Jonn Einerssen works almost exclusively in oils,
layering glazes to create a translucent and harmonious play of light and
colour. While each painting is a bold, realistic interpretation, it begins
with an impressionistic approach.
The artist blocks in a painting from a feeling, a process that may take form
several hours to a day. He then works other block ins until the feelings
subside, progressing to a technical approach which puts the" feeling" into
an intense, recognizable form.
Remarkably,
Einerssen, born in 1949, did not begin painting or even sketching until he
was 21. Both privately and self-taught, he quickly became a flourishing,
self-sustaining artist, capturing the attention of private and corporate
collectors. He conducts workshops throughout the year, passing on this
disciplined approach to aspiring artists while demonstrating his masterful
style and technique.
