Todd M. Casey was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. His
artistic education includes a BFA in Communication Design from
Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. After receiving his degree
in 2001, he moved to New York City, where he worked as a graphic
designer. He then moved to San Francisco to pursue a Master's in
Animation at the Academy of Art. While taking the foundation
classes for his MFA, he found a true passion in painting, and
returned to New York City to the studio of Jacob Collins at the
Water Street Atelier and began his classical painting training in
2007. In 2010, he finished his studies and began teaching at the
Guild Atelier in Brooklyn, New York.
Casey's work touches on more than simplistic, rigid realism. There
is a haunting, nearly literary quality to each frame. A feeling
that subjects are viewed from behind rain-kissed, mottled glass,
burnished by enigmatic candlelight, or brushed by the soft, hazy
edges of a half-remembered dream. His works are classically styled,
but progressive in approach--fine, somber details, rendered with a
clear, meticulous eye, and yet, subdued with a gentle, melancholic
focus. Casey is the author of The Art of Still Life and the
recipient of several awards. Most recently, he won first place two
years in a row in the Portrait Society of America Members Only
Competition, and first place in oil painting from the Allied
Artists of America, in 2015. His work can be found in collections
throughout the United States, and exclusively on the East Coast at
Rehs Contemporary Gallery, in Midtown New York City. Casey lives in
New York with his wife, Gina, and baby daughter, Scarlett.
'In The Oil Painter's Color Handbook, Todd Casey presents priceless information that every art school should teach and every art student should learn. The book breaks down the subject of color into useful pieces of knowledge that painters can put into practice. He analyzes color in terms of light, value, pigment, mixing strategies, palette arrangements, and painting techniques. Each topic is clearly and succinctly explained in the text, illustrated with captions, charts, diagrams, and finished paintings. By the end of the book, the reader will have a clear understanding of how realist painters and illustrators have used color through history.' - James Gurney, artist and author 'This is the most impressive and complete book on color ever produced. It covers a wide range of color concepts, including some I'd never seen before. It digs deeply into color harmony, techniques, and has powerful examples to demonstrate every concept.' - Eric Rhoads, Publisher, Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine 'A scrumptiously beautiful and informative book about color.' - Artists Magazine
