It moves people. It heals. Art communicates without words —Brad Teare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrad first saw original paintings by Vincent Van Gogh on a visit to the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. He marveled at the visceral power of the thick applications of beautiful color. He thought reproductions of Van Gogh's work were faint shadows of the originals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntrigued with how to teach himself to paint with thick texture, and mystified by the paucity of information on the subject, he started a blog named Thick Paint. It chronicles his experimentation with a wide variety of mediums and techniques to achieve paintings that are visceral, tactile and, he hopes, deeply moving. The blog and Youtube channel have since provided information on the topic to over 2 million viewers from nearly every nation on the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, he began doing experimental abstract paintings to more deeply explore the texturing process. He used acrylics since they allow unlimited layers and bizarre texturing mediums without the threat of cracking. He studied combinations of color and texture using a unique painting process that frequently employed both hands and mediums such as fumed silica, calcium carbonate, and marble dust. He worked for two years on the acrylic abstracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter his explorations and two successful abstract shows, he returned to landscapes with a desire to infuse oil paint with even more texture and vibrating color. He also embraced the palette knife as his primary means of paint application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe newfound fusion of techniques provided Brad a rich repertoire and a robust, energetic wellspring for a new generation of paintings. After a long search, he had finally found his home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrad Teare built a successful career illustrating for publishers such as The New York Times and Random House where he did book covers for authors such as James Michener, Anne Tyler, and Alice Walker. In 1994 his aspiration of painting the Western landscape reasserted itself, and he moved to Providence, Utah, a small town in the Rocky Mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeare has been invited to many artist residencies including the Maynard Dixon Residency in Mount Carmel, Utah and the Forbes Trinchera Residency in Southern Colorado. His work has been featured in magazines such as American Artist and Gulf Connoisseur (Dubai). His work has been included in shows such as the LA Art Show, the Springville Museum, the Door County Plein Air Festival,  and the Forbes Galleries in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"standing-still","title":"Standing Still","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"i4c-draggable-container\" style=\"position: fixed; z-index: 1499; width: 0px; height: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"resolved\" style=\"all: initial;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Standing Still\" by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.raitmanart.com\/collections\/brad-teare\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Brad Teare landscape artist\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBrad Teare\u003c\/a\u003e measures 48 inches tall by 48 inches wide.\u003cspan\u003e   The piece is framed.
