Ken Tighe

In her thoughtful and wide-ranging blog, Samantha Hankey shouts out to one of my very favorite painters, the much-admired Ken Tighe.

Tighe is not only a tremendous and distinctive voice in contemporary realist painting, but he has an incredible, magnetic gift for guiding young artists in developing their craft. I guess it's an understatement to say that he has a bit of a following among students and former students. The good news is that he's been making more time for his own work lately. Do yourself a very Greene favor and take a gander at http://kentighe.com.
