ABOUT THE ARTWORK
An illuminating iteration of Roughty Bridge I, Seamus Berkeley ventures even deeper into the transformative terrain of vertical paintings with Roughty Bridge II. As if the landscape has both come into focus and come alive on canvas, Roughty Bridge II invites viewers to inquire about the ways in which we see our environment – in which we look with intention, or lack thereof – and how we take notice of the world around us. Treading carefully upon the earth invites us to watch our step upon the ground; gazing at a sorbet sunset may invite the chin to lift as eyes settle on the horizon afar, color highlighting the sky along distant latitudes. But what of this often overlooked perspective that starts at our toes and reaches high toward the heavens? How often do we actually pause to observe the sky, to breathe, to notice the whimsical shapes of clouds, or allow a bird to capture your gaze en route to its next destination? Does looking, in this way, change how we perceive yourself fitting into this matrix? Roughty Bridge II beckons you toward a change in perspective, toward contemplative, mindful inquiry: what are you paying attention to in your quotidian routine? In these fleeting moments that seem insignificant, but that, in reality, make up the years of our lives? When observing the colors and textures of Roughty Bridge II, do you notice any reactions or emotions arising? Where in your body can you feel any sensations in response? Seamus wishes to invite viewers into a deeper experience of noticing, and tuning in to your unique experience on earth when witnessing a provocative painting such as Roughty Bridge II.

Seamus Berkeley
United States
Seamus Berkeley has been creating paintings, photographs and prints in a variety of genres for decades. Dublin-born, Berkeley lives in Taos, New Mexico and travels extensively for inspiration for his paintings and photographic images.His paintings and images are extensively collected, both nationally and internationally, most of which is commissioned fine art paintings. He uses oils as his primary painting medium, focusing on a variety of subjects in a representational impressionistic style and digital camera and phone for his exploration of the natural world. What motivates him to create artwork is that serve as reminders to the viewer of our existence in and as part of nature. The primary goal is to make artwork that reflects his personal experience of memorable moments of being alive. Artwork has the potential to evoke a similar memorable experience for the viewer. Berkeley's work is not only an expression of himself, but it is his own personal contribution to visually recorded history. He has won several regional and national awards for his artwork, including Best Portrait at the Oil Painters of America show in 2000. He is the founder and past-president of the Taos Society of Portrait Artists and a member of the Oil Painters of America. Berkeley's work has been featured in such publications as Southwest Art, Information Warehouse, The Taos News, Art-Talk and The Trail-Gazette. His influences include esteemed artists Charles Cross, Nancy Guzik, Quang Ho, David Lefel, Ron Sherr, Richard Schmid and Teresa Vito. Additionally, he has traveled around the globe to study first-hand the works of master painters. "The beauty of art is not only in the completed work but in its process. The creative process in art is a movement the external world is seen from the artist's perspective and is then returned to the external world through the chosen media. The result of this reflective process is a work of art to be shared by others" ~ Seamus Berkeley Why Do I Create Artwork? Beauty: For me, beauty is a delightful inner experience, not outside of oneself. Each of us has the potential to be in that space and we make the choice to be there or not. Painting is about the active engagement of placing oneself in the state of being that sees things in a beautiful way. The outcome expressed on canvas may lead the observer to wonder what the artist was experiencing while creating the painting.
