Rick Loudermilk creates copperplate etchings of unusual clarity and warmth. He does so by combining exceptional technical abilities and an eye for lyrical design, and subject matter that celebrates the details of life. In realistic still lives, Loudermilk presents flowers, fruits, and both human and animal figures in compositions that endow the subjects with special dignity and grace. Contributing to the effect of these etchings are Loudermilk's sensitive line, his subtle modulations of tonal aquatints, and his delicately applied watercolor.
"I do not address issues with my work, instead I want the message that my art conveys to be one of serenity and tranquillity. My images are celebrations of the beauty of the world. But, I am also concerned with formal aesthetic elements - the balance between composition, color and the variety of texture achievable through the aquatint process." - Rick Loudermillk
