Harry Orlyk Biography

Harry Orlyk  works out of the back of his van, recording the landscape around his home in Salem, New York, and in so doing offers a journey into the serenity of the American countryside. Orlyk uses a free-spirited style with thick strokes of paint that glisten as if in motion. Orlyk is driven to paint everyday no matter what the weather. His thick overalls are covered in paint accumulated over the countless hours spent outside capturing the beauty of neighboring silos, farmhouses and farm equipments. There is no struggle between man and nature in Orlyk's paintings; all is harmonious, productive and beautiful-rural America at its finest.

     Artist Harry Orlyk: "A quarter century of painting has been an act of the imagination to determine who and what I am with respect to the earth and sky. Process, rather than product oriented, searching for the daily painting, has become a way of living in relationship with the earth. To become a human being, a part of nature rather than someone separate observing it from the outside, like hunter-gathers, I am led from one opportunity to the next, being directed by seasonal stages. The relationship has become the trust I give it to show me where my next painting will be. Each painting entails facing a swath of creation and observing something of its story, become a long log of small truths."

     Harry Orlyk was born in Troy, NY in 1947. He received his M.F.A. in 1974 from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. He also received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1995.
