Artists Describing Their Art:

Jim Lively - Whether portrayed in the abstract, realism, or somewhere in between, I am most influenced by both the beautiful and unattractive components of contemporary urban culture. Many times, one painting will reflect both components. My art tends to focus upon interesting juxtapositions of close-up images of human faces. Often, the larger images border upon realism and are caught expressing a panoply of emotions usually directed at the other images that share the canvas. Several of my recent works such as the tongue in cheek entitled "Lenin and Things" contain unlikely combinations of images such as a statue of Lenin which is dwarfed by a billboard size fashion model displaying a vacuous stare. A number of works contain both large images and interrelated small images. For example in the painting "Staring at Natalie", all the smaller images are a depiction of a collective group of voyeurs staring at a larger image of a posed fashion model. I want those viewing the painting to be the ultimate voyeur. The viewer is not only drawn initially to the larger image in its own right but also cannot help but then notice the relationship of the smaller images to the large image. Works displayed ...

William Christopherson - The viewer sees a finished canvas. The artist relishes its journey of creation. A thought, a feeling, an experience, a place. These are the most essential of supplies as the artist tasks to expand, explore, and evolve along the path. All are welcome here, to view, appreciate contemplate, and possess the journeys I have made, and the journeys yet to come. Over the past several years I have explored the oil medium, borrowing technique from both historical and present day impressionism. Its a medium I love to work in, even though my wardrobe and studio surfaces have suffered immensely. Much of my work now reflects the pallet knife, and explores a prolific use of heavy colorful brush stroke. Everything continues to evolve, and thats a good thing Enjoy. William Christopherson, 2017 ...

Tamara Sorkin - I have always worked from organic subjects- plants, animals, or the human body, but usually I arrive at an abstract, "zoomorphic" description, that enables me a wider perspective. ...

Rickie Dickerson - I work from the core, I smear my guts on the canvas, all the pain and confusion...joy, lust and anger...right before your very eyes. I have to paint, I have no choice. My mentor, Luise "Mignon" Andersen, introduced me to acrylic paint and threw me deeper into the river of creativity. Everything I do is just to keep me from drowning... As for the photography, that's compulsive as well....

Harry Bayley - My paintings are very much about expressing colour in different ways, which I incorporate into whatever painting that I am working on whether it be my own work or a commission. I think colour when used in a painting whether it be bold or subtle can make all the differnce. I would describe my paintings as absrtact, contemporary and full of colour expression....

Malcolm Tuffnell - Malcolm Tuffnell Is a tremendous talent in contemporary figurative painting.His works exist between a realistic drawn representation of the female figure and an abstract use of impasto and color. He has been exploring the possibilities of oil paint and pastel for over 30 years, with particular attention paid to how color layers interact with eachother; specifically how thin overglazes of a strong color, for example phthalo blue or rose red, can change the character of the paint or pastel underneath them in unexpected ways, producing many new colors while neutralizing others into grays. He has chosen the female form as the subject of his paintings for its beauty,sensuality and historical precedent. He uses the fluidity of oil to express the sensuality of nude skin. Many of his works derive inspiration from the frequent opera and ballet performances he attends, such as Madame Butterfly and The Nutcracker ballet. However, he does not intend to illustrate a story explicitly but instead to suggest a more vague emotional narrative. Education/Accomplishments From 1977-1979 Mr. Tuffnell attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and studied with noted teacher Gary Brown; when there he traveled to Europe, where he was inspired to ...

Susan Bell - It has been my wish to travel and paint the many people and cultures of the world. Raised on a farm in New York until the age of 11, I have seen many aspects of nature. I started out painting landscapes and still life. But my true passion, has been my fascination with people and the human face. I am struck by the innocence and candor of children. My willing subjects have been my grandchildren, much to their delight. There is something about seeing and recognizing your face in a painting. I am drawn to both realistic and abstract expression. It has been a goal in my work to incorporate the two. The many models I have painted have provided inspiration to look for the unique qualities that each of us possesses. It has been recent that I have taken interest in exploring the mystery in the face. Using a building of layers to lend depth and drama has been an exciting process. Committed to learning, my work reflects the wonder I experience daily. My hope is that my work reflects a deeper than skin look into the spirit of the people I do in portraiture. ...

Ronald Lunn - As an artist, the art I create is something that doesnaEURtmt have a simple definition. My artwork is about personal growth, I constantly strive to evolve and improve my techniques.

I wish for that my artwork may continue leaving a lasting impression, to hopefully uplift and inspire everyone to experience those same emotions, pursue their own dreams and bring refreshment into their life, to see the beauty that exists around all of us.

I love what I do and am extremely passionate about the arts. ...

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. ...
