June Guest Artist Eric Shute

My work explores color relationships and gestural mark-making across two mediums. In abstract oils, I build layers through intuitive, bold brushwork that creates dynamic surfaces of pure color and form. My watercolor landscapes distill observed scenes into their essential elements, using the medium’s fluidity to capture light and atmosphere. 

Whether working abstractly or from observation, I’m interested in the emotional impact of color and the energy that comes from confident, direct mark making. Each medium offers different possibilities for expressing the same fundamental exploration of light , color and form.
