Maxwell Alexander Gallery is honored to announce the inaugural full-scale solo exhibition of American artist George G. Redden. Over the past year, Redden has rapidly established himself as a prominent figure in the American West art market, selling nearly every piece created. In November, he showcased his largest works to date during the Re-Re-Opening exhibition at Maxwell Alexander Gallery, with both pieces selling on the opening night. This new collection emphasizes Redden's deep connection to the outdoors, hunting, and life in the American West.
Redden comes from a long line of Pioneer Heritage, with his family settling in the Southwest region of Wyoming as early as the 1850s. George G. Redden, not to be mistaken for his father, accomplished artist Grant Redden, grew up around art and the outdoors. "I've been drawing since...jeez...since I can remember," says Redden. The artist started life working on the family ranch, fishing, hunting, and connecting with nature, much of which is depicted in his stylized depictions of Native Americans in his paintings. Redden says he feels the desire to interact with the wilderness and hopes he is able to capture the true nature of the outdoors when he paints.
Above all, George Redden is attracted to shapes. While in nature, he sees the boldness of trees and the shadows casting and creating unique lines. "Color is important, but shape is more exciting and more important to me... I use outlines on my figures to make the shapes stronger." Influenced by the Golden Era of Illustrators, Redden's biggest influences include N.C. Wyeth, J. C. Leyendecker, and, surprisingly, Nicolai Fechin. "Fechin uses 'line' like no other. He's able to render an entire area with just lines." The artist is constantly studying the human form; he sees a lot of beauty in it. He loves the juxtaposition of the human form set against nature and the lore of the beauty that comes when they're harmonious. He also likes to show the realness of nature and the struggle of Man vs. Wild.
Redden received a degree in wildlife and worked in conservation, all the while studying art. His father, Grant Redden, put him through an intensive Russian-style academy. He was forced to paint and draw without color for an entire year. "He forced me to learn value and shape before I was able to even consider using color... I think that's part of the reason I focus so much on the shapes of humans in nature."
George Redden currently lives in Lyman, Wyoming, with his wife and four kids, where they continue to enjoy the natural world and creativity together.
