How do today’s most exciting painters actually build their dreamlike worlds? In this episode of Great Art Show, we’re moving past the “art speak” to look at the physical tools, brushwork, and unconventional techniques of six contemporary icons.
From the “alla prima” velocity of Jenna Gribbon to the subtractive “carving” of Jennifer Packer, we explore how these artists use oil, pastel, and linen to create the “vibrational atmosphere” that defines modern surrealism.
In this video, we break down the studio secrets of: 🎨 Doron Langberg: The “Wet-on-Wet” bleed and neon-hued halos. 🎨 Sasha Gordon: The “Hyper-Realistic” glazing process and supernatural skin tones. 🎨 Hernan Bas: The “Narrative” impasto and the tension of decorative clutter. 🎨 Jennifer Packer: The “Subtractive” method of carving light from the dark. 🎨 Jenna Gribbon: The “Alla Prima” velocity and the technical art of intimacy. 🎨 Nicolas Party: The “Soft Pastel” mastery and the secret to a matte, velvet surface.
Whether you’re a professional painter or a deep appreciator of the craft, this deep dive is about the how behind the wow.
