Walter A. Fydryck uses
his significant artistic skills to examine the related emotional
responses amongst groupings of people. His characters seem
as emotionally connected as those of the artist Ruprecht
von Kaufmann appear disconnected. Using a photo process
paper as a base he applies a color wash. Then, using a very
fine black pencil, he delineates the forms and facial features.
Colored pencil is applied over the base wash, accentuating
its inherent textural qualities. Volume is created by shading,
and color selection establishes the emotional content of
the drawing.
Fydryck earned his associates degree from
the American Academy of Fine art. Grants include those awarded
in 1997 by the Illinois Arts Council and in 1999 by the
Community Art Assistance Program. Permanent collections
include those of the Byer Museum, IL, Goshen College, and
the Tyler Museum of Art, TX. Exhibiting extensively throughout
the US, his works have been included in several one-person
and group shows including the 12th Biennial Drawing/Water
Color Exhibit at the Tarble Arts Center at Eastern Illinois
University.
