Robert Connell
Phil Greenwood
Robert Connell (American, b. 1947) was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Seattle, Washington. He received a BFA in Painting in Drawing from the University of Washington and studied at the American Center for Art and Artists in Paris. He has exhibited extensively in the Pacific Northwest and has artworks in many esteemed collections. Connell is known for his plein-air paintings that utilize sumi ink and gouache on paper. His work is influenced by both Asian painting techniques and newspaper printing practices, which is how he developed his unique technique combining ink painting on site and applying gouache with a printmaker’s brayer in the studio. His works focus on the Northwest landscape, negative and positive space, and the impact of memory and personal experience on a place.
Phil Greenwood (Welsh, b. 1943) was born in 1943 in North Wales and raised between London and Wales. He studied printmaking at Harrow and Hornsey Colleges of Art. Greenwood has been a printmaker for 50 years. He has taught and lectured in printmaking, always committed to developing and honing his craft, specifically etching. His work has been shown internationally and is in the collections of many British institutions. Greenwood is known for his landscape etchings created on copper plates that feature a wide range of color and tone produced by few plates. His work focuses on the natural organization of landscapes and their colors. Frequently collecting photographs and sketches from his environment, Greenwood's work explores the atmosphere created by a landscape as opposed to recreating a specific place.
