Gene Underwood
Medieval scholar who morphed into an advertising creative director with private art training. Longterm Bucks County, PA resident who is in NYC frequently. Hellbent on innovating the still life tradition so it reflects our LED-lighted 21st century.
Pursuing the irony of rendering commonplace items—bubble wrap, Post-its, paper coffee cups, Ziplock bags—in traditional oil paint. My paintings stop time and ask viewers to look over the overlooked items around them. Maybe find beauty there and a bit of ecological anxiety.
