A Henry David Thoreau once said, "The world is but a canvas (畫布) to our imagination. " CBS News reporter Don Teague shows us an artist who chose to speak through canvas when his world went dark.
If you ask John Bramblitt to describe the world,chances are that he'll tell you it's colourful. Bramblitt is an artist whose works are defined by bold and expressive use of colour which has emotion all its own.
"Fear,it's a red with a lot of black mixed in," Bramblitt said. "It's almost like the colour of blood and dirt or soil―it's really deep. ” He knows a lot about fear and anger and depression. Emotions almost overwhelmed him nine years ago when at just age 30,complications (并發(fā)癥) from epilepsy (魔痛癥) left him forever blind.
What colour was the depression? "In my world,it was the worst black. It was like being in a hole," Bramblitt said. He eventually climbed out of that hole by learning to paint. He figured out how to mix the colours by feeling the different textures in the oils. He also learned how to apply paint by outlining ari image and using his fingers to guide the brush strokes. He sees his subjects with only his fin?gertips.
When Bramblitt touched his face,Teague jokingly said, "Brad Pitt,right?" "Yeah,you called it," Bramblitt replied.
To let Bramblitt touch your face is to allow him to imprint your image in his mind. His portraits are proof that his fingertips are as perceptive as his eyes once were.
He's never seen professional skateboarder Tony Hawk,but after feeling his face he painted a remarkable portrait. He has never seen his own wife or his young son,but it's clear he knows exactly what they look like.
Bramblitt's art is gaining notice in galleries around the country. You'll often find him in museums or at schools teaching his technique and what he's learned about life and colour to children.
"The future is so open,and there're so many things I want to do," Bramblitt said. "It's brilliant,it's just the most brilliant colour and I can't wait to see it take form,to see it take shape. ” This artist's vision is as bright as his art.
