    Description

    The work is entitled "this land is my land" from one of Woody Guthrie's most famous songs. How many Americans feel that way today? Land not megabytes used to be the ground for what is real.

    Skyler imagines Woody Guthrie and Little Walter (who turned the lowly harmonica into an instrument of great artistic virtuosity) playing together in Okemah, Oklahoma. They stand in front of the abandoned house in which Guthrie was born. Guthrie's family left the house due to debts. In the background, there are also trees that seem either to be shriveling or bleeding. Guthrie knew the plight of the common man affects the fabric of a nation, while Little Walter made his own country on his mouth harp.

    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.
