Legacy:The Paintings of Sedrick Huckaby
CONTENT, FORM & THE FUTURE-Artist’s Statement #1
Sedrick HuckabyI have always liked using paint in a “painterly” fashion. Originally, I was attracted to the perceptual effect of thickly encrusted paintings. Over the years I developed ways of using impasto that digress from the normal modes. “Relief painting” is the name I have given to the recent form of paintings that I am developing.
In relief painting the goal is to intertwine the actual form and the image in a seamless fashion, acting as both a painting and a relief. Another new innovation includes figural sculptures made out of mounded oil paint. Although it goes against normal painting techniques I know these new methods can be made into permanent forms.
