The Southwest School Of Art In San Antonio, Texas explores Modern Art

Nov. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- In an era where there are a multitude of media for expressing art, the traditional skill of hand-painted oil on canvas paintings, can be a lost art, no pun intended.

Four particular painters, who do beautiful canvas oil paintings, were displayed prominently. Their canvas artwork is inspirational and interesting, with a lot of different images, to alter our perception, and cause the viewer to pause and attempt to process what they are seeing.

One of the artists does canvas paintings where she concentrates on the way digital devices have altered the world, or more correctly, the way people perceive the world. She takes photos of various industrial settings and then manipulates the images from the photos and their colors, and then puts it into a beautiful piece of canvas artwork. She takes basically ordinary urban settings and then puts vivid color into them, and makes common events seem very interesting and slightly bizarre, which is eye catching.

Another artist creates abstract forms and tiny worlds that appear to move and change, as if the images are deconstructing and reforming. These artists who specialize in all types of canvas artwork that is as varied as people can be, are really trying to capture people’s attention in various ways.

Yet another artist doing beautiful canvas artwork is creating complicated patterns showing the natural world, and this artist is drawing from her vast travel experiences. She is creating canvas artwork that is smooth and subtle and  her own unique style of hand-painted oil on canvas paintings.

Another one of the artists, is making both paintings and sculptures that are combined, in a hybrid style creates abstract expressions of canvas paintings. He is creating bends of lines to make illusions of depth in his canvas artwork, that get you to look and not be interested in anything other than the canvas paintings in front of you, taking you to another place, and getting you to imagine beyond your current reality.

Whatever your personal style and whoever your favorite artist may be, everyone will agree that we can appreciate this beautiful art.
