    Description

    The subject of this portrait probably has come to North American from another place and another time. Perhaps he has come from a Caribbean nation that has been moulded under the strong influence of British traditions and manners. If that is the case, the work is making use of a pun on the word "ties." A tie is both a traditional piece of man's clothing (like the vest he is wearing) and it also means a connection between two things. He is connected to the past and to another land as he seeks to live in a new place in stylish clothes that assert belonging.

    There is also a mystery posed by the image Skyler presents. What is the building in the background, and what is its connection to the man in the foreground? He looks straight at the viewer, but his face gives away nothing--not even a single emotion. Is the building his parents' house or a community center from the tiny island where he was born? Or perhaps it is a church or some other place that he has a connection with in his current life.

    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.
