DWIGHT BAIRD

What others see as paintings, I pass by. What I see as paintings, others pass by...

Dwight Baird has been painting full-time for forty years. Evolving from watercolours to acrylics, he has developed a unique contemporary realism style - big-brush impressionist strokes and subtle squares juxtaposed with highly defined focal points. Baird's most recent series of works depicts the daily struggle of life in Cuba. These paintings are also  historical documents - selected vignettes of a country anchored in the past yet on the verge of dramatic change.

Finding  beauty where most people would never dream to look -winding backstreets, narrow alleys, darkened doorways -  Baird depicts the sadness, joy, hope and despair of humanity within a social context
