Smith-Killian Fine Art in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Kim English
Smith-Killian Fine Art in Charleston,
SC, is proud to be hosting a solo exhibition entitled, New
Work in Oil, by internationally famed artist, Kim English
from May 16 - June 1, 2003.
English is considered
one of the finest and most recognized contemporary painters. His
subject matter ranges from intimate genre to
European cityscapes. He draws inspiration from his extensive traveling.
Each year English holds four to five workshops in both the United
States and in Europe teaching the ideas of quick direct painting.
In his own work, he maintains a feel of spontaneity by working
quickly and by completing each painting in one sitting. He says
of his alla prima method, "Immediacy is important. Not only
because it is often the nature of people, but for me it is the
most instinctive way to paint." He also adds, "Through
my work, I want to make people aware that everyday life is interesting
and meaningful, that there is beauty all around them."
Raised in a rural community near Colorado Springs, CO, he received his degree from the Rocky Mountain School of Art where he later became a faculty member. He has been the recipient of many awards including the Artists of America's Gold Medal of Honor, The William Meyerowitz Memorial Award for an American Scene, and the Salmagundi Club's Joseph Hartley Memorial Award.
