About the Item

Much of Bennett Vadnais’ subject matter comes from his surroundings in Manhattan and Brooklyn. With a strong background in plein air landscape painting, Vadnais finds an interesting relationship between static forms and the elusive qualities of light and the emotions they convey. Rather than trying to capture a specific moment in time, Vadnais’ paintings have a stillness that reveals the timeless character of place. He chooses not to work from digital imagery or photography, preferring to allow the image to be filtered through direct contact with the subject and through memory. He develops his relationship with the subject by doing numerous paintings and drawings on-site. Vadnais’ primary medium is acrylic. He creates his paintings with transparent layers of color, allowing him to infuse them with a natural sense of variety and complexity.

The Ruse
By Randall Mooers
Located in Fairfield, CT
My paintings begin with a serious sense of play, both in the staging and the creating of the compositions. It is at this beginning stage that I operate under the Dadaist dictate that “anything can be art”, and at the same time I seek out a balanced and harmonious composition by way of line, shape, and color. I work according to my whimsy, sometimes seeking to assert some form of narrative however personal or ambiguous, and other times I am simply satisfied with the hint of a human presence. Once I have my compositions the paintings then very quickly become about work, a very labor intensive work that forces me to focus my mind and slow things down (which I feel is relevant especially in this day and age of high-speed everything). A great amount of effort is spent on trying to get to the highest level of finish that is possible according to my current skill level. For inspiration I have drawn from the past four centuries of object specific paintings, from the ontbijtjes (laid tables) of the 17th Century Dutch masters such as Willem Kalf, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Abraham van Beijeren...
