Larry Seiler has been painting since 1979. Over time, his approach has shifted from rendering fine detail to focusing on restraint, knowing what to leave out in order to let the essentials shine through. His work centers on the impact of light and the expressive power of a confident brushstroke.Influenced by painters such as Edgar Payne and Emile Gruppe, Seiler is drawn to the challenge of capturing atmosphere and movement with clarity and economy. He believes in the strength of each mark, holding to the idea that a brushstroke laid is a brushstroke stayed.
