Landscape Paintings

Matt Chinian from 2015

My work is about being in one place at one time and looking at what I see. This process I engage in: the choosing of the scene, composing, and painting is straightforward enough. Indeed, I tell myself “just get out of the way” so that the processes of looking, mixing color, and putting it on the panel become second nature, without over thinking or self-consciousness. You’d think this meditative process would lead to a nirvana-like state, and it does, but it’s not pure. I’m constantly fighting with real world thoughts and concerns: most often I am muttering profanities under my breath in an attempt to control what’s going on: I can’t, and what you see here is what happened.
