Inside The Process Looking Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ascension<\/strong> is one of 22 paintings in the Deep<\/strong> series, 31 x 30 inches, 2003 – 09, acrylics.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anders has painted in relative seclusion for 40 years and few have seen his work in person.
\n Artfeats.com celebrates his accumulated body of work, over 3,000 paintings. Also showcased
\n here are Art Talk Talks Art<\/em> films featuring Anders and other artists’ creative process.
\n Creativity is a special place that all can enter, but few do.<\/p>\n

Process is the major commitment of Anders’ life. There is always something to contemplate,
\n envision, do and finish. He practices style and substance in disciplined solitude.
\n He travels a road that comes from within, driven by a need he need not understand
\n or justify. The paintings must speak for themselves. The question is, will they have
\n opportunities to be heard?<\/p>\n

Cosmic Tour Guide<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anders is a cosmic tour guide creating marks for others to decipher.
\n The many varied poetic readings of his paintings fascinate Anders. He is always
\n in agreement with the observer’s conceptual ownership. He leaves images,
\n and viewers give back dreams that tickle his funny bone. Why would he argue?<\/p>\n

At times viewers feel a need to approach his paintings and reach out as if their
\n fingers will sense where “there” is. Artists appreciate Anders’ unique techniques
\n and on several occasions have asked if they are seeing what they think they are seeing.
\n He assumes they are, and nods yes. He accepts the world. It is what it is.
\n Anders embraces the unknown. Not all questions need to be answered. In this spirit
\n Anders paintings grow. Subject, composition, color and mood evolve through subconscious
\n conversations embellished with experience gained over passing time. By analyzing photos
\n of works in progress, the process is further enhanced, and Anders discovers the next
\n course of action. This modus operandi allows each painting to become an animated
\n film of its own creation. Anders is a direct descendent of the cave painter and drummer,
\n a traveler on the third stone from the sun and a simple soul in a complex world,
\n but aren’t we all?<\/p>\n
