Artists Describing Their Art:
Mrs. Mathew Sumich - Mathew Sumich passed away in late 2012. His work is available through Judith Sumich or the Michael H. Lord Gallery, Palm Springs, CA. The following statement is in his own words The focus of my work - whether non-commissioned or commissioned - is to work with basic elements such as line, form, color, texture, etc., and to apply them to the principles of design, e.g., dealing with proportion, subordination, rhythm, balance, opposition, transition, harmony and contour continuation, and to deal with different media, e.g., steel, glass, paint, wood, cement, etc., and to find potential uses of the media, taking into consideration its use in the environment in which it is to be located. My interests have always been with line and plane i?1/2 the first elements of drawing. Line creates plane, plane creates depth, plane can advance or recede by the use of color. My art is fundamental, basic, simple design principles in action. Using structural design principles and having a good understanding of the environment, I am able to take any media i?1/2 steel, glass, wood, clay, canvas i?1/2 and create 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, or 4 dimensional adding the dimension of time objects. The final form, be it a painting, ...
Jan-Thomas Olund - I am a Swedish artist who is inspired by the minimalist and the japanese Wabi-sabi. I work with various materials to create my art. I strive to create works that evoke emotion and invite viewers to contemplate their deeper meanings. I take great pride in my work and enjoy experimenting with different techniques and materials to create unique pieces. My artwork typically has a subtle, tranquil aesthetic, but I also enjoy exploring more expressive themes. I hope to continue to hone my craft and create meaningful works that connect with viewers....
Oscar Pedreros - As an artist I produce concepts, associations and links related to the new informalism, conceptualism and experimental art. Social analysis and criticism, current cultural and local elements, symbols and chronicles, makes abstraction even more abstract. Most of my work represents my reaction to the chaos in which we find ourselves, both global and personal, from the view point of a Colombian, from a society where this has been an everyday reality over many years, but who has the perspective of having lived, studied and worked in North America and the Far East. As such, my art resonates, graphically and emotionally, with recent events Bataclan,Paris-Orlando,Florida which have brought this reality home to us. Most of my work questions the actuality of the world we live in, and are forced to accept, with its chaos, violence, corruption power-structures, power-seeking, wars, extremes of wealth and poverty, famines and excessive consumption, egocentricity and generosity, hatreds and loves, and its prejudices and openness it also questions what the future has store for us, if any future there be. Paintings, sculptures, photography, installations and assemblages show a close relationship with my personal, architectural and urban experience. I use industrial paint, raw ...
Elisaveta Sivas - IWe are Creator in the human body. aEURoeKnow thyself and you shall know the Universe and the Gods,aEUR is the Ancient Greek aphorism. A person who has realized that she is Creator creates a beautiful new world instead of the chaos and suffering which is created by the Ego-mind. Peace in every head and heart means peace on Earth. The role of the artist of the future is to heal the trauma of the anthropocene, discovered and exposed by the predecessors. Healed inside, a person is no longer isolated she feels oneness with the Universe and acquires antifragility. Deepening the philosophical ideas of cosmism and avatarism, I chose to be the conductor of the new spiritual Knowledge and through my art to help humanity to go through initiation into awareness, to choose a harmonious version of the future. Through my sculptures, I strive to give a person an incentive for a breakthrough, a flight to a new self. My style inherits the geometricity, abstract form and magical spirit of the Cycladic nude figures-idols, through the prism of the modernist tradition rethinks the reticence and geometric abstraction of Brancusis and ModiglianiaEURtms abstract sculpture, and, echoing Chagalls naivety, primitivism ...
