Artists Describing Their Art:
John Peter Glover - At its foundation, my work uses a linear element as the basis for the composition. The intended result is to suggest or convey the essence of an object(s) in a vague manner often wrapped in an expressive emotional context. Based on a vast supply of my own drawings as a primary resource, I compound and refine the images until I'm satisfied that I have the right combination. Often, this is a matter of using layer upon layer of a building process within the image area. The subject or theme is certainly contemporary. I consider it to be more sensual than it is political, yet expressive, somewhat akin to the expressionistic style of the mid-twentieth century moderns. The work is also more surreal than representational. I work both with traditional mediums (acrylic on canvas) as well as with digital tools. Regardless of the medium the central concept or message is never a "slave" to the medium. The images will assume a varied appearance or "complexion" depending the medium . Although I find that the digital work in general is not always understood in terms of it's archival integrity, I can assure my buyers that my work is always ...
Alexandre Nodopaka - 1. To portray ideas in a fresh style, but most important I was Born for Art, I Live for Art and will die for Art. 2. Abstraction in art is the greatest spiritual meditation & an ideal cerebral masturbation. 3. Photography killed representational art some 150 years ago. The computer killed abstract art. Today, thousands abstracts can be created in a day, they may be worth a thousand words but not a penny! 1. Pour peindre des idees dans un style frais, mais plus important je suis ne pour l'Art, je vis pour l'art et mourrai pour l'art. 2. L'abstraction dans l'art est la plus grande meditation spirituelle & une masturbation cerebrale ideale. 3. La photographie a tue l'art figuratif il y a quelques 150 annees et l'ordinateur a tue l'art abstrait. Aujourd'hui, des milliers d'art abstrait peuvent etre crees dans un jour... ils peuvent valoir mille mots mais pas un centime! 1. Para retratar las ideas en un estilo fresco, pero mas importantes de que era nacido para Art, vivo para Art y morire por Art. 2. El caracter abstracto en el ...
James Simpson - Howdy! Sandpainting is an Ancient Art known across the Globe. My introduction to the Art was through contact with the Dine` of the Southwest United States. I met Joe Ben Jr. in Northern New Mexico in 1984 and was Honored to assist him in searching for pigments to complete a group of Sandpaintings for the Indian Fair in Santa Fe. Along the way, i picked up the essentials of Sandpainting and found my niche in this very traditional Art. My Paintings do not reflect the Way of the Navajo, but do use Southwest Themes and utilise various Gems and Minerals which are collected by Hand....
Sonja Svete - The form as a dwelling of human spirit. Primary medium: soft pastels on paper. Figurative-abstract transactions made in very controlled manner. Colors are very personal, drawing is cleaned of all unfunctional details. My first pastel series was born during last year of studying fine arts like the fastest way to catch the idea of form for latter printmaking. These were static human figures captured in circle form, representing complex emotions. I named that Series'Mater Magna' because of the obvious archetypes this forms represented. With time they lost that symbolic meaning and eventually become just abstract body fragments, with my interest more focused on the correlation between shapes and colours. With time that evolved in this last Series I named'Joie de Vivre' or just'Joy' (of Life). In the same technique and manner, these stylized figures are liberated of their symbolic meanings or complex psychological heritage. They now exist in the space of colors - they attend to just be in it and be it at the same time. Here all my previous endeavors evolved in unrecognizable, abstract forms expanding in space. Finally, feeling of the human spirit being set free. Secondary medium: acrylic painted reliefs in cardboard or ...

Philip Winestone - The image is EVERYTHING - so words should never be needed to define it or what it says. The photographs, drawings and monotypes of Philip Winestone are thoroughly minimalist and non-contextual, relying only on the play of light on the subject and the strength of the subject itself to communicate their respective messages....
