| Randall Sexton(b. 1958) is a California painter whose colorful, loose style is admired by collectors and fellow artists alike. First tapped by John Pence in 1995 as our "Introductions" artist, Sexton has staged four successful one-man shows in our San Francisco Gallery. Sexton moved to California from the East Coast in 1980, upon graduating from the University of Connecticut. He has been a fixture in the Bay Area painting scene ever since. Nowadays, Sexton is very well known around the community. The San Francisco Chronicle covered his move from North Beach to Vallejo. A former instructor at the Academy of Art University, he now instructs traditional fine art technique to the technophiles in the computer animation department at Pixar. In addition, he teaches private workshops all throughout the country.
Known as one of the premier contemporary Californian plein-air painters, Sexton also paints still lifes, figures, and portraits with equal panache. His versatility evidences a seriously dedicated painter who strives to stretch boundaries whenever he can. His colors are brilliant and accurate and his compositions are carefully constructed with closely observed detail. Sexton was recently honored with “Best of Show” in the 2006 Maui Plein Air Invitational juried by Jean Stern, Director of the Irvine Museum of Art. He also added the “Artists Choice” award from the 2006 Sedona Plein Air Festival to his long list of awards and achievements.
In Nov/Dec 2010, Sexton will stage his fifth one-man exhibition with the John Pence Gallery.
Prices for Sexton's work range from $1,250 to $12,500, depending upon size and complexity.
