Deep Purple Print

Early in 2011 Christopher Hourigan began his transition into fine art painting. The artist creates paintings in deep and vibrant tones the alchemy of light shines through in each piece of work and reveals an array of contrasting dark to light structural elements to each picture. The statement of each painting takes the form of depth of light enabled by his use of oil as he brushes wet-on-wet passages over each background and forground the result a blend and physical depth to each piece. When I paint I am looking for ways to represent my experiences with the landscape. My intention is to find visual equivalents creating textured paintings in deep contrasting tones.
