Bill Teeple Artist Statement:
When I was young, I was naturally drawn to realistic oil painting. I particularly enjoyed landscape painting.
When I went to the university, I was exposed to the vast world of modern art created in the first half of the
20th century, and found myself in the middle of the contemporary art being created in what is now known
as the post-modern art world.
It would only be expected that I would need to embrace, absorb and integrate what I had been exposed to.
I, also, went deeply into the entirety of art history, going back as far as we can go. I have spent my life
recapitulating the grand narrative of art history. This experience has led to the art teacher and art curator
that I am today.
However, now, at this stage of my life I'm feeling a sense of freedom. I feel free to just enjoy the craft of
painting. And, what I have found is that I want to do realistic landscape painting in oils. I've come full circle
-- back to where I started, but loaded with six decades of knowledge and experience behind every stroke.
