As an artist who has worked in various mediums and different fields of
art, I have found that working with simple forms, shapes and the use
of chiaroscuro (light and dark) style of painting has enabled me to
capture the basic elements of life and the world I have lived
in. Although I have had many influences for my art this series, which
I call (THE VILLAGE LIFE/SLICE of LIFE SERIES) comes from the 15 years
I spent as a fashion model, T.V. actor, illustrator and being lucky
enough to travel to various locations in the world. I would often find
myself on location in a rural setting modeling some well known
designer's clothes but placed among the working people of the
environment. I always enjoyed the way people would react and sometimes
interact with the photo shot as if they were posing themselves. The
images that attract me are those, which are people in their daily
chores, and surroundings .I tried to capture both a whimsical and yet
a sensitive slice of life which is ageless. I have chosen to leave my
subjects featureless so as to allow the viewer to project their own
imagination onto the rainbow of characters in my paintings. I hope you
get both a sense of (de'ja vu) and joyfulness when viewing my artwork
and would like to add my art to your environment and collection.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM CAIN
