Indrani Ghosh - Texture, dimension, color, and good design are the basis for my work. I am inspired by nature, travel, colors of Nature, Architecture, City and Villages. I work on expressionistic acrylic paintings and impressionistic oil paintings. They are often explosive with color, depth, and texture. While light and architecture play an important part in how I create a sense of place, I also use color and texture as a way to provoke strong emotions. I hope a viewer of my paintings can connect, discover, explore, and take on a journey....

Chris Oldham - My new photo work is a reflection on Nature and the absorbing beauty within natural forms and patterns. The hypnotic quality of the images is something which appeals to me and reminds me of gateways and portals into natural wonders. The branch of Psychology studying empirical aesthetics and Rorschachs Ink blot methods interests me and this work is a response to these ideas. I make fine art photos to investigate the question can art make you feel good The balance of my compositions pleases the human eye and reflecting the images amplifies the geometry within nature and reveals its beautiful complexity. Our inner selves recognize the connection between us and nature and responds to this, we recieve an auratic it fills the well of goodness inside and this responds by making us feel better.

Matthew Sudlow - For years I have dreamed of expressing the natural splendor of bonsai in the ancient medium of bronze. Of the three-legged stool that comprises my work sculpture, bronze and bonsai, I honestly could not tell you which leg fascinates me the most. Few words can express the joy that I have found in trying to create an amalgam of these three fantastic disciplines. This pursuit, which at times has felt more like an obsession, has enabled me to create something very reminiscent and familiar but at the same time entirely fresh and new. I am a self-educated artist who has become knowledgeable in many methods of bronze manufacture. The sheer complexity of the work and my unwavering preference to preserve the techniques of traditional lost wax casting, has made the task a daunting one. I have found myself to be as much an amateur inventor, experimentalist, and engineer as I had ever fancied myself an artist. The presented works have been sculpted in entirety. I do not copy or aEURoedirectly burnoutaEUR any organic material but draw solely from photographed references, my imagination, and years of enthusiastic study. Special care and attention has been devoted to rendering lifelike and...
