ARTIST STATEMENT

​I am a painter and photographer. My mission is to present subjects in a new and interesting way, to entertain, and to bring attention to the beautiful things around us that we pass by and take for granted, every day.
 
I have been greatly influenced by Andy Warhol, Wassily Kandinsky and Jackson Pollock, to name a few.  Like Pollock, I use only latex paint, however, the latex paint of today is greatly improved over the paint that was produced in 1940’s and 50’s.  The colors are easier to work with, more vibrant, and they are longer lasting than the latex paint of long ago.
 
My subjects are frequently influenced by nature, especially the sun and the ocean, but not always. Sometimes people, and even architecture, find their way into my work.
 
After I choose a subject, or abstract idea, I set out all of the colors I want to include, then, I use an instrument like a paintbrush, pipe cleaner or wooden stick to dip into the color, then drip the paint onto a canvas that is lying flat on the ground or table.
 
Typically, the paint is dripped onto the canvas, but sometimes it is tossed or even thrown.  The paint is actually in motion when contacting the canvas, hence the term “motion painting”. This tends to contribute the impression of movement and/or energy to the work. 
 
Ordinarily, creating artistic painting is done with great precision, but this is not necessarily true with motion painting. Motion painting, in my opinion, allows a greater range and breadth of actual physical expression.
 
My work is unusual, and I really like that my art strays from the norm. I learn new techniques with each painting, and I love to experiment with colors. I enjoy producing paintings that create a mood, or especially, one that gives the observer a lot to view.
 
My greatest hope is that you are thoroughly entertained by what you see. Thank you so much for coming out to see my exhibit. Your presence means the world to me.
 
Sincerely, Philip Ledbetter                                                                                                                                                                                         Spring 2020
