Hello everyone,

I thought I'd share one of my favorite contemporary artists. Sedrick Huckaby is a Dallas/Ft. Worth based painter. His subject matter usually includes people from his family and generates a feeling of antiquity when seen in person. He paints impasto so heavy that the paint often stands half an inch off the surface. I think it is safe to consider him a regional painter. I discovered him off of McKinney avenue in Dallas, TX at a gallery where paintings of his grandmother's quilts were hanging. His influences include Giacometti, Lucian Freud etc.
