Artists Describing Their Art:
Lynette Seiter -
Ewan Mcanuff - I see myself as an impressionist; I use oil on canvas as my medium and utilize a wide range of subtle colours to create in my paintings a soft, sensitive quality. My paintings are a synthesis of portraits, landscapes and street scenes and, although subtle, often carry a hint of social commentary. My works can be found In private collections locally and abroad. My philosophy leaves no room for complacence. Through my paintings, I intend to continue to bring vital features Of Jamaican life, as I see it, to the attention of my fellow Jamaicans, And the world at large. As a young man, the artist that influences me most was George Rodney. ...
Einav Zilber - As an art lover, I want to see art not only in the museum or gallery but rather see art in my daily surroundings of where I live. Be it the hair dresser, a book shop, a cafe or the local launderette. I think there's something exciting about being able to see art everywhere, stop for a moment (or more) from the days' work and hectic life we live, to look and explore new realms of creation and give me another look and maybe even a glimpse to the creativity and life of others. This idea had been on my mind for a while, bit by bit I could see it come to life in Tel Aviv, where I live, not just the events the municipality make, but rather small initiatives. As a photographer it gives me a lot of space to enjoy and create. I call it Art Around. ...
Vasily Zolottsev - There is only one law in art which carries objective character and comes from the very nature, conditional character and illusiveness of art! It is an indispensable condition of creation of an artistic image! It is necessary to judge an artwork by intensity and importance of the image and force of its emotional influence! Style, manner and technique don't have any importance and they are equivalent! The good picture of a primitive artist can be much more valuable in the art sense than a 'competent' picture of a realist and on the contrary! If there is an image, there is a work of art, if there isn't, it's no use crying for the moon! And it is not important which art means it has been reached by! Everyone to his 'own' taste! ...
Shin-Hye Park - Park, Shin-Hye Born in Daegu, Korea Master of Fine Arts, Graduate School of Hong-lk Univ., Seoul, Korea Freie Kunst, Gesamthochschule Kassel, Univ., des Landes Hessen, Germany Present Lecturer at Hankyong National Univ., Korea An Attempt to Perceive:Nature, Life and Humanity An Artistic expression is for me an act of confirming what I have perceived, namely what I have to know while seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling endlessly in the midst of daily life. What is especially important in my work is how I have progressed to know nature. Nature is a starting point of understanding about life, humanity, and somthing called living as one experiances. It is also a place for an empirical, not ideological, understanding of God. Equilibrium is a divine state. Thus, God must have created the universe in his attributes. Now we conceive equilibrium as broken and are feeling a pain from the wound. Then an artistic act is, at least for me, a reflection upon such a reality and embodies a meaning for healing. prolog I feel a deep compassion for Ahnsan, which is suffering from a serious pathological symptom called !(r)development,!- and in turn often affirm in my mind that I will ...
Janice Young - I work in multiple mediums. When I get an idea, I think, how can I express this visually. Sometimes the medium is the inspiration. I reuse materials from demolition, use leftovers from construction, gather raw materials from nature, and experiment with commercially produced materials. I have a drive to create. I would like what I create to provoke thought as to the beauty and importance of all life and the effect our massive appetites have on that life. ...
Alex Jobbagy - "Being both a formally and a self educated artist, I have always been interested in social/political issues as the major forces that shape our life, and their effect on the average person's struggle to survive and rise. I had my first solo exhibition at the age of 13. Inspired by the surrealist movement and Salvador Dali, my artistic style of expression is surrealism and symbolism. I am continuously experimenting with different mediums but my favourite remains oil on canvas. As an artist, I feel that it is my duty to reveal the contrast between the harmonious relationship of the individual with nature, as opposed, to the man-made, often artificial, connections developed in the modern society. While my artworks speak for themselves, I want to present these issues from a different, unique angle, hoping to stop viewers and encourage them to think." Visit my blog at:
Pawan Sharma - Personification of thought impregnated into the womb of Human Psychology. The subject which I have selected is mainly based on human behavior or one can say Rasas of Life, their generation and projection. The generation in human through cultural, personal and environmental influences, which I want to project in my painting and Drawings by incorporating living and non living materialistic objects to depict virtual beauty. My few works are done on the same subject and I wanted to proceed in this path further. The process required communication with different people of different areas, their social and cultural presentation, relation with surrounding, behaviour communication Body Language. By modifying their gestural language feelings into more immaculate thoughts by giving them visual effect through my colour, canvas and brushes. It is an interesting method to present something which is intangible transformed into tangible form. Now which is perceptive in form, converted into commonly seen things in surroundings and further more interesting is to relate two different things on some idea. My work need continue development form beginning till end. It has own modified routes, meander, curves and bends, can be found in course of journey. Thank you. Pawan Kumar Sharma ...
