Interested. Awake. Sharp.
Anyone choosing to make art the sole endeavor of their life must have those characteristics. An artist living on wits must fuse hard work with an ability to render form with precision, and do that with originality of approach, which requires intellectual engagement.
Albert Shivers’ paintings and illustrations reflect life with creativity; depicting subjects balanced between photorealism and a Rorschach test. The work also demonstrates an underlying element of darkness without being oppressive, inserting emotion into each piece with precision and heart.
