Howard
Behrens
For
the past 25 years, Howard Behrens, the world's most renowned
palette knife artist, has had a romance with the sun. From
the idyllic lakes of Italy to the intimate gardens of New England,
the artist has danced with her, chased her, seen her in her many
different moods. Behrens' motivation comes from his strong
passion to capture the "essence" of the places he visits
around the world. The artist has been influenced by Monet,
Van Gogh and Nicola Simbari, the Italian palette knift
artist. Behrens attempts to express his love for the radiance
of the sun's gifts - shadow, light, color and the subtle nuances
of these elements. Behrens is also a classicist in his
approach to composition so there is plenty of room for the eye to
rest and the imagination to wander, touring distant horizons
around the world taking in crystal coves, wispy palms, pink
villas, and stunning overlooks in the artist's paintings of these
exotic places.
