    Description

    "(H)ouses, walls thick and thin" presents a vibrant palette and complex layering inviting viewers to reflect on the nuanced interplay between security, vulnerability, diversity, and unity through different scenes within an urban settings. For example, a close inspection will reveal a married couple and the other woman; two small children and their mother; and several lonely or angry people staring at each other or looking afar.

    The abstract expressionistic work primarily explores three central themes:

    1. Urban Density and Diversity
    The artwork depicts a bustling, crowded urban landscape, featuring an array of houses in different shapes and sizes. The vibrant colors evoke a sense of diversity and dynamism, symbolizing the varied experiences within the city. The composition's tension is heightened by the dense, overlapping elements that seem to press against one another, emphasizing the crowded and competitive nature of urban life.

    2. Security and Vulnerability
    The contrast of thick and thin walls symbolizes the fluctuating degrees of security and vulnerability in personal and communal spaces. This is further highlighted by the juxtaposition of dark, muted colors with bright, vivid ones, creating a visual metaphor for areas of stability versus instability within the urban environment.

    3. Universal Condition
    As the varying colors blend along the artwork's outer edges, they suggest that despite profound differences in lifestyle and sensibility, ultimately there exists an underlying unity. This fusion of colors asserts a shared fundamental human experience, illustrating how the lives of individuals collectively form the city's tone and texture.

    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.
