Carlos Madriz - CARLOS MADRIZ b. 1972 CARACAS aEUR" VENEZUELA Born and brought up in Caracas, in the mid-80s Carlos started experimenting with drawing, etching, silk-screen printing, design, painting and Street Art. It was at this time that he developed the skills and techniques needed to handle the X-Acto blades that became his constant companion for creating stencils, a defining characteristic of his artwork. He began producing small and medium size prints, small, medium and large paintings, and then murals. In the early 90 s, Carlos began studying at Caracas Advanced School of Arts and at the same time became involved in a number of projects born out of the local punk rock scene, including the design and creation of fanzines and posters and band merchandising activities such as designing and printing tee-shirts.

Justin Lefty Lefkowitz - Lifes full of tales that have yet to be written they say... well this one has yet to be fullyaEUR" painted. Although born in Staten Island in 1991, Justin did not start perfecting his craft until mid 2016 when faced with horrific health issues at the time. Starting early 2016 down over 30 pounds, eventually put back on with the assistance of steroidal injections, things didnt seem to be going well for Justin at all. According to friends close to the artist, he was surviving on Powerade and Gatorade in the beginning - unable to bring himself to eat anything, he was getting his calorie intake from the drink and staying hydrated as well. He was too weak to even open up the bottles himself. These bottles would go on to serve as partial inspiration for one of Justins first pieces Although it would not be learned until several months later when he would officially be diagnosed with chronic Lyme Disease, Justin continued experimenting, creating, and producing new pieces of art that would expand boundaries and push his artistic limits as if there were no issues. Painting was the perfect outlet for Justin as he was unable to process audio and ...

Jerry Di Falco - Photography inspires my visual art and also serves as a key element in the creation of my etchings. The images I employ originate from my own photographs, as well as those my research into the digital archives of universities, historical societies, libraries, museums, and foundations. Upon locating a photographed scene that I wish to translate into etching, I first make several drawings based on that scene. Moreover, using photography allows me to balance documented visuals with my personal interpretations within everyday scenes. I strive to create a convergence between the metaphysical and physical aspects of perceived reality. My etchings attempt to unveil what we mask behind personal assumptions. In other words my scenes unveil what we overlook in the ordinary world. Ironically enough, I blame this failure to notice reality . . . or what I call the phenomena of connectedness . . . on todayaEURtms infatuation with and addiction to the new communicational technologies. My artworks are windows through which people examine the mysteries of human consciousness. In fact, my use of multiple etching plates to create one etched design helps reinforce the illusion of seeing a scene through a window. Each individual area in my multiple-plate etchings becomes a windowpane separated by ...

Wendy Lippincott - Complex allegories dominate the many themes that pervade Ms. Lippincott's paintings. She prefers incorporating science into her art, consistent with her background in electrical engineering, but often gets waylaid with mythological and historical visions. Her paintings are currently only available for licensing. She hopes to have prints available soon. ...

Tom Lund-Lack - Tom Lund-Lack is a self-taught painter whose work uses the power of imagination to seek out the core elements of the subjects he paints. His work is grounded in the need to celebrate life, and to express our sense of existence through the recognition of the transforming power of colour and light. Arrangements of shape, line, pattern and colour conjure up powerful expressions, sometimes dreamlike and at peace sometimes exciting and dramatic. The pieces do not always represent an actual moment in time, but are rather the result of a process of reflection, recollection and reinvention, a distillation of his experiences. ...

Amimra Mimura - My artwork as A.Mimura is much known in different media such as the internet where A.Mimura facebook have more than thousands followers from the entire world. The work of A.Mimura is not an easy work because it's trespassed by expressionism and erotism creating a very unique language that remains provocative and simultaneously firm before the observer. In the line of Ernest Ludwig Krichner, Oskar Kokoschka, Otto Dix, Wassily Kandinsky, Egon Schiele, James Ensor, Munch, Picasso, etc, the work of Mimura goes beyond the mere sensation of reality, it gives you the vision of the psychological impression of everyday life experience touched by the fire of metaphysics. A.Mimura makes his position in Art as an independent artist. The naked and the human body, the mythological fauna, landscapes of the soul, which reflects a state of mind are the themes that A.Mimura explore using different styles and approaches with a proprietary position similar but oppositely distinct to Egon Schiele "everything, living, is dying," to Mimura "everything, dying, is living". ...

Reginald Williams - I believe the leaders of all societys past or present use the arts as a means to gauge the society. In other words whatever people want to see or hear it will be materialized. The leaders can also use art as a way to determine what is in the hearts and minds of the society. I strongly believe in art as a powerful means of communication and should be treated as well. Today their are so many who are not enlightened and ignorant of many things and must be made aware, or at least confronted. That is why art must serve a function besides just hanging on the wall collecting dust. In a more literal sense If it doesnt educate,inform,enlighten,sadden,anger,or at least stimulate the mind then it can't be art. Since the dawn of mankind when art was first drawn on cave walls its purpose was to inform and enlighten it was simply the first form of media news and will always continue to be a powerfull form of comunication. Some use art to decorate a wall. I want to use art to do what it was originally intended to do. If I can ...
