Over ‘Steve Hanks One Step At A Time Schilderij’ van Paul Meijering

Realistisch portret in acryl van de amerikaanse kunstschilder Steve Hanks met zijn schilderij "One Step At A Time", geschilderd door de kunstenaar Paul Meijering - het originele schilderij is 90 x 120 cm en beschikbaar voor de verkoop.

Steve Hanks (1949-2015) is recognized as one of the best watercolor artists today. The detail, color and realism of Steve Hanks' paintings are unheard of in this difficult medium. A softly worn patterned quilt, the play of light on the thin veil of surf on sand, or the delicate expression of a child Steve Hanks captures these patterns of life better than anyone.

Steve Hanks was born into a military family in San Diego in 1949. His father was a highly decorated WWII Navy flyer. Hanks grew up playing tennis and surfing along the beaches of Southern California. “The ocean made a strong and lasting impression on me. It was good for the soul to be out in the water surfing, swimming, or simply getting in touch with its mysterious power.”

The family was transferred to New Mexico when Steve was a junior. After high school he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in San Francisco, earning excellent marks in commercial art and figure drawing. He transferred to the California College of Arts and Crafts, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

Steve Hanks took a job as a caretaker at a Campfire Girl’s camp near Cuba, New Mexico in 1976. The pay was minimal, but the rent was free, and all during the winter months his time was his own. For the next four and a half years Hanks experimented with many media: oils, watercolor, pencil, acrylics. “If I hadn’t spent so much time perfecting my drawing skills,” he comments, “I would not be the painter I am today.” His first romantic piece, “Daisies and Lace”, was a harbinger of his developing style, it featured a lacy dress and a serene sunlit setting.

Hanks calls his style ‘emotional realism’. He often leaves the faces of his figures obscured or turned away, not only to leave the face to the imagination of the viewer but also to allow the entire figure to express the emotion. Backlighting is also a signature element of his style. “Sunlight has become one of my favorite subjects. I’m fascinated by how it filters through things, how it floods a whole room with color. Often my paintings are

De realistische werken van Paul Meijering

Vol passie de sterren van de hemel

De stijl die Paul Meijering voor zijn schilderijen hanteert is (bijna fotografisch) realistisch. Zijn werken zijn dan ook gebaseerd op foto's. De kunstenaar streeft er naar om een treffende gelijkenis te creëren met de (in vele gevallen beroemde) geportretteerde. Uiteraard werkt Paul Meijering eveneens in opdracht en kunt u elk gewenst persoon, huisdier, auto of wat u dierbaar is laten vastleggen in een schilderij.
