Vegas Gallery Art - Gregory Wilhelmi
Describing his style as contemporary realism, Wilhelmi follows a long tradition of utilizing light and color with a stylistic flair. Short, quick brushstrokes and a bold use of highlights, create a sense of movement and energy that flows through his paintings. Often his use of streams and paths lead the viewer deep into his creative vision of sunlight forests and fields.
Wilhelmi's cityscapes are equally compelling, presenting the viewer with a more profound and complex emotional view, of what they may not have noticed as they passed by.
