Chaucer Silverson lives in Bozeman, Montana. U.S.A. and paints with oil on linen, acrylic on canvas, paper and panel, and watercolor on paper, board, and panel. "I work on abstract compositions with references to gesture, movement, and insight and with landscapes from travel sketches. Most of my work, even landscapes, presents a level of reduced subject matter with abstract pieces representing internal landscapes of resonance and emotion and works featuring landscapes, travel sketches, and recognizable locations reduced to the essence of a composition. I'm striving to provide the viewer with an internal landscape or a self-perspective unique to each person. My intention is to present my worldview, a response to a mixed world of beauty, chaos, meaning, right and wrong. I want everyone to begin their response to my work from the same point of reference. I consider my audience everyone, regardless of where they were born, if they went to school, what their political, social, or spiritual views are. I'm speaking to everyone. Each of my paintings has a different reality for all viewers minds, without my direction to think about a certain topic or scene in a specific way."
