Quent Cordair's portraiture, figuratives, landscapes and still lifes are collected by an international clientele of private and corporate buyers. The artist is entirely self-taught. His inspirations include Michelangelo, Bouguereau and Parrish. Cordair portraiture has been featured on the cover of the Atlantean Press Review. BB&T Corporation recently commissioned the artist for a work which has been installed in the company's board room in Winston-Salem, NC.
Quent works in the style of Romantic Realism, which strives to concretize a view of life as it could be and should be. His themes often convey aspects of the successful, pleasure-filled life that Man can enjoy on earth. The dramatic colors, clean lines, and hierarchy of focus in his esthetics reflect a purpose of actualizing a world as valued through a rational, passionate mind, and showing that world as both real and attainable.
The Cordair Gallery in Napa, California, comprises the artist's studio and gallery, the latter featuring his own work and the paintings and sculpture of selected artists whom he represents. Quent also writes fiction and has a number of published short stories and screenplay work to his credit. Several of Quent's short stories are now available online. And video copies of For All It's Worth, a short film co-written by Quent Cordair and directed by Greg Bowyer are available for sale.
