John Hampshire - These works are a part of an ongoing body of work I started in 1995. It consists of drawings, which are labyrinths, and paintings derived from images as well as from life. The beginnings of these drawing processes do not deal directly with the image, but the breakup of the picture plane. I establish a series of gesture lines in pen; tentative glimpses translated with definite marks. This is the structure for subsequent marks. I do not allow myself (for the most part) to cross any lines or marks. In turn, initial lines act as "containers" for later lines. The result of this activity is a maze-like structure that also implies an image. I build up greater densities of marks to achieve darker values. The image I work from provides a guide to direct this activity. As the process continues the applied marks become smaller and smaller and the information brought into the drawing becomes more refined. This is a self refining process that I am continuing to push further and further with each piece. This is actually a process that started for me in high school; doodling in notebooks. Only now I have applied this mindless activity to ...

Jeanclaude Davreux - SPONSOR Blinds by Window Improvements Dear friend, I warmly thank you for the honnor that you make me while agreeing these some words inspired by your work Jean-Claude DAVREUX ? How i know it ? At one time or the Palestinian people were victim of the misinformation most skilfully assembled and the amalgams most simplistic. They were very few those which,by their feathers, their words or their brush dared to express the right history of the Palestinian people, its sufferings,its uprooting,its humanism, because they navigate against the current? But its is thanks to this small number that more and more , the collective conscience took possession of the reality of the drama palestinian. And that, nowadays, its cause is know better,better included understood. Jean-Claude Davreux forms part of these"right" which served the truth and which showed with powerfull colors the endurance of the Palestinian people. One often described it like a loner,and it be perhaps that which it have carry towards an other people solitary, ignore and often victim of prejuges.The brush of this artist have well know express the extend and ...

Claudia Nierman - Some words about my work: The images I produce are deliberately enigmatic and multi-layered. They invite the viewer to engage in the process of storytelling whereby dreaming and living are woven together as a tapestry. I find the sources for my work in the urban environment: window displays, torn posters, graffiti, broken architecture. In short, the remains of man. These objects and situations are eventually transformed by rain, sun, reflections, and shadows, as well as additions made by the passerby. Shaped by the forces of chance, these ephemeral visions are captured on film (and now also in bits and bites) and used as raw material that merge one into another forming a new identity. The result? On one hand, a strange amalgam of my preoccupation with time and memory, and on the other, the way in which the deliberate manipulaton through photographic images can give us insight into our personal and collective struggles. Technical information: I usually work in three different formats: 25 cm x 30 cm and 32 cm x 45 cm printed on cibachrome paper; and a large format of 57 cm x 80 cm, digitilizing the final image and printing it on canvas. (Since this latter ...
