Artists Describing Their Art:
George Grant - In my works I try to mold invisible ideas into visible forms. Merging of the invisible and visible in surreal themes and objects, or in coded geometrical shapes in my art is the way I establish the purpose of breaking through the conventional statuses of material life, into the dream world of human subconscious, where the infinite universes are hiding. So the objects and beings in my works are often appearing as symbols pointing to that which can hardly be talked about in words, allowing the viewer to get the hunch on deeper non-verbal level. Apart of surrealism, abstraction and abstract expressionism, my second fav is a realistic classic painting, where I endeavor to follow the principles and techniques of Renaissance artists. ...
Lawrence Tuber - My Newest work involves blowing a multi layered blank on which I carve intricate decoration. I am using images ideas that I have been drawing since childhood. I am from Mars. I also make multi-vessel sculptures using blown and optical glass components creating families of vessels. I have been a vessel maker for 30 years. heck out my Etsy site at
Joy Livingston - The inclination to make art came to me at an early age growing up in Omaha, Nebraska; and I went on to earn a B.S. in Art Education, and a M.F.A. in Painting. I was determined to teach art at any level, and ended up with Middle School in Inverness, Florida. Albert Pinkham Ryder's paintings are a great inspiration to me, along with other Romanticists; Ralph Albert Blakelock, J.M.W. Turner, Albert Bierstadt, and William Blake. Automatism and Expressionism will continue to play a role in my work. ...

Mark Schwing - Ideally the artist is employed by society at large. The artist helps define culture and culture makes us who we are in whatever time and place we are at. Of course most of us are not living in caves anymore but even then art helped society function; helped the hunter hunt, showed people what to do. Art is still showing people what to do in a way. Whether it is raising awareness by showing what is going on, teaching by example or simply exploring ideas that give people ideas. My art is about ideas as much as anything else but it is a surrealistic and intuitive approach. So what is presented isn't a literal interpretation, it is more like exploring the idea with art. It is really another reality. It mirrors our reality and/or it is influenced by our reality. I can't help but be affected by what is going on around me and I am interested in the transcendental as well. Please visit my website, www.markschwing1.com, for more images....

Robert Pulley - A friend told me recently that it was helpul for her to know how an art work is created and how the artist thinks. That led me to consider what I have to say about my art work. When one looks at my sculpture I hope one sees strength, mystery, sensuousness, spiritual energy and more. How these constructions in modeled clay can stir such responsed in myself and others is a mystery to me, but I can say something about my methods and way of thinking. I have always been intuitive, reactive and spontaneous. I love improvisation, expression and the power of chance and serendipity. This may not seem obvious in large pieces that must be carefully crafted over weeks or months. Here is how it works. When I began the first pieces in this body of work many years ago they were purely improvisational. I would begin each piece with a flat slab of clay that I cut into a shape that would be the bottom of the sculpture. I usually had a vague idea of the proportions I wanted. This general notion set the theme within which I worked. In the manner of free jazz I would consider ...
Eduardo Guelfenbein - Eduardo Guelfenbein's art has always been dominated by the commanding presence of the figure. Close to a free narrative figuration which represents a South American expression, an imprint of energy of speed and movement, he constructed certain of the latter works in free of form, leaving the work to express itself, exploding the outlines of faces and bodies, favoring gesture and color. Waves in vibrant colors create shadows and in a picture as "Peopled" it is practically impossible to decipher the puzzle that mixes the faces and the bodies in colored whirls. Some suggestive signs arise such as an eye, or a profile inseparable from a movement that runs, encompassing the entire canvas. This fluidity, that gives the title to the exposition, characterizes perfectly the latter animated work of a volcanic spirit close of the primordial and veiled force that presided Creation. Here, Guelfenbein finds the way of an "almost abstraction", whirling, lively, that comes close to European pictorial experiences such as Cobra, and particularly of Lindstrom (not exactly Cobra), of which the research corresponded to the exploration of the basic energies translated by the usage of the bold colors and the "sculpture" of pictorial matter. ...
