Artistic Style:
B Brent Atwater (b 1947- ) American.
Through the 80’s and 90’s B Brent
Atwater was a highly collected, exhibited, licensed, televised, and widely sold
American photo-realistic, and impressionistic artist. Today, Brent
blends her classical training with artistic spirituality. She
intuitively and clairvoyantly
narrates and documents life’s affects and effects on, and about her
subjects. Her brush strokes, painterly styles and color palettes are the
emotional
vocabulary of her subjects; broad and bold, sensitive and genteel, heartfelt
and nourishing, mischievous giggles and spontaneous or passionate and
intense.
Artist Statement
Brent has successfully licensed her artwork for
30+ years. She continues to spend her time traveling
the world seeking inspiration for her next series of paintings that embrace
varied and diverse subjects. Experiencing journeys for her heart and soul
nourish and create her spiritual and visionary work.
Brent's art compels your
emotions into an experience with her subject matter; sometimes beautiful or
fragile, at times
haunting or humorous with attitude, most
times healing, inspiring or
profound, and
always
thought provoking! Her award
winning paintings mirror the spirit and soul of her subjects, creating
intimacy, personal awareness, and palpable experiences within each viewer.
The vital and enticing energy of her paintings combined with evocative
coloration make
Brent's diversified styles highly sought
after by world class establishments and collectors around the
globe.
