JOE DUVIVIER

I have been working in oils since 1986. My work is
representational with a focus on the emotional
effects of visual perception. I studied primarily with
Anthony Holdsworth, an urban landscape painter in
the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1994 I began to
exhibit my work in many one man shows and group
shows in the Bay Area and on the Mendocino Coast.
My work has been shown in several galleries on the
Mendocino Coast.
I work directly from my subjects, without using
photographs, since I find that photographs tend to
inhibit composition as well as restricting the dynamic
value and color gamut that we perceive. Recently I
have been producing archival reproductions of many
of my paintings.
