Biography
Utah artist Ted Remington is motivated by what he describes as an Inner Journey through great external formations, colors and expanses of the Southwest. His style can be described as distilled realism, interpreting wonder and awareness for the Desert Southwest––an area he has enjoyed for over 25 years, calling it “The Greatest Sand on Earth.” With soft pastels as his primary medium, his texture and fusion of colors belie the medium. Ted cultivated a technique using black pastel board on which he presses a flat surface of the pastel to achieve an unblended, three-dimensional effect, resulting in textures and hues similar to oil paints. Remington believes technique is imperative, but more important is a passionate artistic voice. The artist has received special honors and awards for his imagery and is represented by galleries in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Wyoming. Ted also delights in being a relative of great Western sculptor and painter, Frederic Remington. “Visualization of enthralling locations is natural when one has played and romped, crawled and pored over, between and through a veritable ocean of crevices, mesas, and mounds...it has been a labyrinth journey through earth and consciousness.”
