Searles IV (2016) Painting by Searles

The artist Searles moves away from traditional figurative patterns and imposes his own style with total freedom. The expressive quality of his painting emerges from strong brushstrokes and rapid gestural movements charged with feelings. The perfection of realism is not sought here, on the contrary, the artist deliberately distorts the contours but preserves the essential and thus allows the identification of his characters. Flesh tones, on the other hand, refer to the different nuances within the actual color. Within the black, brown, red, yellow or white skin color, there are several subtle combinations, or nuances, that are known as flesh tones. Like the yin and yang philosophy, many colors come together to make one color, and in one color exists many different colors. For example, from a distance we see White complexion, Black complexion, Brown complexion or Red complexion. When we look closer, we start to notice the blues, pinks, yellows, purples and all the subtle nuances ranging from muted to intense mixtures, warm and cool tones. It’s just like looking at a computer image. If you reduce or scale down a picture to a smaller size, the picture will get as fine and detailed as possible. But enlarge it and you will see big squares of pixels.
