Wil Talk With Artists #63 Edmond Praybe

This digital discussion is with artist Edmond Praybe.
When painting landscapes, Edmond is interested in the tension between the concreteness of the motif, the land literally underfoot, and the ephemeral effects of light across the scene. The challenge is to reconcile these disparate aspects with solid compositions and a sensitivity to nuances of color, tone, and touch.
He is less interested in describing recognizable landmarks than he is in conveying a sense of being in a specific kind of light or in a certain space over a span of time. There is a more ‘in-the-body’ feeling about painting en plein air than there is with other motifs. You are in the same light, inhabiting the same world as the elements you are depicting, and that experience can not help but imprint itself into his work.
It’s a physical, messy process and the paintings are always changing and the results are unexpected and exciting.
