DOMINIC AVANT
Sarasota, FL He feels plein air painting plays an essential role in being a representational artist. His strong sense of light, vivid color, uid brush work is a direct result of his many hours invested in the eld. Because of this investment, even his larger studio pieces and gurative works show his grounding in painting from life. His plein air works include eld studies to larger multi session pieces. Dominic is also recognized as one of our nest gurative painters. Dominic’s work is a fusion of realism and impressionism. He strives to evoke in his viewers the same emotions that compel him to paint from the rst brushstroke. Dominic is a fac- ulty member at Ringling College of Art & Design and an established painter with works in collec- tions internationally. Avant’s work can be viewed online at www.dominicavant.com.
