William Hoey Art

American, 1930-1994

William Hoey was born in 1930 in Abilene, Texas. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in art from the University of Texas. Professor Hoey, considered a "magic realist" painter of the American Southwest, was well-known for his work in still life and portraiture. Hoey operated two galleries in Austin, the Carriage House Gallery and the SOHO Gallery, and taught at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, as well as in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas.

"Birch, " Oil Paint on Olive Board
By Bruno Surdo
Located in Chicago, IL
Chicago-based fine art painter Bruno A. Surdo is classically trained in drawing and oil painting in the tradition of Renaissance masters. With strong command of the human form, Surdo creates dynamic compositions of people and places that communicate a rich commentary on the world around him.

Applying his mastery of figurative realism to the natural world, he experiments with form and texture to uncover the intangible spirits of trees. Entitled “Birch,” this small-scale oil painting depicts a young birch sapling against an olive wood board. Restricting the composition to only a portion of the trunk, Surdo focuses on qualities that make the tree memorable - its narrow trunk...
