Adrian Gottlieb paints from life, preferring no photographic reference material or optical aids. He paints, through the eyes of one who understands the value of mastering technique as a means to communicating a universally understandable visual language -- one that attempts to transcend cultural and emotional barriers, helping to validate the eternal relevance of realism in art. |
Gottlieb stretches and prepares his own canvas grounds, hand-grinds his own pigments, prepares his own mediums and purifies his own oils, approaching every step of the process of creating a fine painting with pride in craftsmanship and a dedication to aesthetics, quality, and longevity.
