The abandoned and forgotten landscapes of rural southwestern towns
are the favoured subjects of Rod Penner's paintings. The artist's
keen eye combines photojournalism and photorealism to create images
of small-town America. His deft use of contrasts in his images -
despondency and hope, isolation and nostalgia - evokes memories of
The Last Picture Show and elicits complex responses from viewers.
"I'm interested in the look of things and the quality of being
there," he says. "A moment that is completely frozen with all the
variety of textures; rust on poles, crumbling asphalt, light
hitting the grass." Penner's works are based on his photographs,
digital video stills, and his experience of the rural landscapes of
Texas and New Mexico. He depicts desolate, often deserted
locations, the character of old houses and abandoned buildings,
weather, and unique geography. His chosen scenes are infused with a
cinematic quality that is the result of the exquisite light that he
captures with his meticulous process. "The finished paintings
should evoke contrasting responses of melancholy and warmth,
desolation and serenity," he says.
