Artists Describing Their Art:

Alex Potts - I make art to engage, delight and intrigue the public. The public's delight should span from the enjoyment of external beauty to a fulfilling pleasure that results from engaging with a meaningful concept. In making art that satisfies audiences on many levels, I strive to seamlessly combine form, concept, architecture, scale, aesthetics and accessibility. I create sound sculptures for intimate and large-scale environments. Each sound sculpture is designed around the characteristics, function and sentiment of the environment in which it is to live. I create scores of subtle ambient sound that fit the environment harmoniously. Additionally, I capture live sound from the environment, distill it to its resonant essence, and mix it into the soundtrack. To the audience's pleasure, the sound sculpture is alive and responsive to its environment. ...

Jan Harrison - A close connection with the animal nature has helped me to have more empathy with all manifestations of the life force, and to express the complex experience of what it is to be here as a flesh and blood being. As long as I can remember, I have loved animals and felt a kinship with them. I live with five cats, all rescued strays, and one feral. They are an inspiration to me, and I learn from them. Emotion has always played a part in my work, as well as the kind of mythology that comes from the body's sensual and spiritual desires, something felt in the bones and cells. I am concerned about the need for love in a world that does not respect vulnerability. I am also concerned about the need for self respect in a world that seems to disrespect the power of the life force. I am working for my character, and my work is concerned with the paradox of the power of nature with regard to our own sense of order or justice. Through communion with the animal nature, I am interested in the integration of instinct and intellect, knowledge and innocence, power and ...

Leah Oates - My current body of work explores the passage of time and the fragmentation of memory during the moment of perceiving. In each moment hundreds of small gestures are expressed, motions taken, words spoken, sounds heard, and images recorded. I use the impression of these moments by condensing, grouping, double exposing and blurring images and found objects and thus have constructed a more fluid and emotionally charged interpretation of passing time. By presenting a fuller and more abstract recording of perception and emotion my work captures the wonder, confusion and fullness of the whole moment. My work begins in a specific location gathering fragments of sound, image, smell and emotional response to environment and space. I collect and accumulate many images and found objects based on time spent in a specific location. From this collection process I make a series works that include artists' books, digital prints, c-prints, light boxes, installations and sculpture. This process of working through an idea is similar to alchemy as I let the work and my research guide me. ...

Suzanne Painter - I am a self-taught artist, learning portraiture from my mother at a young age. I am still in favor of charcoal when drawing portraits because of the ease of application, and the intensity of values. Charcoal gives me depth that pencils lack. As I progressed in my exploration of color, I experimented with oils, acrylics, and watercolor. Although I love the fresh, crispness of watercolor, I have yet to master the medium. Acrylics are wonderful for coverage,and intense color. They dry quickly, and when that's needed, I love acrylics. But I truly love oil paints. I love the smell, the feel, and the beautiful look that oil paints produce. I love the way I can blend and smear the paint to produce the desired atmosphere or emotion within the painting. My favorite colors are French Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Red and Yellow, Brown Madder, Indian Red and Yellow, and Burnt/Raw Sienna and Umber. I mix 1 part to 3 parts Stand Oil to Linseed Oil for my painting medium. I live in the central valley of California, and enjoy traveling throughout the western states for inspiration. I maintain my own website as well as websites for other...

Annalee Burnstein - The human body is a fascinating machine. Our internal organs are amazing components that are constantly hard at work keeping us alive. Most people do not even think about what is going on inside of them all the time. Many people do not even know what some of our internal organs look like. What is even worse is that most people cringe at the sight of internal organs even if they are just drawings. This is a travesty. Internal organs are physically beautiful, and they work in amazing ways to sustain us. As a society, we have been conditioned to have a self-hatred when it comes to our organs. In my work, I take internal organs and place them in settings to make the viewer take a second look, to make people see that what we are physically made of is not gross but very aesthetically beautiful. I also use organs not just as a reflection of what we are physically made of but also as a metaphor to describe what else makes us up. The internal organs are almost placeholders for what makes each person unique. We are all basically made of the same thing, but each of ...

Inge Van Der Meulen - Somehow mankind needs the expression of art; art may provide hope to the ones who need it, it can embrace and support the heart of the ones that don't feel understood any other way, art can bring us passed the limit of words... Kunst kan een gevangen ziel bevrijden, het kan de limiet van woorden overschrijden... Your comments, statements etc. will always be interesting te me, and I hope that my expessions at least will bring you the joy of watching......

Marisa Keller - Full time Dutch artist Marisa Keller lives and works in Singapore since 1993. Trained as a painter she was always interested in printmaking and started to produce colour woodcuts in the early nineties. During this time she decided to follow the Master of Fine Arts program of RMIT University at LaSalle-SIA, College of the Arts with a main focus on printmaking. Other techniques like video installations were introduced into her practice and now she is dedicated to push further the bounderies between printmaking and other media. Marisa Kellers works can be found in private and corporate collectors in Singapore and around the world. She taught printmaking from 2001 to 2006 at LaSalle-SIA College of the Arts in Singapore. Recently she is busy creating new works and conducting courses in her new non-toxic printmaking studio . "All my work evolves around human relationships to the natural world and how different time frames are important to our experiences . A recent series of prints I started with the idea of the horizontal line that represents the space where one natural element changes into another. These changes also relate to the process of working and reworking the etching and other plates ...

Tirzo Martha - The material doesn't need to be filled with words. It speaks for itself. It is our consciousness that has to translate it for us. My work is a loyal mirror of our societies, a reflection of a fragment from the thin line between fiction and reality. Tirzo Martha 2004...

Ana Marini Genzon - Personal Statement My art is about people and the way they experience their lives. I intend for my artwork to reflect emotions and thoughts. While creating sculptures and paintings, I try to suggest a story, not only of the moment but also of an entire life. Not only of what we can see, but what is invisible to the eyes. Art is always a mirror. That is why it is so powerful. It speaks not only about my subject, but also speaks about my perceptions. In the process of expressing the mood of the subject's substance, I constantly go deep inside myself searching for answers about human relations in this fast and ever changing world. My work is a conversation in color inspired by the intricacies of nature. Through my paintings I explore texture, color and process. Texture is a significant component of my work as my goal is to create a surface, not just paint one. Education Ana studied art at The National Institute of Fine Arts Manuel Belgrano where she earned a BFA and at the National Academy of Fine Arts Pridiliano Pueyrredon in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she graduated with an MFA. Upon her arrival ...

Frank Shifreen - My art is about the power of the image to bypass the limitations of the self, controlled through language and its paradigms. The image is a life raft. The connection of the seer to the seen is the same as self to other , or me to you. Images, whether they be paintings, digital works or videos are gestalts, and embody identity. My art is about figure and ground that is transformed in many ways- materials, subject and meaning. I am a situationist and believe that art can create new paradigms for the future. It is a protected frame of content that can carry meaning, experimental ideas and projections. I have been a painter and sculptor, and still work in those media, but my primary form is now digital art and video, or hybrid combination. Besides being an artist, I have curated and organized many exhibitions, in New York. The Monumental Shows, Terminal Show (Co-curator), Pan Arts, Plexus. Recently curated "From the Ashes" 911 Memorials and "Ground Zero" at the Detroit Museum of New Art, and Freyberger Gallery - Penn State Berks Campus I am a Doctoral Candidate in Art and Art Education at Columbia University Teachers College...
