Jonn Einerssen's paintings are distinguished by a force and beauty which reflects the artist's own powerful vision and a philosophical, spiritual approach to his art.
"Skies,the prairies and the ocean all provide an unlimited scope for communicating what I feel." Einerssen says. "In these subjects, the power of nature rules."
The big skies are always dominant over Einerssen's other love, the prairies,providing a challenging diversion from seascapes.
"I see these natural elements as abstracts which cannot be controlled by man. Man can simply become a participant, adapting to their seasons and rhythms."
Jonn Einerssen works almost exclusively in oils, layering glazes to create a translucent and harmonious play of light and colour. While each painting is a bold, realistic interpretation, it begins with an impressionistic approach.
The artist blocks in a painting from a feeling, a process that may take form several hours to a day. He then works other block ins until the feelings subside, progressing to a technical approach which puts the" feeling" into an intense, recognizable form.
Remarkably, Einerssen, born in 1949, did not begin painting or even sketching until he was 21. Both privately and self-taught, he quickly became a flourishing, self-sustaining artist, capturing the attention of private and corporate collectors. He conducts workshops throughout the year, passing on this disciplined approach to aspiring artists while demonstrating his masterful style and technique. |
