Caribee Club Artist: Gerald Obregon

June 1, 2018 | 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm

“I enjoy the process of painting. Each piece I paint is a visual problem to solve. Sometimes the problem is color. Sometimes the problem is value. Sometimes the problem is using just the right touch on the brush to apply the paint onto the canvas. With each piece I complete, I find the answer is a small piece of a large puzzle that will never be solved.

I am fascinated by the work of the Impressionists and how they worked with colors applied in a fast and loose manner. The simplest stroke of a paintbrush on canvas can convey so much with so little; be it a landscape, still life, or portrait. For the last few years I have been producing more landscapes than portraits or still life paintings. At first I kept to traditional subjects with greenery and bodies of water, but I have since expanded my choices to include the glass, metal and concrete you would find in more urban settings. In each case, I try to capture the play of light and color on forms.”

His work will be on display from Jun. 1st – Jul. 31st
