Signed and numbered lithograph print by Brett Varney of an inlet and coast in Washington State. This piece is entitled "Buoy # 1" and is numbered #15 of 150. This print has been nicely framed, with double matting and is under plexiglas. Vivid colors and strokes in the style of Van Gogh. ABOUT THE ARTIST My inspiration is born from the works by Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky and others. I am fascinated by the ability of intense color and texture of line to convey an emotional expression from the artist to the viewer. I create images that are recognizable to welcome the viewer into the scene. By using pure color, freedom of line, and simplicity of shapes, I try to instill in the viewer, feelings of joy and well being which are within us all, but often needs coaxing. I draw because it makes me feel good and energized, and I want the viewer to experience that same energy that inspires me to create. The use of black paper in my work is a neutral player in my drawings, being the “absence of colour”, and does not interfere with the psychological effect of my colour palette. My use of black outlines around the shapes are deliberate and necessary and intend only to define and intensify the emotion of my work. My imagery is taken from my surroundings but I am not afraid to create images and places from my mind’s eye – places to escape from the real landscape, temporarily.
