Artist Statement:
John Kilroy advocates working
from life, capturing the
essence in his revealing
portraits. Like many painters
before him, he feels that
every portrait, figure, still
life or landscape offers the
opportunity to evoke feelings
of beauty, awe, reverence and
character while maintaining
the historic technical
integrity of this
distinguished craft. He has
found over the years that his
most successful works are
those done directly from life
and takes pleasure in passing
on his reverence for art,
"reality" and life to his
students.
The essence of his artistic
and teaching philosophy
focuses on the "Live"
experience and he incorporates
accuracy of perception,
combined with direct
techniques in all media
including music.
Clear communication and design
are essential as he stresses
the effects of light on the
subject. Executed both indoors
and out, the main emphasis is
on identifying the significant
visual elements of color and
structure translated through
the particular media of the
moment. ...
