Mandala Art For Sale

Artists Describing Their Art:

Eric Jacobson - My work is influenced by a variety of sources from mandalas to contructivism "drawing in space" and nature: artists like David Smith, Mark Di Suvero, Miro, Picasso, etc. My current work incorporates brass tubing with mobiles and water. Some of these create sound as well. I have also created steel "frames", often octagonal that enclose a series of elements floating within this environment. I have been exploring the use of depth(perspective), color and balance in my work. I am very interested in the "layers" that make up each person's life history and mind, and therefore create layers in my sculpture to symbolize this. I often see things in the world as having an" inner and an outer", sometimes revealed to the world at large and sometimes hidden. This includes the human mind. People often keep parts of themselves hidden or protected even sometimes from themselves. Sometimes thes things are revealed in artwork. My sculptures also involve the relationship of the natural and man-made environments and the balance or imbalance between them....

Reiko Michisaki - Reiko Michisaki uses to collage to unravel a mystery. Using psychotherapy techniques, such as dream analysis, she communicates with alter egos that developed during her childhood. Employing images and symbols as a language, Reiko has cultivated a relationship with eight personalities. Developed over a 17-year period, she finds that the personalities readily appear when she does art. Each collage tells a piece of a story, like a chapter in a book, and the collective series of collages is a vibrant and provocative journal of healing. Dreams and trances provide the themes for her art, aEURoeWhere dreams reveal that which is suppressed, my collages are subliminal dreamsaEUR?. She finds using collage work well to depict the often jumbled world of dreams. The images are representational of emotions and beliefs, and often appear as recurrent symbols. A symbol such as the hand, for example, represents activity from the primary ego, water is emotions, and birds symbolize the multiple personalities. As metaphors, the symbols communicate messages from the psyche, the forces that influence thoughts and behavior. When Reiko creates a collage she tries to put herself in a trance-like state, not consciously selecting images but allowing the instinctual choices to emerge. ...

Cheryl Johnson - Art and imagination have always gone hand in hand with me from childhood. Repetitive marks suggesting texture,circular mandala images and brilliant colors combine in many of my drawings. I call upon the child-core of my earliest years to begin the creations, keeping in mind that the humor of my now adult perspective tempers but does not inhibit all my visuals. My art is my dreams made visual....

Neal Alicakos - I always had a passion for abstract art and did many doodles when I was young. Through my school years I tried to design the year books. In college I minored in art but my majors were more geared for the business world. Although I was not in the art world for many years I always did my doodles to relieve my stress and fill in free time that I had. Now I am semi retired and want to take more of an interest in the things I like most, my doodles and abstract art work. I believe art is an expression of ones soul and mood behaviors. I used to draw mostly black and whites but find I like using colors now. Once in a while I like to combine black and whites, and the use of color in the same abstract drawing. Most times the viewer may not consider that as appealing, but I like to break boundaries as part of expression. Another medium I focus on time to time is photography. I like pictures of landscapes, seascapes, floral, and building structures. I find beauty in nature and architecture. ...

Jocelynn Grabowski - From childhood, we are molded to be who we are today. Because of this, I look at things differently than you do. I may notice the wood on the living room couch while you observe the color patterns on it first. When creating sculptural installations, I combine wood, metal, paint, and lights to make the viewer think and see in different ways. The work titled Black Light Dream, challenges our perspective. When the viewer stands in one location, what they observe will be different from another part of the room. Working on a large-scale with different materials and enclosed in a darkend space, I create this optical illusion. I intend for the viewer to find different focal points, highlighting the patterns and sense of movement throughout the work....

Pierre Davis Dutreix - Pierre Davis-Dutreix is an American painter living in Nice, France. He is one of the leaders of the French artistic squat movement known as "squart". A movement that started in the early 1980's in Paris and whose awkward name is a mix of two words: squat and art. The squart movement is virtually unknown in the States because it has been branded a revolutionary movement by conservatives since it treads on private property. Most of the artists have been ostracized by gallery owners for the same reasons thus creating an alternative network. The necessity for studio space for artists (painters, dancers, actors etc.) is fundamental and the incredibly high prices for such accommodations make it inaccessible for the average artist. Therefore they invest empty buildings, ready to be torn down or sold, and give them a second life by turning them into studios. Squarts represent a haven of liberty and a symbol of freedom. They form a battlefield where the last values are fought for, in a society where everything is conductive for the extinction of independent creativity. In many European countries like Germany, Holland and Switzerland, artistic squats have been legalized since the 1990's and Davis-...

Patricia Leone - As an artist, author, app developer, yoga teacher, and apprentice shaman, I am fortunate to have multiple avenues for my creativity. After graduating with a Bachelors of Arts from Denver University, I took night classes in information technology and taught arts and crafts in Richmond, Virginia. Mid-career, I accepted a software developer position in Atlanta. Although it was a radical career change, it proved a fascinating and challenging outlet for my creativity. Upon my retirement in the tiny shipping village of Thunderbolt, Georgia, my sunrise walks along the intracoastal waterway and my late boyfriendaEURtms request for a portrait triggered my metamorphosis into the artist I am today. Currently, in addition to my painting, I am on my second edit of Pageland, a story based on growing up as one of six siblings in rural Virginia in the early 1960s. My recent paintings celebrate the beauty and love I find everywhere aEUR" in a loved oneaEURtms smile, the camaraderie of siblings, sunrise walks along the intercostal waterway, and in looking out over the fields of my childhood home aEUR" beauty that evil and tragedy canaEURtmt erase. ...

Stephen Bibb - My statement is constantly changing and evolving. At this very moment i am in a complete spin in my life, my wife has just left for greener, more exciting pastures, and its catapulted me into another realm with my art. I feel that the crushing pain has SQUEEZED something new out of me. Not sure how long this period will last, but it seems exciting enough. Just hope the pain will eventually disappear......
