Josef Kote. While his subjects may seem simple, his unique technique and use of color immediately distinguish his works, making them highly recognizable. Essentially, his art revolves around four main themes—seascapes, cityscapes, landscapes, and what appears to be the same woman.
It also seems that he works exclusively with acrylic on canvas. Acrylic paints dry quickly, allowing the artist to layer strokes without waiting for them to dry. This means that blending, characteristic of oil painting, is almost nonexistent in acrylic unless special additives are used to slow drying. However, acrylics provide a brightness and color saturation that oil paints cannot achieve.
