Goodbye (2012) Painting by Wahlstrom

Wahlstrom brings a combination of integrity and insight, as well as emotional and psychological force, to the figurative art. He is a deceptively casual brushstroke. Fluidity combined with a pragmatic approach to representation seduces and disarms. Always depicting man, sometimes in groups, reminding us that distortions of scale and form can often make a subject seem more real. Skin tones, often called skin color or complexion, refers to the actual color of a sitter’s skin (black, brown, red, yellow, white, etc.) and is often called local color. 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.
