FRANK KECSKÉS American
Frank Kecskés is a California based artist who is greatly influenced
by the works of James Fetherolf. His attention to detail and the ability
to make pieces that the viewer can "walk into" are hallmarks
of both artist's body of work. To the viewer these works seem to be more
than real. Perceiving details that even a photograph would not.
Frank Kecskés grew up in Los Angeles, and as a kid used to watch
his father paint landscapes at home on the weekends. He had always been
fascinated by his fathers artistic talents. More remarkable was the fact
that he was self taught. "It was amazing how much I picked up by
just watching him create beautiful landscapes".
Along with my father's influence, I was also inspired by the dramatic
and realistic work of James Fetherolf. In my work, I strive to capture
the moment and mood of the awesome beauty nature provides. The clouds
and shadows they throw on the countryside is particularly fascinating
to me.
My work is full of contrasts of all kinds. Light vs shadow,
warm colors vs cool colors, crisp and sharp detail vs wispy and atmospheric
clouds and sky. Being able to "walk into" a painting is my constant
goal. Nature is too grand to minimize!
My work has been collected over the years and is found in homes and
offices throughout the country. People have said my work has a realism
and is of high quality....I say to that, "Isn't nature even more
so? Why would I paint any other way?". Frank Kesckés
