FIGURES ON CANVAS — WAYNE ENSRUD

FIGURES ON CANVAS

Ensrud has explored the subject of the figure his entire life. He places them floating in space without other elements, within decorative interiors, clothed in flowing robes as well as uncovering the figure in its natural state. Without recourse to nostalgia or fashion, he paints the figure not only as a symbol of beauty but as a strong form with arresting detail. He renders his figurative paintings with rich dynamic brushwork and yet can also minimally convey the form of a model with his own distinctive flowing lines.

“No jewel is rarer than Woman. She embodies the energies of creation, evokes nature’s rhythms and is the gateway to cosmic mysteries.” - Wayne Ensrud
