Background Narrative

Ted Remington, as a self taught artist, began his career in his late middle age as the result of much encouragement from some artist friends.  He experienced a sudden surge of passion for visual art and that surge has not stopped. Early on, Ted began accepting commissioned works of art, was juried-in National competitions, became represented by galleries in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Wyoming, and began to receive special honors and awards.Although Remington has lived in San Francisco and its surrounding areas, he declares himself a native of Salt Lake City, Utah. As a boy, Ted was acknowledged locally for his portrait sketches, but a love affair with Italian bel Canto – having studied five years with a renowned opera singer – lured him away from fine art. Then, in the 1970’s, Ted discovered the desert southwest and was immediately inspired to write and publish poetry about his experiences. This effusive period was one in which the artist resolved primal forces to be a counterpart to a love of art or culture; rediscovering what he has called “my true voice…within which past artistic endeavours came together in one-pointedness on paper and canvas,” in which he saw a relationship between shading of the human voice and painting.

Ted says about his painting rebirth, “One day I awoke to a compelling force…a renewed passion for visual poetry as my true expression.” As of now, Remington’s artistic efforts are best expressed in his “Living Earth” series, a seemingly indefatigable journey in which the viewer is taken through heightened scenes inspired by the waterfalls of Grand Canyon, Zion National Park’s monoliths  and the  walls of the Colorado River, and by New Mexico and Pueblo Culture. Remington will also take you on an Inner Journey  through abstract expressions of his inner visions and heartfelt impressions.

Among his current accomplishments , Ted has been named to the”Pastel Society of America” as an Associate Member, the gold standard for Pastel Artists. Remington’s art was chosen by the Set Designers for the 2012 release of the movie,21 Jump Street; he was  featured in the 2002 Hard Cover, New Art International in New York; he has featured works in The renowned  Joan Cowley Art Gallery Catalogue, National Publication, 2002 to the Present, Scottsdale, Arizona; and has Open Editions published Internationally  by Poems Art Publisher; as well as being featured in such periodicals as Southwest Art Magazine, Utah Business Magazine and January 2002 featured in Utah Homes & Garden Magazine under “Artist of Utah”. Remington’s art has been featured along side of Georgia O’Keeffe’s art,  Ansel Adams, and R.C.Gorman as Art of the Month, in the New Mexico Magazine on  an on-going basis since 2006,( see photos in Posted News). 

As a Professional artist, Ted also delights in being a relative of the great western sculptor and painter, Frederic

THE GOLD STANDARD FOR THE ART WORLD’S PASTEL ARTISTS. IT’S A REAL PRIVILEGE.

Artist Statement

Two Journeys, One Path

While I have for many years been inspired by the formations, colors, light, and haunting expanses of the Southwest, I have also been moved to paint what I’ve envisioned from within those silent but moving spaces emanating from meditation. Each place and space is, for me, an honored place, having almost a ceremonial presence.

My style is best described as a distilled realism or, according to some, my art reflects a Romantic Impressionism.  Interpretively, my purpose is to evoke a sense of wonder and to heighten awareness. I’m always seeking more to express than to detail. Sometimes I experience a shift from painting what I see to seeing what I’ve painted, that’s always a moment of transcendence. For me, remembrances and visualizations are natural from having played and crawled over and between an ocean of crevices, mesas and mounds throughout the Colorado Plateau. It has been a labyrinth journey through earth, history, and consciousness. And while technique is imperative, more importantly yet is that an artist must have something to say – and with passion.

My Primary Medium is soft pastel, along with fewer pieces with oil on canvas. I have cultivated a technique with which, by utilizing black pastel surfaces, I press a flat surface of the pastel across the black board in order to achieve a more textured, more three-dimensional effect. This personal discovery has allowed me to build up textures, hues and a vibrancy similar to oil paints. This technique is in contrast to more traditional pastel “strokes”  which I also utilize often. I enjoy the use of the palette knife with oil on canvas, especially with more abstract works. My abstract painting is based  on creating representational paintings.
