Dan Schultz Art

California-based artist Dan Schultz has chosen to build upon the historical tradition of representational fine art. With a background in commercial art, he has taken influence from many of the golden-age illustrators as well as from classical realism and impressionism. He believes that beauty is of great importance to the human soul and that God uses the beauty of his creation to communicate with humanity. "If art is a vehicle for this communication, then my role as an artist is truly humbling," says Schultz.

Schultz grew up in a small town in eastern New Mexico which provided little exposure to the world of art, galleries or museums. None of his family members or friends worked in the arts although his father's aptitude as an accomplished guitarist and woodcarver was certainly an influence. High school, after a family move to Colorado in 1988, brought the first real art instruction to Schultz and the opportunity to compete in a state-wide art competition. One of his drawings received the first place award his senior year and went on to bring him the same award at the national level. As a result, he decided to study commercial art and chose Pensacola Christian College in Florida. There he developed a strong foundation in the fundamentals of representational art through the program’s focus on illustration and graphic design. After graduating with honors, Schultz took a graphic design job in Colorado and painted portrait commissions in his spare time.

Two years later, Schultz discovered Cottonwood Art Academy in Colorado Springs and was soon invited to join the teaching faculty as their youngest instructor. The other instructors at Cottonwood were the first to inspire Schultz to pursue fine art and encouraged him to exhibit his work in shows and galleries while continuing his graphic design. In 2005, he began to paint full-time.

Schultz has received national recognition for his paintings of figures in the landscape, plein air landscape and portraiture. Southwest Art magazine featured his work in its September, 2004, "21 Under 31" article. He received the First Place award in the 10th Annual American Impressionist Society National Show and has also received awards from the Oil Painters of America, the California Art Club, the Art Renewal Center, the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters, the Portrait Society of America and Fine Art Connoisseur magazine.

With the help and support of his wife Sarah and sons Ian and Tobin, Schultz maintains a gallery and studio in downtown Ojai, California. He continues to explore the special connection that art can provide between the Creator of the universe, the beauty of our world and the human soul.

"Rio Degebe at Sunset (Alentejo, Portugal)" Oil Painting

By Ulrich Gleiter

Located in Denver, CO

Ulrich Gleiter's (EUR based) "Rio Degebe at Sunset (Alentejo, Portugal)" is an oil painting that depicts the textural hillside of a bright colors. Bio/Artist Statement: German-born artist Ulrich Gleiter (b. 1977) is noted for his landscapes. His style is sometimes reminiscent of German expressionism and the Russian impressionists. He first studied at the Dresden Academy of Arts and later at the Repin Academy in Saint Petersburg, Russia. His work has been recognized with awards in the USA and in Russia and been featured in books and magazines. "Ulrich Gleiter is a citizen of the world. Born in Saarbrücken, Germany, he pursued his undergraduate studies at Dresden’s Academy of Fine Arts, where he learned to paint with the bold, colorful strokes handed down from the early 20th-century German expressionists. Students there prioritized their individuality — no one but you could have made this picture, they were told. Gleiter then absorbed a different view of artistry during his exchange year at Moscow’s Surikov Institute, followed by six more years at the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg. Today Gleiter divides time between Germany, Russia, and the United States, where he has become much admired among plein-airists in such scenic places as Colorado, California, and Wyoming. In our era of diplomatic tensions, when Crimea and Russia appear regularly in the headlines, Gleiter feels a renewed appreciation for nature’s timelessness — for its inspiring capacity to rise above the ins-and-outs of man-made problems. Today, he says, “I often think about the history of an area where I am painting, about how many troubles and beautiful things may have happened there. Most importantly, I am humbled to observe how natural forces never stop moving.” Gleiter turns his searching eye not only to wilderness, but also to the banalities of urban life — to parked cars, the glinting sprawl of an automobile dealer’s lot, retail stores, and even cargo ships. There, too — as in his portraits, nudes, and still lifes — he manages to find abstracted beauty and emotional significance in the interactions of light, color, and air."
