"Torrent of the Sea" and "the Music of New Orleans" will be shown in a collective exhibit in Chelsea at Agora Gallery, New York, NY Jan 30-Feb 19, 2009.
The works of D. Loren Champlin is on display at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery (NYC, NY) "Salute to the Stars" exhibit, May 8-Jun 2, 2009.
Loren Champlin, who lives and works in Piscataquis County, Maine, captures the moment of his subjects with bold, vivid colors and passionate bold brushstrokes. His works capture the essence of the subject and as he puts it merges the subject and the artist into symphonic melodies capturing the spirit of the moment in expressionistic style. They express the passion, strife, and joy of living in Maine.
The works currently on display are from the 2009 Songs of the Son series and include "The Song of Spring," "The Song of Mischief," and "The Song of the Sea." These works are of a very personal and passionate nature of the artist and resonates the sounds of youth and family on canvas.
Loren Champlin's works have been shown and sold internationally as well as nationally and has been featured in many magazines and more recently in a collective book of contemporary masters.
The highly textured portraits by painter D. Loren Champlin express the tumultuous experience of an intense inner life. His artwork is, as he says, "calculated chaos resulting in harmony" through his skilled fusion of lines and color within the human bodies he paints. Even if his subjects are motionless, the textures which make up their bodies reveal a multifarious nature.
Champlin's artistic vision is focused on merging the moment of inspiration with the commitment of painting. To capture the human life in a single instant, in a pose, or embrace, Champlin exceeds the bounds of portraiture and inhabits an expressionism reminiscent of fellow Norwegian Edvard Munch. Tides of color roil around his subjects like auras, and are echoed in similar ebbs within the limbs and faces of those he brings to the canvas. The human condition has always been Champlin's concern, and that vulnerability is expressed, ironically, in his bold brushwork and the tumult it conveys. D. Loren Champlin's paintings embrace the fleeting moment wherein the human character is revealed. - Agora Gallery, 2007
