Biography:
|
Deborah Paris holds fast to the vision of the Hudson River School painters – that the American landscape is both sublime and divine.
Southwest Art Magazine, Artists to Watch, December 2004
I look for the extraordinary in the intimate, ordinary landscape–the moment when light and atmosphere create a bridge between outward movement and inner standstill, allowing a moment of reflection. A luminous glow, produced by using Renaissance techniques to apply veils of transparent color, is combined with a modern sensibility in design and color. I ask the viewer to look, and having looked, to linger.
Deborah Paris paints the intimate landscape, finding that less specificity of detail leads to a richness in sense of place. Her moody, tonal paintings reflect an intense, intuitive connection to the natural world and its rhythms. She has been featured in American Artist, Southwest Art and The Pastel Journal. In December 2004 she was named an Artist to Watch by Southwest Art Magazine. Her work has been shown at the Laguna Art Museum, the Albuquerque Museum of Art, and the Panhandle–Plains Museum. She is represented by Ernest Fuller Fine Art in Denver, Colorado, M Gallery of Fine Art in Sarasota, Florida, Loretta Goodwin Gallery, Birmingham, Alabama, Blackheath Gallery, London, England and Hildt Galleries in Chicago, Illinois.
In 2006 her work was featured in two new books, Landscapes of New Mexico (Fresco Fine Art Publications) and Plein Air New Mexico (Jack Richeson Art Publications).
