Fine Art Biography

Source:- Google.com.pk
Trent Gudmundsen grew up on a small farm in rural Utah where he enjoyed plenty of free time between school and chores to simply watch the clouds, explore the fields behind his house, and also to record it all in his early paintings. This freedom allowed the young artist the time necessary to not only paint his surroundings, but to really appreciate the moments of "just being there". With little training to go on, Gudmundsen's paintings were raw and emotional, but showed great promise. The artist soon became acquainted with VaLoy Eaton, an award-winning landscape artist who guided Gudmundsen's passion and introduced him to the works of various master painters of the past: Sargent, Zorn, Sorolla, Levitan and others. After a brief stint in art school, Gudmundsen dropped out and forged ahead as a largely self-made artist.

Gudmundsen's depictions of people and landscapes may seem steeped in nostalgia, but actually symbolically reflect the artist's own life: one in which he strives to live simply and tries to make time for the important moments. Often using his own children and relatives as models in his paintings, Trent encourages and then captures authentic moments of quiet conversation or contemplation; people learning and teaching, talking and interacting, or simply enjoying a moment in thought in that fleeting time between work and play.

The artist's work has earned acclaim on a national level in numerous shows and publications, including two Oil Painters of America National Exhibitions with an "Award of Excellence" at each, and a full-length feature in Southwest Art. Trent and his wife and their children live in an agricultural valley near the Utah-Idaho border. When he's not painting, Trent can usually be found building something on the house or in the yard.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID OF GUDMUNDSEN'S WORK:
"Trent's signature pieces marry what he feels
with the realism in what he sees." --Rob Stern, Samarah Fine Art.

"Gudmundsen's paintings convey a sense of warmth using light and strong contrast. "...Although a young painter, his confident brush stroke is that of a much older and experienced painter."
--Steve Brennen, S.R. Brennen Galleries.

Illinois, in 1966 and received his formal training at the American Academy of Art. He went on to receive his B.F.A. degree from the Kansas City Art Institute. Born of Italian descent, Lorusso was exposed to art at an early age. Through several early trips to Italy, his parents introduced him to the works of the Italian Masters. Lorusso would look to these influences throughout his early artistic development and they are still evident in his work today.

While in school, Lorusso majored in watercolor and considers himself self-taught as an oil painter. He learned to paint by studying the works of master painters, often losing himself in the halls of the Chicago Art Institute during lunch hours, which frequently turned into afternoons of self-study.

Joseph Lorusso creates landscapes and figurative works. In painting these subjects, Lorusso has concentrated on honing his powers of observation, especially as it concerns to color, texture, form and composition. Lorusso’s paintings have been described as warm and dreamlike, places of restful escape with a sense of spirituality, and share timelessness with the works of other eras.

Joseph Lorusso, Oil Paintings
Discovering the works of the Impressionists, he gravitated towards the works of Manet and Vuillard. Lorusso searched for similar work of such emotion and soon became an avid student of painting, seeking out and immersing himself in the works of various artists. This path would ultimately lead him to the works of Sargent, Sorolla, Whistler and a whole army of lesser-known yet equally capable painters. Within this group of artists, Lorusso would find a sense of identity. In these masterful works, he saw the power to harness emotion and convey it with power and confidence, yet with delicacy and tasteful restraint. He also saw in these artists the ability to express the "essence” of an object with just a few carefully chosen brushstrokes, creating a visceral and intuitive state of painting.

Says Lorusso, "I believe truly great art serves as a trigger into something deeper within all of us". The mood and emotion conveyed in Lorusso’s paintings evokes a deep sense of beauty found in the quiet times of daily living. His people are mysterious, lonely, romantic and yet familiar, placed in settings we often see ourselves. Lorusso’s paintings have gained notoriety by their ability to connect with the viewer, resonating in a way that is intimate and personal.

While in school, Lorusso was recruited by Hallmark Cards, Inc. and from 1988 to 1999 served as an artist in their greeting card division. Lorusso has served as instructor of painting and drawing at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Scottsdale Artists School.

Lorusso’s work has been shown internationally and has won numerous awards and honors. He has been featured in American Artist magazine, Southwest Art, U.S. Art, Art & Antiques, The Artists Magazine, Art News, American Art Collector, International Artist and Art Talk magazines. Lorusso’s work is part of many private collections; he is represented by Meyer Gallery, Santa Fe, NM, Overland Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ, Howard Mandville Gallery, Kirkland, WA, Morris & Whiteside Gallery, Hilton Head, SC, and Galerie-du-Soleil, Naples, FL.
