Perry Thompson...
Henri Matisse once openly wished, "What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity, and serenity, devoid of troubling espressing subject matter...like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue."
Perry Thompson, Contemporary Master Artist, has realized this dream in his beatiful landscapes based on photographs of Southern Florida scenes.
Mr. Thompson's paintings dreamily reflect the beauty of the area which he chooses as the inspiration for his works; each artwork looks as if it is being viewed through the fantastically clear, fresh rippling waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Mr Thompson has inaugurated his particular style of painting as "emulsion painting", defining it as an attempt at capturing the beauty of all things interacting with each other, and the resulting colors, vibrancy, richness, and texture which exists as a result of these interactions. His softly formed landscapes show scenes of earthly relaxation, inviting the viewer to participate within the dreamily blurred lines of the scenes and transferring them to a parallel universe of sublime inactivity.
Mr Thompson expertly uses diluted, yet vibrant colors, blending them in a manner that only adds to the softness and gentle edges which are charactaristic of his works. By adding sharply vibrant colors through the use of pastel, Mr. Thompson creates a qualityof dynamism and unexpected energy within the calm, peaceful scenes. The sun , surf, sea, and palm trees of Perry Thompson's unrivaled artworks of seaside beauty entice and encourage entrancement.
Mr Thompson has exhibited throughout Southern Florida, New York City and hIs works are held in various personal collections throughout the United States.
"Tempism"...time infused with color & energy
