 | Tension dominates the romantic landscapes of Jeff Aeling. At once solid and weighted, these paintings continue to maintain the presence of grace and beauty. With close attention to the subtle, changeable effects of light, Aeling gives mass to his objects of nature while preserving their mystery. Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | In my “Forgotten Memories” series, I depict the untold stories from long forgotten photographs. I paint these images on wood panels with oil paints, using a considerable amount of white space with the images cropped out of their environment, creating a sense of unbalance and emphasizing the need to focus on the individual’s memory, rather than the whole picture. White areas from the images blend with the negative spaces of the panel to create tension... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | My work is almost always figurative. It's just what I find most interesting. And challenging. Once you allow yourself to concentrate so fully on one subject you will be able to explore the other aspects of painting, which is really what I love. The brushwork, the edges and color combinations allow me to maintain my sense of design. I also paint wet, which allows the paint to move easily throughout the canvas. I always try...

 | The paintings I create exist in a fantastical world of possibility. I want these images of pigment and oil to be beautiful and emotional, full of life and imagination.
There is a narrative thread that hangs loosely enough for the viewer to grasp and enter the painting. My intent is for a dialogue to develop between the viewer and the painted world, an unspoken conversation that will last a spell. Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Margit J. Füreder is a passionate painter, and has a seismograph behind the walls of her studio, which exactly registers the vibrations of time.
Füreder takes most of the motives out of TV images and keeps them firmly in filmic connections, which are quite moments. On this working process the artist uses conventional instruments like a camera or a computer, to edit the image. Her own perception of the captured moment determines the transformation from...

 | Being a Mixed Media Artist, I primarily depend on the found or discarded object to achieve the elements of color, shape and texture that are so important in my work. By assembling the discarded objects into a new format, a new juxtaposition, there is a "Sense of Salvation" in giving these objects, which were once lost or forgotten, a new life. Ultimately my work is about: CONSTRUCTION (the object in its original state) and DECONSTRUCTION... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | During November-December of 2009, Jack Gerber was proudly included in the celebration show “150 Years and More” at The Philadelphia Sketch Club, and was shown with Rockwell Kent, Paul Wescott, N.C. Wyeth, Thomas Eakins, Benton Spruance and Daniel Garber, among others.“Jack Gerber reveals an artist who found his voice early in his career, creating a world of intensely colored figures in enigmatic spaces that look familiar but it’s not the world we know. Benton Spruance,... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | From the epics of Peter Paul Rubens to the sublime graphics of Mondrian, Donato Giancola's oil paintings mine classical draftsmanship, narration, and aesthetics of composition to lay a foundation rich in historical associations. Italian figuration, Baroque lighting and Flemish perspectives merge with the power of modern color field theory and post-modern narrative concepts to create convincing illusions and contemplative stories. The power of myth is a favorite inspirational source drawn upon by Donato to create... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | My work is often characterized by a tension between subconscious concepts and deliberate execution.
For me, painting is a vehicle with which to explore the psyche. Chance and free association are ready doors to explore one’s condition. I feel akin to the Dadaists and Surrealists in their fear of the tyranny of the obvious and the conscious.
As a consequence, I divide into two personalities when working. First is the Zen artist who comes up with the... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | The self-portrait confronts the viewer with an outward representation of the inner self. Here is the exterior as seen by the interior.
The self-portrait as a character introduces a further element. While the self-portrait implies that the artist is showing us the truth, a representation of the exterior in disguise conveys the impossibility and doubleness of this endeavor.
Through the seemingly private world of self-portraiture and autobiographical narrative, I hope to present a compelling fictive world, without... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Devorah Jacoby is an abstract/figurative painter. Her sources of inspiration are her own life experiences, nature and the objects of everyday life that surround her. Color, texture and patterns also fascinate her and are a characteristic theme that is frequently present in her work.
Ms. Jacoby feels that painting has enabled her to reflect upon her environment with a sensitive perspective and uses the oil paint's rich fullness, versatility and body to help with her vision.... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Andrea Kowch (b. 1986) was born in Michigan, where she received her BFA at the College for Creative Studies. Largely self-taught and influenced by the work of American Masters and the Old Masters of the Renaissance, her paintings and illustrations are best known for their rich symbolism, mood, and control of medium, leading her to be described as a “powerful voice emerging, demonstrating a highly sensitive consciousness that informs a culturally laced symbolism.”The stories and...

 | Russell Noto was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania and remained in the greater area until receiving a BA from Keystone College in 2009. While earning his bachelors degree he was applying what he was learning in the studio to various art experiences outside of the classroom. He completed two large format paintings for the Scranton Parking Authority’s Permanent Collection from 2006–2007, along with various other community service and art related projects during his undergraduate experience. In... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | I see my current work as the truth bent to perfection. Set within a meticulously designed world of vanity, beauty, intense color and abundant pattern, recent works evoke a carefully crafted stage rather than the happenstance of real life. Echoing fairy tales, Dutch genre paintings of the 17th century, and overly sentimental 19th century literature, these paintings illustrate adolescent girls and young women in scenes that play on Romantic notions such as the peril of...

 | "I was born to paint. Nothing was ever as compelling for me as picking up a brush, and reaching for a tube of paint. The choice came later. Searching for the connection between heart and soul, intellect and skill, and the ability to put it together, has been my life long journey. Creating a piece of art that satisfies me completely is a challenge and offers me the ultimate frustration with the pursuit of the... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | I was born a month late. Momma said I was comfortable in her womb. I was not ready for life. She was right. Understanding the place I come from culturally and spiritually has always been the dominant theme in my work.
Tennessee Williams described Southern Gothic as, “An intuition of an underlying dreadfulness in modern experience.” Nothing is more provocative, more esoteric to me than my own blood, and I am fascinated by the pejorative stereotyping... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Recently I have been interested in early natural history art from the era now referred to as the Age of Discovery. From Maria Sibylla Merian in the 17th century to John James Audubon in the 19th century, many artists painstakingly and accurately illustrated the newly discovered natural world, giving their audience a scientific and aesthetic understanding of these new and exotic discoveries. Concurrent with the Age of Discovery was the idea of a Cabinet of... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | The idea of studying at a “French Academy” in the United States is entrenched in cross-cultural pollination. I intend to manufacture cultural reliquaries, artifacts and social curiosities that represent the cultural tapestry of the Caribbean and the wider “new world,” using mediums and other agents of the old world.

 | The treatment of space both culturally and physically is one of the greatest human experiences taken for granted. Spaces are transformed by those who inhabit them. It is for this reason that the American Landscape today has been so greatly abused. What we are left with are the physical remains of an ongoing struggle for power. These Landscrapes serve as a common ground between distressed and sublime spaces at the mercy of human encroachment.
Because... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Bart Vargas is from Bellevue, Nebraska. For over a decade, he has been exploring the artistic potential of trash and recyclable materials. Using pattern, repetition and form, he builds paintings, sculptures, and installations that blur the identity of these everyday materials, transforming them into playful, thought-provoking objects. Vargas wants his creations to act as artifacts and evidence of the early 21st century, and hopes to do so by using materials that are no longer needed... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Change is the most consistent circumstance during my study abroad. I feel I’m more like a witness who is “made in China” experiencing the chemical effect with the “western culture”. Through this, I found my horizon has become broader. During this experience I gradually found my new way through the special “chemical reaction” in the new area and the endless changing of my painting. My paintings are the outlets of my flashbacks and never answered... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
