Artists Describing Their Art:

Jake Baddeley - All is proportion I am sitting, a cup of tea, some good music, a brush in hand and i am gone. There is nothing better: I forget where I am, who I am, and all sense of time. As Picasso once said: "I leave my body outside the studio." Or something like that... I am working on a picture of a lady on a mechanical horse. Why? What is the significance of that? I have no idea. If it "works" pictorially, then do it. Paint first, ask questions later. Too many questions and the muse runs screaming. She is very shy. You have too pretend that she is not there when she comes, but you know she is there because you have no idea what time it is, and you have forgotten your self again. It occurs to me as I proceed, that the lines stop being objects and start to become something else. Pure proportion. Just a harmony of lengths, sizes, and shapes; a prototype Mondrian. Harmony, music, interval, number; all these things are related. It is the link between art, music, and science. A good painting vibrates, because of the resonance of its parts. Vibrates visually, and psychologically...

Werner Hornung - In my work, accident is the nucleus of visual propagation with multidirectional trajectories. Like an unpredictable game where each random move generates a new relational order and a new sub context on the whole. The game only ends when you don't surprise anymore playing it. JD Jarvis wrote in his latest book "Going Digital" about my work: "His images utilize nearly all the manipulation, painting, and digital techniques available. The synthesis of tools, process and styles shows the way to an expressive and versatile new way to make art." ...

Jim Lively - Whether portrayed in the abstract, realism, or somewhere in between, I am most influenced by both the beautiful and unattractive components of contemporary urban culture. Many times, one painting will reflect both components. My art tends to focus upon interesting juxtapositions of close-up images of human faces. Often, the larger images border upon realism and are caught expressing a panoply of emotions usually directed at the other images that share the canvas. Several of my recent works such as the tongue in cheek entitled "Lenin and Things" contain unlikely combinations of images such as a statue of Lenin which is dwarfed by a billboard size fashion model displaying a vacuous stare. A number of works contain both large images and interrelated small images. For example in the painting "Staring at Natalie", all the smaller images are a depiction of a collective group of voyeurs staring at a larger image of a posed fashion model. I want those viewing the painting to be the ultimate voyeur. The viewer is not only drawn initially to the larger image in its own right but also cannot help but then notice the relationship of the smaller images to the large image. Works displayed ...
