Randy Van Beek
Randy’s interests were always traditional realism. He studied and practiced the techniques of his favorite artists focusing on the eighteenth century Dutch and Austrian masters, and the nineteenth century American painters, particularly the Hudson River School Group. Using many of their glazing techniques of transparent layers of colors creates an illusion of depth as light travels through these layers instead of immediately reflecting off of an opaque surface. The influence of the masters is evident but his
work has evolved into a unique style truly his own. “I think
the creative mind is one of God’s most fascinating gifts. I see it as a
responsibility to explore and develop my gift, but mostly to share what
I have created.” |
Title: "Comanche
Village, Texas 1830's" |
Randy is concerned with the preservation of
natural areas on our planet and hopes his work will inspire others to
share in the responsibility of maintaining balance between
conservation, economic, and social needs. A portion of the proceeds
from Art Impressions West, Inc., goes toward organizations that
preserve and improve wildlife habitat.
