CONTEMPORARY REALIST ARTIST

Ralph Vogler
Atlanta, GA

Although influenced by the colors and style of the impressionists, I paint realistically whether it is a landscape, still life, portrait or figure. I try to enhance the awareness of color, contrast and transparency of shadows. My paintings are mostly oil. Often I use the alla prima technique, painting directly on the white surface. Other times, I start with a primed canvas. My goal is to provide the viewer with an image that conveys a message of beauty, humor, sadness or joy.
