About the Item

Image size: 12.75 x 17.75 inches. Frame size: 20 x 25 x 1.75 inches.
Stuart Shils is a contemporary American plein-air landscape painter. His works toe the line between formal abstraction and fidelity to the scene he observes.
Shils paints those weird pockets of the day when people and life seem to have momentarily and mysteriously gone elsewhere. His hushed, abandoned world may appear devoid of human life, but the emotional wake of its inhabitants is elegantly rendered and keenly felt. Although Shils’ work is not narrative, it is nevertheless rich in human feeling and tension, and this emotional vibrancy is what gives his paintings their powerful resonance and consequent beauty.
Shils paints quickly on paper, and the resulting tension between control and abandonment complements the emotional frisson in the images. It makes one happy to see – and feel – the artist letting go, responding, and that abandon is all the more exciting when it occurs alongside the precisely yet gorgeously rendered detail. One senses the artist’s race with the ever-shifting light and the simple, inexorable motion of the day waning.
Shils is a painter of specific moments, allowing him to revisit the same places repeatedly. Like people – and this is why some of these paintings seem more portrait than landscape – every place always changes if you look hard enough.
Stuart Shils looks hard enough, but there is as much ardor as observation in his gaze. He admits to being “overstimulated” by the landscape, and the resulting passion is visible (even palpable) in each of these works. He loves what he is making, and something gets added to the work by virtue of that love. Shils succeeds in not only allowing us to see a place but also to know how it felt—no: how it feels to be there.
Shils is the recipient of numerous grants, including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, and he studied at Drew University, Temple University, Philadelphia College of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
