Bruce Ulrich - A variety of subjects, themes and aEURoeismsaEUR? inspire my paintings. In landscapes, it is the quality of light, the time of day and the mood that intrigues me and makes me want to paint. The excitement and joy of working from the model is getting it down fast, catching the gesture, the attitude, and doing it all in 20 to 30 minutes. I enjoy watching people eating, drinking and having fun, and my figurative paintings can hint at a story, but the larger goal is to find a new or unique view for the viewer. My sketchbook habit and a camera are great tools to help create these works. All the experiences and things I enjoy (food, wine, people, jazz) are grist for paintings: from collages of labels, to views of the golf courses, vineyards, people enjoying themselves, or abstracts of color, texture and emotion. The golf series are the first square format golf images I began in the winter of 2006. I challenged myself to work larger in acrylic on canvas and create movement inside the square. The courses include the Reserve, Forest Hills, the first two courses in Bandon, and the Resort at the Mountain. These are Oregon ...
John Hetzel - I try to create work that lifts viewers above everyday normalcy, and strive to find gateways to new universes in my painting. Throughout my career, I have striven to maintain artistic independence and have produced a body of work that is as eclectic as the life experiences which have forged my character. From traditional landscape and collage to efforts in abstract expressionism i dub "freestyle", my work is a living testament to two decades of an ever-seeking and evolving soul....

Morel Morton Alexander - My paintings are free associations to moments, places, emotions and memories. My language is color, forms and symbols that appear and disappear, and then, often by surprise, reappear. The process of painting is fast and slow, spontaneous and exacting, frustrating and exhilirating. I'm influenced by modernism and abstract expressionism and the play between the real and the imagined....
Theo Radic - Everyone experiences drawing and painting as children. I was perhaps one year old therefore when I was first initiated into the painter's craft. I continued these universal beginnings throughout my school years and sporadic courses in college (which gave me few insights into this art). [...] I had only myself as a teacher in the art of painting. My evolution as a painter paralleled that of art history in general, beginning with my prehistoric period as a one-year-old-clutcher-of-crayolas, groping through Egyptian and Greek periods; a Renaissance period; and then neo-classicism, romanticism and naturalism; impressionism and fauvism; cubism and abstract expressionism. At nineteen I went to Europe, thirsty for scope and depth in Art which America lacks. Having established myself in the south of France, I absorbed the emanations of the modern masters who had lived and painted there. I was profoundly moved by the bizarre snow storm over La Cote d'Azur on the night of Picasso's death. No such storm had ever been seen before in April, as old-timers in Nice told me. [...] Fully acknowledging my debt to 'abstract expressionism', I nonetheless do not consider my art'abstract' - a word ...

Ian Pepple - Artist Statement I like to subvert my own work. I investigate how shapes and colors interact and disrupt the overall work by becoming anomalies that don't quite make sense or distract from the assumed narrative. The shapes and rendered forms in my work seem as though they exist in three-dimensional space, but their functions and actions appear ambiguous. The "anomalies" are specific symbols (like arrows or hearts), but they lead to nothing specific, or have no discernable logic to their existence. The narratives alluded to in the work then become bizarre and disjointed, and elicit a range of possible interpretations. Confusion and ambiguity are interesting to me. I am interested in unfinished stories, lost contextual information, and nonsensical interpretation. People in general strive to make sense of irrational things, and attempt to make order out of chaos. Some things, however, have no logic. There can be fun in exploiting that need for order, as well as a mysterious quality that can be very attractive. Ian Pepple ...

Chad A. Carino - A quality which defines the life of any urban artist is the visible entropy surrounding us in the form of decay and despoilation of the desolation defining post-industrial urban America. Simply put, we live in darkness. This quality bends and controls me, defining my work, decaying into darkness and chaos. A solid idea will find itself dissolving into a series of dark scribbles, and a simple concept will belie its ultimate complexity. These images find themselves hovering between unconsiousness and depression; ultimately, cold, dark, and dead, like any planet or person....
