Paul chester Art

Canadian, b. 1956
Paul Chester studied painting and sculpture in art academies in Toronto and Paris and graduated from OCAD University. With oil as his primary medium, Chester builds the surfaces of his canvases with many layers of paint and glazes. Lines are often scratched and carved into the paint, exposing the ground beneath. The luminosity that highlights the individual landscapes is the essential element that threads Chester's works together. His paintings are not individually derived from specific locations but are rather glimpses of memory. Chester notes, "the subjects of my oil paintings are restful places and retreats found in the natural landscape – country fields, flowers, forests, horizons, clouds and waterscapes. These impressions are painted from memory – they are my visual diaries; peaceful mementos celebrating beauty. I paint contemporary impressionist landscapes with mostly oil, building up the surfaces of canvas or wood panels with layers of paint and glazes using a combination of brush and painting knifes to achieve an overall luminosity. Painting for me is a poetic expression…a state of mind, rather than a photographic copy of nature".
