Every now and then an artist comes along
who reminds me why I like painting so much. David Wells Roth is such
an artist. He has the rare ability to choose just those features
from the raw materiel of his subjects that result in compelling and
absorbing images. Especially noteworthy is Roth's skill in
manipulating light. He not only uses it to bathe the subject's forms
with a unifying illumination, he creates a time of day and even a
mood, often melancholy, that we who have lived and wandered the
streets of big cities, know well. Roth's paintings reveal a savvy
and caring mind at work; they are so well drawn, composed, and felt.
In the best of his paintings (and they are many) I find those
qualities we associate with serious mastery. Remarks by the Painter, Author and Teacher Nathan Goldstein NA, |
