Rob Schouten Gallery
presents Alfred Currier – new paintings
Opening Reception Saturday, October 3rd from 5:00 to 7:00pm (during Langley’s First Saturday Art Walk)
Alfred Currier paints vibrant landscapes in oil impasto from his studio in Anacortes. Plein air painting provides the foundation and inspiration for most of his works. He often portrays the migrant workers in the fields of the Skagit Valley as part of his motif.
Currier states:
”For me, art has been an obsession as well as a passion. Passion would be for the love of it. Obsession means you have no choice. My work takes on two different faces, plein air and impasto. The plein air aspect keeps my technical painting skills freshly honed giving me the tools in my tool box. Impasto studio painting, on the other hand, is my more creative side as it allows me to explore texture and color from imagination. My impasto oils have afforded me my own voice in this world of art. Plein air is controlled by the subject in front of me while my impasto is controlled by the muse with-in.”
Currier has traveled widely, painting on location in Greece, France, Italy, Holland, Argentina, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, as well as the continental United States.
