| Introduction | A professional artist for over 30 years, John Scott Delzell strives to capture light and form in all its subtleties and strengths while enjoying a unique relationship with his canvases. Balancing brilliance with contrast, defining edges and contours with the ever-elusive background, Delzell creates a diverse body of work with styles ranging from photo-realism to heavy impasto impressionism, surreal abstract forms, and combinations in between. His images of brazen snags, twisted driftwood and temperamental skies are juxtaposed with soft portraits, serene seascapes and abstractly woven speckled forested trails. His portrait project, Life Encounters on Canvas, explores the diversity and intimate thoughts of students who have immigrated from countries around the world. The 28 portraits and their accompanying life stories have been displayed at community centers, libraries, public schools, colleges and universities. He also enjoys the creative interaction of composing an original painting that meets the needs of the collector. John Delzell’s studio is open by appointment throughout the year. |
