Classical Greek

Fine Hand-Cast Greek
and Roman Sculpture

In art, the human figure is one of the oldest subjects known to man. From the earliest instance of cave painting, to the Classical, Renaissance, Gothic, and the Modern, this particular theme of the human figure, especially the nude, has been with us throughout history.

In the Renaissance, such old masters like Michelangelo, drew inspiration from the early works of the Greeks, who were inclined to create direct from nature. In his works you have a sense of his admiration for the Greeks and their masterpieces.

Upon return from Italy, the young Rodin was awe-struck at the great works he observed from the master, Michelangelo. With that, he brought us incredible works such as The Thinker, The Kiss, and Victor Hugo and the Muses. His less-known works, such as the nude torso - these figures without arms, heads, and legs - are endowed with a sense of mystery. And all one needs is imagination to complete the figure. Indeed a great work of art needs...mystery.

Montage of Color

Subtle Interplay of Color

Montage of Color is a series of boldly colored original abstract acrylic paintings. With a touch of surrealism in some, these works offer a fresh and unencumbered look at the world around us. The images combine dazzling colors with thoughtful compositions. The artist's keen sense of color is evident in these abstract works and must be seen firsthand to be truly appreciated.

Nudes

Living Curves

The human figure has been studied by virtually all artists, small and great, throughout history, and for good reason. There is hardly any other subject that offers so much inspiration and challenge, resulting in images with such wonderful beauty and intrigue. Rather than following classical form, Quincy has embraced a more modern style, regarding line, form and palette schemes. Inspired by the post-impressionist works of Gauguin and Modigliani, these wonderful nude paintings offer dazzling arrangements of color, texture and form.
