CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN OIL PAINTING BY ROBERT SHILLADY - Robert Shillady, American, born 1947, an oil painting on canvas depicting a port view. Signed and dated, lower right. Robert Shillady is an American artist, known for stylized scenes with precise detail, honing in on forest floor along the Maine coast where the viewer becomes intimate with ferns, lichen, estuaries, leaves, twigs, roots, stones, and grasses. Through the application of multiple layers of acrylic paint interspersed with glazes, sometimes as many as forty layers, Shillady elicits marvel with the heightened reality of his surfaces. For his most ambitious paintings, Shillady chooses to paint scenes with an elaborate cast of characters engaged in any number of activities from meandering around town, and sailing.
