RAYBURN, Dale - USA
Tis
series of monotypes represent a departure from Mr. Rayburn’s earlier figurative
works. They are characterized by a loose, plein-air feeling and showcase his
extraordinary brushwork and control of color. They are painted with water based
etching inks and each image is unique.
Rayburn’s figurative works focus on
individuals and although the artistic world inhabited by these individuals is
often portrayed as regional - as what many consider as "typically
southern," Rayburn's work transcends regional boundaries and stereotypes
in both its portrayal of universal human experiences and emotions. Furthermore,
Rayburn's emphasis on line quality, on the interplay of positive spaces, of the
characters he portrays - reflects the influence of such artists as Rembrandt,
Thomas Eakins, and Edward Hopper.
Born in Carriere, Mississippi,
in 1942, Dale Rayburn considers himself fortunate that he is able to make a
living doing what he loves most, yet he does not believe that he should
compromise his own artistic integrity by simply catering to the artistic whims
of the moment. It is the work itself - being true to whatever idea which he
wishes to portray - that is most important to him.
