April 2, 1962Born: Biloxi, Mississippi

Randy Ford is a realist painter specializing in urban subject and Americana. Randy seeks to preserve the constantly evolving American landscape through paint, capturing both object and time on canvas. Randy works in all method and manner of realistic style, from figurative to hyper-realistic. Preferred medium is oil on canvas with early works painted in acrylic. Early works are distinguished by zero texture, heavily gessoed surfaces with no apparent brush work. Recent works feature conventional woven surfaces with multiple washes and glazings. A constant in all of his work has been fidelity to detail and accuracy of drawing always keeping in perspective the viewers expectation of reality.
