Artist Biography
After graduating from the Art Institute of Houston with a degree in
commercial art,
Quincy Verdun
went to work in the field of
fine art,
producing
mixed-media posters and
open edition fine art prints.
The South Louisiana artist
has had his works shown at the Los Angeles and New York Expos,
and well as being published and widely distributed by Verkerke in the Netherlands.
Later, he began to focus his efforts on
sculpture
for which he always had a strong interest.
He was especially drawn to the
classical
works of the old masters, though he is also
much inspired by the
Neo-Classical
and the
Gothic
period.
A self-taught artist, he is strongly influenced by such
artists as Michelangelo, da Vinci and Rodin. With an awe and admiration of the old masters,
he began creating works in
cast
paper using a unique combination of
drawings and
sketches
with a low relief. These works are reminiscent of sketches by
Michelangelo and da Vinci. Some of Verdun's latest works have his hallmark of rich
surface and texture, with classical and modern themes, in a contemporary setting.
In addition to fine sculpture,
Verdun also produces a substantial number of
acrylic paintings as well.
Be sure to check out his series of Classic Nude paintings in his
gallery,
"Nudes: Living Curves".
Also, his most recent series in the gallery;"Portraits and Figures: Portals to the Soul" hosts an astounding array of exquisite works not to be missed.
Much of Verdun's
abstract art
has been published as
fine art posters
and distributed around the world.
