Kenneth Ober Oil Paintings

Kenneth Ober Oil Paintings and other works can be seen at his gallery, which is located on Arizona Highway 80 East outside Old Bisbee.

Ober describes his process this way:
My paintings contain complex fields created through the persistent repetition of simple lines in many colors. The multiple layers of marks interact to create a variety of visual experiences. These paintings are created primarily with a tool designed for pin-striping automobiles, which I use to apply precise lines on the subtly textured canvas. The lines of different colors combine to create a visual color that combines its components. Essentially, the colors coalesce in the viewer’s eyes, an experience known as the optical mixing of colors. I have used this technique primarily to create abstract landscapes, seascapes, and starscapes. The millions of tiny marks I make create a feeling similar to observing the physical world. A real landscape, seascape, or starscape is by no means still. It moves constantly—e.g., waving grass, flowing water, shimmering stars. The marks on these paintings also visibly fluctuate, creating a sense of constant movement and change.
