Details
So, ‘What does it mean?’ When it comes to my work, only the observer can know and then only for an instant. I want the surface to be the beginning of what you look at. What’s important is beneath, behind and under what you can see. The important thing isn’t what it means but what it makes you feel.
Today the visual artist no longer need rely on specific images to represent current directions and concepts. They can work from within, which is how I paint and how I hope my paintings are experienced.
Art By Beecher
My practice consists of Mixed Media Paintings and 3D artwork.
My first formal study of art began at The Chouinard Art Institute founded in 1921 in the Westlake district of Los Angeles. I quickly recognized that my art was being “directed” by my teachers in such as way that it was indefinable from that produced by the other students and graduates and I left.
Soon after I met Dick Brown, a student of Hans Hoffman who became my mentor and teacher. It was Dick Brown who introduced me to the idea of not thinking about what I was doing in the studio, but rather to let things flow and allow the painting to become art, rather than a study of line, color and composition.
MY last exhibition was in March 2025 in Hillsborough North Carolina
h.Art 2025 will mark my return to the UK after 10 year abroad
