PROFESSIONAL ART CRITIQUES <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cTrent Altman does not re-enact \u2018The Embarkation for Cythera\u2019 by Jean-Antoine Watteau, but guides the viewer further through the Isle of gods, via his paintings. His style is based on the form of Watteau, in a combined style of impasto impressionism, synthetic cubism, and color contrast for energetic communication of focal points. The energy impact of all three styles as non objective art captured Oscar Wilde’s “Nature copying Art.” (Preface of Dorian Grey), and transfixes and comforts the viewers, through their language with nature, into an imaginative and innovative world of the gods by art.<\/p>\n Altman\u2019s work is strong on the physical texture of paint and objects by conforming them to his world. Indeed, a match, as well as, a new approach to the combined worlds of artists styles, like the impressionists : Monet\u2019s broken color, Pissarro\u2019s pattern of broken color, and Van Gogh\u2019s impasto. Altman\u2019s images are transformed into patterns of Cubism and High Analytical Cubism of Picasso and George Braque, translating the imaginative form of Watteau\u2019s metaphysical world. He has combined what many artists, in the past, used on a singular basis.<\/p>\n The viewer is taken on a tour, of a new metaphysical world, with the comfort of timelessness, and patterns from objects of nature, working together. It is a calm world transformed by metaphysical beauty and created by poets such as John Donne and George Herbert. Altman\u2019s aesthetics has join this group of visual and literary artists, on a strong plain on the Isle of Cythera, as your visual guide of human emotions, dancing to the universal rhythms of nature on another dimension.\u201d<\/p>\n ~ Yvonne Mikulencak, M.F.A and Retired Art History Professor<\/b><\/p>\n “Trent’s expressionistic style and career history have proven him to be not only a very credible but a well respected artist. In the style of abstract expressionism his paintings are quite captivating. In California, I found good garage door service on the https:\/\/dlouhygaragedoorrepair.com\/<\/a>, they were great at inspecting my garage and my issues. The texture is also captivating with his use of mixed media. I feel like I’m entering Trent’s soul each time I immerse myself in one of his works.”<\/p>\n Sonia Sugavau (Documentary Filmmaker)<\/b><\/p>\n “Trent Altman’s paintings are confident and original. Impressive work.”<\/p>\n Nicholas Treadwell (owner Treadwell Gallery, Aigen, Austria).<\/b><\/p>\n\n
