BRINKERHOFF FINE ART

FRANK HYDER

 

  Artist Statement: Through my work I seek to engage the viewer in a sensory and visual dialogue. Nature and the dynamics of light are my subjects. The spiritual nature of man is my interest. The enigma of the moment, the wonder of scale and the ever present hope of redemption and transformation are my goals. I seek to create a metaphysical reality of intense light and shade where forms appear and dissolve, to dream with eyes open, to feel without touching and to feel touched by the very experience of seeing the painting. There is the suggestion of events and exotic places familiar at once and yet strangely unknown, as if they exist only in the deep memory of Carl Jungian archetypal experience. The image has a pulse and character which is often translated through its unusual use of materials. It seeks to become a powerful yet reassuring visionary experience
