PAINTED GROUND
"I choose subjects other people might overlook, and when I put it onto the square of the canvas, it becomes something else. It takes on a life of its' own." -Jared Sanders
The western landscape offers up a wealth of abstract elements to Sanders' eye. He pulls out these elements and plays with them. Structural, human-made influences take up a dialogue with the natural curves of the land. He likes to put the horizon line low in a painting so that the overall feel becomes calm and restful, yet not without a certain tension still being held in the composition.
Sanders considers himself a regionalist, and travels the winding roads of the west for his inspiration. His masterful handling of paint allows him to portray the subtle grace of a small Utah farmhouse at dawn, a vast Montana pasture in early spring, or a hundred year old Colorado barn. His skies are exquisite - luminous yet quietly potent. The artist's reverence for the everyday Contemporary West is clearly evident in his work.
Sanders art has appeared in publications including Western Art Collector, Western Art and Architecture and on the cover of Southwest Art Magazine. His 72 x 60 canvas, "Landmark" is in the permanent collection of the Whitney Gallery at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
