My paintings are about light and color. I strive to depict emotions and beauty through these two elements and perhaps to encourage the viewer to contemplate their response to the light and color I present. The Earth Light Tapestries series is a pure non-representational explorations of color and light and texture. The constants in this series were the size of the works, the acrylic media and a palette dominated by earth colors. The variables were the textures and application of paints. Various acrylic gels and sand were added to the paints to achieve the textures.

Randall Talbot was born and raised in Edmonton and continues to live here. He has been passionate about the visual arts throughout his life and has been actively painting and sculpting since the mid-1980's. He is largely self-taught but is greatly indebted to artist/instructors encountered through the U of A Faculty of Extension and Red Deer College Series Program, and to numerous artists in local arts organizations.
