Marc
Schimsky believes life is fleeting. People come and go.
Time passes quickly. Events occur in a heartbeat. Therefore, Marc
enjoys creating works that preserve experiences and depict the ephemeral
nature of life or the passage of time.
Marc works with an abundance of vibrant color and he generally keeps
the brushwork in his paintings loose and expressive. Borrowing qualities
found in photography, Marc often blurs parts of his figures and
frequently develops a pattern of overlapping shapes to convey a
sense of movement and action in his work. Marc's approach to color
is profoundly influenced by the Spanish artist, Manel Anoro, and
by the San Francisco Bay Area painters of the 1950s, 60s and 70s
whose sensual and authoritative brushwork integrated subject with
composition thus merging the human figure with the sensibilities
of the New York Expressionists.
