Nabil Kapasi Artist of the Month








Maine Artist Allen Bunker

Maine artist Allen Bunker paints the feeling he gets from a scene.  People like to 'get away' or 'get back to nature.'  These are feelings or emotions, not just places.  His goal as an artist is to bring the viewer back to that feeling or emotion, but not always a pretty little emotion with a picket fence around it.  Often, the feeling is intense and bold, or cold and foreboding.  These emotions are all a part of life captured by Bunker’s work. 

Allen Bunker calls his paintings “Landscape Allusions”.  They are not like your typical landscapes but they allude to the landscape.  The object itself is not the real concern, but the feeling the viewer gets is what gives it life.  And Life is what it's all about.
