About the Item

Botanical subjects are my primary inspiration. I find immense joy in capturing the colors and textures of nature through still-life settings. Exhibiting them at the George Billis Gallery. Over the past nine years, I have explored the fascinating medium of egg tempera, which allows for exceptional precision and luminosity in my paintings. While I spent many years working with watercolor and gouache, transitioning to egg tempera has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The challenges arise from the need for multiple intricate layers of paint, which must be applied to achieve the desired luminosity and form. The beautiful effects that can be achieved with this medium are what I strive for in each piece, making the time and effort worthwhile. I draw inspiration from the classical works of Renaissance painters, as well as contemporary egg tempera artists like Eliot Hodgkin, Robert Vickery, and Andrew Wyeth. Each new painting offers an opportunity to explore details, nuances, and contrasts of light within the composition and to recreate the ephemeral beauty of nature.

Desire II

Desire II

By Randall Mooers

Located in Fairfield, CT

My paintings begin with a serious sense of play, both in the staging and the creating of the compositions. It is at this beginning stage that I operate under the Dadaist dictate that “anything can be art”, and at the same time I seek out a balanced and harmonious composition by way of line, shape, and color. I work according to my whimsy, sometimes seeking to assert some form of narrative however personal or ambiguous, and other times I am simply satisfied with the hint of a human presence. Once I have my compositions the paintings then very quickly become about work, a very labor intensive work that forces me to focus my mind and slow things down (which I feel is relevant especially in this day and age of high-speed everything). A great amount of effort is spent on trying to get to the highest level of finish that is possible according to my current skill level. For inspiration I have drawn from the past four centuries of object specific paintings, from the ontbijtjes (laid tables) of the 17th Century Dutch masters such as Willem Kalf...
