Artist Delbert Gish  


Born in rural Oklahoma, the son of two professors, Del Gish received his master of fine arts degree from the University of Idaho after an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Northwest Nazarene University. In addition to his classic still lifes and landscapes, many of the works in this show are portraits and street scenes from Gish’s travels in Russia, India and Rwanda. “Observing how people live is fascinating,” says Gish, whose travels include two years in Belize via the Peace Corps. Based on intense observation and studio discipline Gish demonstrates a profound respect for a tradition that prescribes painting as a vehicle for self-knowledge, a tool for probing the nature of visual truths. He balances a finely-tuned understanding of aesthetics—color, shape, value, shadow, light, form—with an intuitive ability to unify those same aesthetics into a balanced whole.
ARTIST STATEMENT

"I think that above all else students should be making an effort to paint what they see, to put a lot of effort into just seeing, and to master the fundamentals. Expression can be put off till later. Learning to handle paint, to draw, to render correct value and color relationships is of primary importance for students. A teacher can help with these basic things but one must be completely independent when he makes a personal expression. What a person feels inside himself, what he wants to express, is really none of the teacher's business..."
