Artists Describing Their Art:
Ron Zilinski - I have been drawing designs for thirty years. I first took an interest in spirograph but couldn't get used to the cog wheels. I doodled at first with 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper. Everyone wanted me to make them a design. I drew designs on a bigger scale and now draw on 22" by 28" poster paper. My drawings will take a minimum of 80 hours to complete. Some design drawings take me over 100 hours to complete. This type of artwork leaves no room for errors. Imagine drawing for 60 hours and make a mistake, it will show up in the drawing. There is no way to draw these designs fast and an incredible amount of determination is needed to complete a drawing. You must really enjoy it or it won't work out. Please look at my two NEW YORK MEMORIAL drawings on my website. They were drawn in memory of September 11/01. I use pens in my drawings. It is called Pen Art. I am currently looking for an agent who will handle my artwork, please contact artist. All my Originals are available for sale with the rights to them. The Originals can ...
Dario Raffaele Orioli - A painting, statue or other work of art speaks best for itself, without superfluous words, but to say a few words about my opinion about art. Art allows us to live, differently at different periods stages of life. Different already in character, temperament of each individual. Through art I seek man Of course, many painters run away from looking for a man because it is a painstaking job, so it is easier for them to end up in abstractions, concepts, etc. under the pretext that it is modern. Abstraction is a trip to the unknown, but after many years of such a trip to the unknown, one gets tired and realizes that he needs the peace and stability he can find in the knowledge of the world around him, which is right outside of him and if he knows how to look, he can think through it enjoy it here and now There is a saying that every living being is a snapshot of nature towards man, this can be applied to art ....Any abstraction is an artists shot at figuration.... Of course it can be the other way around, but what a world this would be if it were ...

Timothy King - ARTIST STATEMENT and BIOGRAPHY STATEMENT I find painting goes beyond the notion that painted reality is "nothing but " a precursor to a photographic realism. Painting is a phenomenological experiment. There is a synthesis between the visual and the kinesthetic that forms a powerful third range of human perception. Human space and form are not purely optical manifestations. The painting of mass and line can provoke a muscle sense, a physical ness between viewer and the painted relationships. Hans Hoffman called this "Push-Pull". Matisse referred to this as the convexity of pictorial space. In this "meta-vision" or "minds-eye" the painter is not freed from the experience of perspective and local color and the naturalistic geometry of the objects and scenes. Rather, the painter can be liberated by the experience and knowledge of the defining aspects of human reality. Vision encompasses the obvious factors of sight along with other less obvious paths to sensing reality. Human vision is based on a plasticity of structures that tell us more than what a photograph can convey. The visual system, governed by layers of logical relationships, goes much further than a photo interpretation of reality. Painters like Courbet and Cezanne understood ...
Peter Illig - I look for images that are metaphors for our life experiences: love, desire, and making art. These paintings and drawings contain narrative content and ask questions about social issues and the swirl of images we are surrounded by. Once, the task of the artist was to portray and interpret the 'real world.' Now it is to determine if there even is a reality behind the appearance of things. It appears, more and more, that reality is created by observation. This search through the 'stuff' of the world, matter and flesh, is inherently erotic. So is the act of painting. The material world pulls at us and it seems we are always troubled with desire for it. It is our essence; we seek the spiritual through it. The visible world is the key, the path, to the invisible world. But it is 'desire' that clouds the seeking. I don't renounce matter but immerse myself to find the spiritual behind it. The edges of things and places interest me, the transition areas. I have been thinking about the 'inter-connectedness' of things, the Uncertainty Principle, the fact that there may be no'deep reality' underneath the appearances of objects, that traces ...
