horizon lines. Characters are held in anticipation of events about to unfold, events that promise to be as colorful and luminescent as the oils themselves.
“Painting for me proceeds much like a long and often confused conversation
in a room full of people. Sometimes, it’s just me and one character or person
in the room having a chat. At other times everyone in the room joins the
yammering in unison. This is how I see and approach the creative process.
I do not force my will upon the work…we, as painters are just there to turn
on the light….that’s all.”
Colvin’s paintings are in private collections internationally and he is the subject of the soon to be released feature length documentary based on his life and work, and that of prominent South African artist Michael Barry.
Colvin currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
