Artist Statement:

I have been immersed in nature from a young age, it is who I am as a person and as a painter. All of Gods creations have provided an infinite amount of subjects and inspiration to work from.  It is what the viewers soul feels when looking at a painting that matters to me. The emotional response it creates, the story it tells is…

Painting for me, is learning. When I am passionate about a subject, I want to know as much about it as possible. By slowing down and observing, I am able to connect and learn not only about the subject, but about myself. Painting a landscape allows me, in my imagination, to walk the same land with all of the human life and creatures of the past. I am able to learn why a mountain is shaped the way it is or why a stream flows the way it does. Still life allows me to spend time reflecting on my experiences with the objects or with the people to whom they belonged. With the figure, I have the opportunity to paint the people who influence my life. I can ponder who they were in the past or who they may be in the future.

All of the subjects I paint allow me to understand and reflect on two very important aspects in my life; love and beauty. I feel very fortunate, by the Grace of God, to be able to appreciate and experience love and beauty. To me love and beauty come in many forms such as life, death, joy and sorrow. These are emotions we all experience at some point in our lives and is how we are able to see and understand the love and beauty within these experiences that matters.

I have never questioned my basic methods of traditional techniques in painting. Within this method, I allow myself the freedom to experiment with variation. Whether I use thin or thick paint, dull or bright colors, traditional Hudson River School or Tonalist techniques, my style varies, changes and evolves. I want to constantly challenge myself, cultivate, mature and learn more.

I have never personally considered myself an artist. Just a man who appreciates and shares the beauty that surrounds us all.

Thank you to Nicole, Meadow and Jackson, without you I am nothing.

Collaborative painting by Sean Witucki, John Brach and Thomas Kegler.

"Friends at Black Lake" 2020, oil on board, 8" x 13", $1500. 

 

It is an honor to call John Brach and Thomas Kegler my friends.  I have spent countless evenings sitting with them talking about everything from painting, hunting, fishing and our common devotion to our faith.  From every large show that I participate in, I choose a piece to donate the proceeds to a charity.  With this show, I decided to ask these gentlemen to participate in this collaborative painting so we could all choose a charity to give a portion to.  As they are always generous, they wanted to give all the proceeds to my charity, St. Josephs University Parish in Buffalo, NY.  I am choosing to donate to St. Josephs, my church, because in these troubling times, the church is in great need. 

The subject of the painting is a scene from Black Lake, NY.  From time to time the three of us find ourselves up there, throwing a line in the water together.  It is a place where we have bonded as friends. I feel this is a very unique opportunity for a collector to own a piece that has all three of our hands in it.  We all paint individually, but have never attempted this type of collaboration before.  I am humbled and honored to call Tom and John friends and thankful for all they have done to improve the man that I am.
