Vaughn Neville's work comes from his deep commitment to the act of painting. Inspired by music and the natural beauty that surrounds his studio, Vaughn is motivated by a constant drive to put paint to canvas or charcoal to paper. Whatever medium he is working with, Vaughn is interested in exploring its limits and possibilities. His formalist and expressive practice is indicative of the approaches of Modernists painters such as the Abstract Expressionists or the Automatistes. Vaughn has developed a considered and rigorous process through decades of dedication to his work.
