DESCRIPTION:
|
Quaint houses stand along the harbor, chimneys and peaked roofs casting pastel mirror images on the calm blue sea. Sailboats at anchor add a bold geometry to the foreground while a schooner gracefully plys deeper waters. To the charm of the setting, contemporary artist Leonard Mizerek adds the golden warmth of a sunset sky, his graceful hand and rich, buttery pigments beautifully conveying sunset's warm glow.
Mizerek, known for his seascapes, embodies the bold use of color, luminosity and expressive brushwork. He paints on site in coastal locations throughout New England and Europe. "Bringing light into my work has been my current focus. I enjoy discovering the hidden colors in nature. Light alters the color of objects. It sets a mood and evokes emotion, which I strive to portray in my work. I prefer maritime subjects because I enjoy the way water reflects, mirrors and intensifies the light."
Mizerek is a signature member of several national art organizations; is a distinguished Fellow in The American Society of Marine Artists and a Member of the prestigious Guild of Boston Artists. He has exhibited at numerous museums including the National Academy of Design, Mystic Seaport Museum The Delaware Art Museum, The Frye Museum, Newport Museum of Art, and Maine Maritime Museum. His works have been featured in numerous books and publications.
