 | 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 » |
 | 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...

 | Contemporary artist born in Buenos Aires on April 3, 1957, the middle generation has exhibited in galleries, museums and cultural centers, international art fairs, etc... For more than 30 years. His work is based on a strong imprint of synchronicity and connection to what he calls the dimension of the infinite frequency of no time. His works appeal to beauty, not from the intellectual construct but as something that just happens, appealing to the idea... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | In 2005 I began to make a series of portraits which had my small daughter Laura as the main figure and which differ radically from photographic realism, from which I take the objectivity without rejecting connotations of its idealistic, anecdotal and sentimental character.
Undressed, winged, wrapped up in vestments or costumes made of old boards, remains of walls, metals and other materials commonly used for poor houses in Havana, the "lauras" are different conceptions of the... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Paul Ecke is a mid-career painter of contemporary non-figurative and figurative works on canvas and panel. His works are an amalgam of color, texture and movement achieved through application of oil and acrylic paints to canvas, all applied by brush, hand and even trowel. The results are magnificent, colorful, thought and emotion- provoking images that convey the inner strength, conviction and complexity of the artist.
Paul Ecke was educated at California State University, Fullerton, receiving degrees... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Each drawing and painting shows my mistakes, failures, struggles and above all my successes; each is a reflection, a reflection that I can change, one which I am creating, and for this reason the strokes, lines and values show who I am, what I could be and how much I could achieve. Creating something then becomes a process or dialogue to transform each line, value and form into what I want it to be. It... More » 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...

 | 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 » |
 | 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 » |
 | Steven Kenny was born in Peekskill, New York in 1962. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1984. His final year of art school was spent studying independently in Rome. This direct exposure to European art (especially the Baroque works of the Italian, Dutch and Flemish schools) had a significant effect on his painting style.
First settling in New York City, he gained notoriety as a freelance... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | The stories and inspiration behind my paintings stem from life’s emotions and experiences, resulting in narrative, allegorical imagery that illustrates the parallels between human experience and the mysteries of the natural world. The lonely, desolate American landscape encompassing the paintings’ subjects serves as an exploration of nature’s sacredness and a reflection of the human soul, symbolizing all things powerful, fragile, and eternal. These real yet dreamlike scenarios serve as metaphors for the human condition, all... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Jacques is a born print maker. Ten years ago he had a life altering experience, and found his calling. Jacques draws all of his images from life. He must have an up close and personal experience with his subjects. In doing so he captures the soul of each character. The images are surrounded, by detailed patterning which enhance each piece of art, with a depth and richness, unique to this process. Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Yanina (Yana) Movchan was born in Kiev in 1971.
Yana’s sublime mastery of the technique and structure of Renaissance painting combines with the instinctive symbolism of “magical realism” to create a personal neo-realist idiom. Her work is formal, yet playful; contemporary, yet timeless; and joyous, yet mysterious, evocative and dreamlike.
In Yana’s paintings, the intellectual and the emotional synthesize to form images that touch the viewer’s heart whilst issuing a challenge: there are deeper meanings... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | My desire to explore the human experience via the metaphor of landscape led me to include figures within nature. I hope that the viewer reads these as metaphysical senses of place. The natural landscape serves as a backdrop to moments of human action, but the emotions conveyed tap into grand, universal themes. I cast my models as archetypes and they in some way have lived these roles. On reflection, I realize that these cinematic paintings... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | This body of work examines the culture of blue-collar, middle-class individuals returning to the hometowns and neighborhoods that they originally attempted to escape. Each portrait reveals the connect and disconnect between suburban landscapes and their residents, while also presenting questions such as “What has my life become?” and “What will everyone think of me now?“
Conveying portraiture against the repetitive quality of the cookie-cutter houses that surrounded this social group is my effort to present the... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | It would never occur to me to make what I already know. I am no illustrator of long expired fevers, merely revamping the dialogue of the past. Art has a particular glow nothing in life ever can. Upon it the language of desire materializes absolute, total. Empty one world and exchange it for a new sultry vision, more voluptuous. Life is such a meager substitute. You cannot pocket it, cannot discard it. Art... 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...

 | Fran Recacha reminds us of the European Vanguards, such as the Futurists -- once they adopted the techniques of the Cubists artists, but focused of the movement instead of the static analytical works. Fran particularly loves the works of Josep de Togores, who enjoyed Realism, Surrealism and Cubism, and who has influenced him greatly. Notably is the influence and direction that Fran's pictorial world has taken. The symbolist painter Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre and... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | "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 currently share my world with several dozen paintings, three university courses that I teach, three young children, and one husband.
I am kept running a path through my day. The way is patched with detours, but the perimeters are permanent. However, in the center of the labyrinth perches a blank canvas. It is my empty orchestra.
My work may seem to parody old masterpieces. I create a theatre and people it with an ornate cast: queens,... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | I paint pictures. I've been born with an innate requirement to create, and by circumstance paint is the vehicle I have chosen to utilize. At the easel there is meditation on a level of insanity that takes place. Think of three dimensional chess, and you might begin to see it. Sometimes I praise it, sometimes I scapegoat. It's a yin and yang thing going on. Whatever it is, there is a drive to get... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | Maggie Taylor received her BA degree in philosophy from Yale University in 1983 and her MFA degree in photography from the University of Florida in 1987. After more than ten years as a still-life photographer, she began to use the computer to create her images in 1996. Her work is featured in Adobe Photoshop Master Class: Maggie Taylor’s Landscape of Dreams, published by Adobe Press in 2005; Solutions Beginning with A, Modernbook Editions, Palo Alto,...

 | 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 there... 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 » |

He then finished his BFA at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he graduated with honors after receiving full scholarships based on academic excellence and multiple awards for his artwork.
Tyler recently graduated from the New York Academy of Art where he received rigorous traditional training in painting, drawing and artistic anatomy. While... More » Click to view this artist’s work » |
 | My art is primarily inspired by antique objects or materials either found or purchased. On occasion this has required me to travel throughout Europe and the United States to find exactly what I need. When a particular object inspires me, I create a theme and produce 20 or more pieces. This fashion of working comes from my earlier career as an award winning illustrator for the New York Times as well as a variety of... 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 » |
