By The Firehouse Studios

The Box Series is an extraordinary body of work by one of the most prolific figurative painters of our time. This book is a comprehensive insider's look at the artists' work and thought processes. Seen in ArtNEWS Magazine and many figurative anthologies, Gibbons' oil paintings reexamine the human condition and their relationships for a contemporary audience.These life-size, black and white oils are inspired by the artist's journey to Paris and rediscovering the neoclassical paintings of Jacque-Louis David and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Gibbons was motivated to create a body of work that would be potent, powerful and significant today while still able to stand the test of time.Gibbons' work uniquely combines the best traditions of East and West. His fine arts training was primarily conducted in Japan and steeped in the traditions of Asian brush painting and composition. This he successfully combines with the aesthetics' of Greco-Roman classical figurative imagery.
