    Description

    Skyler was inspired by an Egon Schiele painting of an old barn and created a piece of art in the antique style that celebrates the ridiculousness and power of a young boy's imagination.

    In the boy's bedroom, he imagines that his pet cow is with him. Below, there are knights and an American Indian, while hawks soar in the stormy sky above.

    The title of the piece, "(U)p too high," is a gentle joke. Are the birds flying too high? Will the imaginary cow, who is located in the upper story bedroom, be able to come down? Is the flimsy house that the boy lives in about to collapse? Are the boy's colorful daydreams necessary and valuable? Only the last question can be answered "yes."

    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.
