Romantic artist Max Hayslette imbues his ethereal foreign landscapes with comforting warmth. Hayslette, born in West Virginia, utilizes Asian art’s abstract summary of form, creating his landscapes from traditional elements overlaid upon a two-dimensional, black and white framework. Hayslette works on-site in early morning solitude, which imparts his art with spiritual serenity. He is sensitive to the unique color temperatures of various locales, and strives to distinctively express them in his work.
