Ronnie Caplan - Presented in a myriad of mixed medias and emotions, with modish subjects and series, my work ultimately evokes poignant ruminations on art in the streets, with new portrayals of hackneyed tourismo topics, found rhapsodies in the everyday mundane scenes, and, by looking ever so closely, finding buried beauty and covert charm where no one is used to seeing it. Composition and color play a large part in unearthing the esoteric appeal and symmetry to be found in atypical urban and landscapes . . . ...

Mark Charles Fox - Photography has often had an identity problem. Over its nearly 200 years, it has won sometimes grudging and other times enthusiastic cultural acceptance. Today, everyone is a photographer. In my view, what I am is an image manipulator. Image manipulating is a daily yoga, I do it for the intrinsically meditative state it induces. In college, oops too late, at the end of my thesis preparation I realized what I should have been doing all along, studying iconography, how we might share wonder and convey the ineffable. This is part of my motivation and a hoped-for result of these externalized meditations. During the past decade or more, IaEURtmve engaged in image manipulating in a dedicated way and have created thousands of them. Each one starts with a photo I have taken and IaEURtmll begin to imagine transforming its shapes and colors. There are just a few rules for instance, never cut and paste, nor combine source images into one, work with one at a time. My preferences extend to the most spaced-out looking images, but I also do ones that might be called aEURoecontemporarily traditionalaEUR. Earlier on, it was all about experimentation, working an image until ...
Lauren Shae Morganstein - My art has become an important outlet that has enabled me to capture the stereotypical ideals that have been flooded through the veins of marketing and crammed down the throats of my generation. I began to use those ideals in a somewhat satirical way, capturing and even playing the roles of the 1950's stereotypical woman in an attempt to better understand her. My work began to take on a more satirical force as I dove further into the "Holly Housewife" role. Smiling depiction of yesterdays woman who required a daily done of "mothers little helper" in order to perform her duties. My work toys with audience at times, as the reality gets doused with fantasy and dotting duties in attempt to make people think, to wonder & even imagine the real story behind the image....
