DESCRIPTION:
David Martinez said True Art. George Shively is a phenomenal artist. His artwork appeals to a deeper part of ourselves. His paintings hint towards an innate mystic wonder that we sometimes feel when lost in nature's beauty.. "Dream of an Artist" according to MARLIN. The mystical art of George Shively seems to make the southwestern desert come truly alivemaybe somewhat like a dream come true.. unusual book A good choice to add to my collection of Art books, A lovely free feeling to it. Look forward to really getting into it.
I am utterly fascinated with and in awe of the natural geological formations of the American Southwest. He does not paint for marketing—he paints from his soul. It may seem trite, but I believe that it is well worth one’s while to make a trip to the Tucson Valley to see these incredibly mystifying works of art. In my paintings I want to show the monumental mythical quality of these environments as they morph into transcendent etheric dreams. I want each painting to show multiple celestial realities. "I want these paintings to convey a sense of the future and the past. My intent is to express a feeling of time beyond this world. George Shively is one of a dying breed of high quality painters who gives of his whole self in his art. He is a perfectionist. He has created his own art, and we are truly fortunate that George shares it with us. It is a total Zen-like experience for George, and he holds back nothing. What
