Jeremy G. Bell is a Seattle-based painter.
Bell is noted for his ambitious layered portraits. His wide array of art materials-- charcoal, acrylic, oil paint, spray paint, ink and wax-- serve to defy what is traditionally expected in portraiture. Bell shares a particularly strong appreciation for subtle expression because it confers a veneration to scrutinize human feelings. His art poses as a harmony of realness and traditional artwork; Bell invites the viewer to see what is intrinsically visible in his works. Advocating for representation that penetrates far into our connectivity and heightened awareness, Bell renders portraiture in a delicate yet prodigious technique that uncovers hints of intensity and allows excitable tones. His approaches are evocative of individual spectrums, boldly capturing a person while surrendering himself through a myriad of subtle expressions.
