Artists Describing Their Art:

Aleksandar Janicijevic - I have been developing this project [urban squares] since july 2001. it consists of an intensive collection of urban square images. the photos have been taken in more than 15 countries, stitched together as 360Es panoramas and prepared in two formats, a quicktimeVR that can be viewed as an interactive movie, and some of them in a version prepared for printing at up to 20" x 150". as an integral part of this collection a classification system was developed. there are two parts to this system: categories of the types of squares and an evaluation method. by classifying and then analyzing the elements of a square, I slowly began to realize that there is a similarity between the city and a living organism. we can treat cities as entities with collective intelligence and, with the same analogy, we can recognize a system by which the urban space communicates with us. the square, as a city's "heart and soul", has the most to say, so recently I concentrated my artistic exploration on the language of urban squares. the vocabulary of urban squares is part of a complex language of art; it is a dialect with very specific characteristics. elements have ...

Hubert Cance - "Multi-talented artist Hubert Cance has an astounding range of work, from fanciful illustrations of knights and medieval machinery to mystical, beautifully crafted paintings. Born in Aurillac, France, Cance's youthful imagination was stimulated by growing up in a house filled with books on local history, folk stories and classical culture. Following his military service, Cance worked as a freelance pattern designer for a variety of scale-modeling firms, a position that strengthened his technical skills. His concise illustrative work has been published in numerous books and periodicals from England to Japan. Cance's attention to detail is a dominant force in his paintings that is rivaled only by his boundless imagination. His audience will revel in Cance's imaginings, a world of elemental spirits, ancient forests, and epic battles. Cance is adept at capturing more delicate moments as well, such as in his landscapes of flowing pine trees or the still waters of Venice cloaked in moonlight. Hubert Cance lives and works in France." (ArtMine) "Hubert Cance is an artist with a draftsman's hand and eye. His work ranges from fantasy explorations of the worlds of mysticism and shamanism to highly formalized aviation drawings and mechanical representations. The...

A borderline case, caso entre lo normal y lo subnormal. borderline (termino psicoanalitico): caso clinico de personalidad que oscila entre varias patologias, sin tendencia a alguna en particular. "El caracter de la imagen se determina por la relacion establecida entre el adorante y el adorado" Shukrasharia. La frontera entre una cosa y otra siempre ha sido creada, por lo tanto es siempre suceptible a la destruccion. Lo hermoso puede ser grotesco de un momento a otro. La vida tiene como companera mas cercana a la muerte. Nada es forma o pura, incluso lo que supone serlo. Entre los trazos basicos de las lineas se esconde una verdad. La imagen misma de las lineas del trabajo de luis RE Borderniline -horizontales pasivas o activas verticales- nos sugiere ya la idea misma de limite. ?limite de que? Borderline, actual peldano pictorico del aritsta, sugiere marcar y desvanecer limites, y confronta tres pares de ideas, fundamentales para su poetica pictorica: 1. La imagen vs. ...
