Gordon J. Schafer

Gordon Schafer has dedicated over four decades to the world of fine art and photography. His journey began with drawing and painting, eventually leading him to explore the realm of photography. Growing up in a small town near the Mexican border in Southern California, Gordon's artistic roots were deeply embedded in his surroundings.

While attending Boise State University, Gordon's primary focus was not to obtain a degree, but to immerse himself in the history of various art forms and be surrounded by like-minded individuals. He continues to draw inspiration from fellow artists and their creations, constantly seeking out new perspectives and techniques to enhance his own work.

Gordon's photos reflect his fascination with the hidden details within each scene he captures, as well as his desire to provide viewers with a fresh and unique perspective. He believes that true art lies in the context and mood of a subject, rather than the subject itself. Some of his most cherished pieces feature elements that are intentionally out of focus, showcasing his unconventional approach to photography.

The essence of expressionism and the pursuit of the "unexpected" are prevalent themes in Gordon's recent works. By exploring the beauty in everyday scenes that often go unnoticed, he invites viewers to see the world from a different angle. For those looking to enhance their home or office decor with captivating prints that spark curiosity and imagination, Gordon Schafer's photography is a must-have.
