Richard Kersting: Artist’s Statement

Although I received an abstract expressionist training, from which I benefited greatly, I have always taken my inspiration from Northern European art of the 15th-17th centuries because I see that region and the Niagara frontier as similar in feeling. Buffalo’s East Side in which I grew up was populated by people who easily could have been taken out of works by Brueghel or Durer. Modern surrealism and symbolic realism are also major influences in my work but these also historically derive directly from Northern Renaissance Art. Technically I am a firm believer in the art training espoused by the Academie des Beaux Arts with its emphasis on drawing and realism. -Richard Kersting

Fran Noonan

Fran Noonan, born in 1954, has lived in Buffalo, NY all his life. As the seventh of eight children, Fran was inspired by the Van Gogh exhibit at the Albright Knox Art Gallery. His mother immediately bought him an oil painting set and he continued to paint through his high school years. Fran also enjoyed classical piano lessons, and today is a member of the Chromatic Connection, performing regularly at various recitals. At age forty-nine, with his family raised, Fran returned to oil painting. It was with some regret that this renewed interest came after the death of his uncle, John Quinn, a member and past president of the Buffalo Society of Artists, who had urged him to paint again. With the memory of John's encouragement and the inheritance of his art supplies, Fran's path back into the art world resumed as if no time had elapsed. Fran is a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists and the Western New York Artists' Group.
