Bill Hibberd fine art - Summerland, South Okanagan, BC Artist
Summerland BC and its surrounding area has so much to offer which is the main reason that we live here or want to live here. My good friend Bill Hibberd is a local artist that captures some of the ‘untouched' beauty we have been given.
artist's statement - Bill HIBBERD
I am an oil painter. Commissioned work aside, I paint in response to my surroundings. People, clouds, land, water, shade and light. I will often use colour shifts instead of contrastng values. I don't have a final image in mind at the genesis of a painting; I allow the piece to direct me and find that the adventure is in the process. Towards the end of a work I'll give some consideration to how a viewers' eyes will explore a composition and will make some adjustments.
I am developing my own language in the textures and colours of oil paint. I paint what I find beautiful and visually exciting. I believe the artist's privilege is to be a conduit of visual beauty.
Each of us brings something to the banquet of life. I will bring my paintings.
