    Description

    Timing is said to be the key to all critical actions. However, when it comes to dire matters of the heart, like when to marry someone, there seems to be no perfect timing as the nature of our affection tends to ebb and flow, if not now, over time.

    Given the weighty decision to live with someone for the rest of one's life, there is an understandable tendency to put things off for as long as possible. Yet much happiness can be lost by a failure to commit.

    "(N)ot a moment too soon, not a moment too late" is set in Onuma Quasi-National Park (Hokkaido) overlooking the volcano, Mt. Komagatake. The artist uses a photo from a recent visit and various compositional elements and techniques to suggest that ultimately we never know if we have made a good decision until we step into destiny, the stream, and alter the course of our fate and the fate of those we care about. Destiny, a stream, is what vitalizes life, our pond.

    The idea behind the work was sparked by seeing the empty white chairs left out on the lawn of a hotel grounds in front of this gorgeous, small lake for several days.

    The volcano erupting, the monster in the woods, the empty red chair and the absence of any wedding guests all point to a realization that a failure to act is even more consequential than taking action.

    Concept

    Graphic arts stands in the middle of photography, painting, and language. It borrows from all three, but what gifts does it give back? About cinema, Fellini suggested that if you are moved by a particular film, you don't need an explanation. And if you are not spellbound, no explanation can suffice.

    Skyler's approach to his work is mysterious in the same way. He draws from different painting traditions and uses his own photographs, acrylic, oil, pastels and digital painting to create an aesthetic experience with humor, wonder, and social commentary.

    The artist often creates digital paintings in the magic realism tradition to catch and sustain the viewer's attention. He intends each work to be crafted carefully and, hopefully, resonate on a semantic level. Moving pixels around the screen to combine digital art and painting, there is much to enjoy and ponder!

    A representative work is "Bellflower, Love Awaited," a graphic art composition with fine paint stroke detailing. The composition size is A3.

    Bellflowers are common all over the Northern Hemisphere. Accordingly, the flowers can be found in Japan, where the artist lives, but the flower is also widespread in Europe and North America.

    The flower usually has a symbolic association with gratitude, constancy, support, or romance. As such, Skyler uses the image as a motif to pay tribute to all those who hold on to their love, even when the loved one is far away in place or time.
