1993年生于英国,2016年获得纽卡斯尔大学纯艺学士学位。他的画作既具当代性,又充满古典气息。他常描绘广袤的自然或人造景观,画面中仅存稀微的人类或动物痕迹。这些作品以印象派风格呈现,色彩明丽、构图理想化,介于梦境与现实之间。
拉兹的技法融合多重传统:他的重复笔触令人联想到克劳德 · 莫奈(Claude Monet)等印象派大师,营造出模糊、轮廓未明的视觉印象;而在色彩运用与色点组合方式上,又可见乔治 · 修拉(Georges Seurat)等点彩派画家的影响。然而,他所选择的视角与构图完全独特,同时也重新诠释了新艺术运动与世纪之交象征主义的母题。
Born in the UK in 1993, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Newcastle University in 2016. His images are both contemporary and ancient. They usually depict vast landscapes, natural or manmade, where small traces of human or animal life subsist. Painted in a manner that recall Impressionism, they are idealized and colorful, at the frontier between dream and reality.
Raz’s technique draws both on major impressionists like Claude Monet, in the way his repeated brushstrokes create an impression of vague, of barely-defined contours, and on pointillists like Seurat, who seems to influence both his palette and the way his colors are combined together. However, the perspectives and angles he chooses are entirely unique, just like the way he also reinterprets tropes from Art Nouveau and turnof-the-century symbolism.
