Ep. 98 - Brad Kunkle

Brad Kunkle w swych obrazach portretuje głównie kobiety na tle przyrody, stosując zgaszoną i ograniczoną kolorystykę łączoną z aplikacjami z metali szlachetnych sprawia, że obrazy mają nieco surrealistyczną aurę. Artysta na etapie kompozycji szkicuje w pierwszej kolejności zarys postaci. To co najistotniejsze, zadziwia tu ogromną biegłością warsztatową, kobiety spod jego pędzla są zmysłowo piękne i tajemnicze. Gdy sylwetka jest ukończona nakłada wokół postaci płatki ze srebra bądź złota, w zależności od potrzeb koncepcyjnych. Trudno jego obrazy nazwać hiperrealistycznymi, bo Kunkle łączy malarstwo stricte figuratywne z fantazyjnymi wykończeniami i ornamentami.

Transmutacja złota w sztukę. Alchemik wśród malarzy - Brad Kunkle

Brad Kunkle was raised in rural Pennsylvania and graduated from Kutztown University with a BFA in painting in 2001. Rather than continue his artistic pursuits in an academic environment, he became a house painter. That dubious, professional beginning however, taught him valuable lessons that became crucial to his later success. Having taught himself how to gild with precious metals for some of those residential projects, he later implemented those skills in his personal, fine art works. His debut, fine art exhibition in 2010 at Arcadia Contemporary in NYC sold out before the show's opening night and was followed by a second sold-out exhibition two years later. Since then he has exhibited his paintings in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, London, Miami, and his works can be found in private collections all over the world. His paintings have twice graced the cover of American Art Collector Magazine and have been published extensively online and in print in such highly read publications as Hi-Fructose, American Arts Quarterly, Lapham’s Quarterly, Juxtapoz and Fine Arts Connoisseur. Kunkle continues to be represented by Arcadia Contemporary in Los Angeles, where he had his debut, West Coast solo exhibition in November of 2016. More recently, Kunkle collaborated as an Art Director with the award-winning, special effects house, Imaginary Forces as his paintings became the foundation for the main title sequence of the Netflix original series, “Anne With An E.” He lives and works in New York's Hudson Valley. ​​​​​Topics Discussed In This Episode:  Reflecting on his 2016 show “Invisible” Muses Social media misconceptions “The Invisible Man” by H.G. Wells Technical elements behind his work Dreaming and lucid dreaming The benefits of listening to music while you work Meditation Intention in creation Elevating vs. entertaining  www.artistdecoded.com www.twitter.com/yoshinostudios
