HILLARY ANZIS-HOSTETLER PAINTING

MY PAINTING BLOG

MY WORK FOCUSES ON PORTRAYING LIGHT AND ATMOSPHERE IN THE CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE USING A VARIETY OF PAINTING MEDIA , SUCH AS OIL PAINT , WAX , ACRYLIC, AND OTHERS. I PAINT PERCEPTUAL IMAGES , WITH A MODERN TWIST. BY PLANNING THE COMPOSITION THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHIC CROPPING AND DIGITAL MANIPULATION , I TRY TO CREATE A MYSTERIOUS , AMBIGUOUS, VIEW TO THEN PAINT IN A CLASSICAL ,YET BLURRED SFUMATO METHOD . I WANT THE VIEWER TO PAUSE AND CONSIDER WHAT THEY BELIEVE THEY SEE, WHAT TRULY CAN BE SEEN, AND ALSO WHAT MAY BE HIDDEN IN THE VISUAL WORLD. OTHER ARTISTS I APPRECIATE INCLUDE: CONTEMPORARY UNSCHARF PAINTERS, GERHARDT RICHTER, THE AMERICAN TONALIST MOVEMENT, THE HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL , AND OTHER AMERICAN ARTISTS SUCH AS MILTON AVERY. MY CURRENT WORK EXPLORES THE INTERSECTION OF PAINTING , DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, MASS MEDIA, AND TECHNOLOGY .
