Schlicting' s multi layered work has its roots in the abstract forms of nature. Whether executed in watercolor or acrylic, his works are best typified by the highly textural surfaces he creates as a backdrop for his paintings. By manipulating and pushing the paint, he has shown incredible sensitivity to the medium. Schlicting’s compositions are typically as varied as his painting techniques, though most reference architecture and is set beside striking landscapes. He incorporates images that both control our ideas of shelter and protection, as well as images that are infused with the simplistic beauty of our natural surroundings. Schlicting’s work is strongly influenced by his extensive world travels which saturate his pieces with vivid color and the vibrant culture of foreign lands.
