George Shipperley, 1938 | Abstract painter / Teacher

George Shipperley: "I am inspired by the poetry of nature, especially trees and how they relate to one another".

"My strategy is to develop good color harmony with some degree of detail. Giving the whole story is not as interesting as allowing the viewer to use their imagination".

George Shipperley: "Sono ispirato dalla poesia della natura, in particolare degli alberi e di come si relazionano tra loro. La mia strategia è sviluppare una buona armonia dei colori con un certo grado di dettaglio. Dare l'intera storia non è così interessante come permettere allo spettatore di usare la propria immaginazione".
