Marty Kalb - Artists important to me Rembrandt,Cezanne and Matisse,because their work got better with age. Klee, because he makes me realize that simple ideas are the most complex and the most rewarding. Kandinsky, because his work was the first to teach me about the levels of meaning in abstraction. Twachtman,because his landscapes are about how to feel about place and process. Church, because his majestic vision is his own creation. Monet, because I see his hand and eye take risks. Hofmann because he controls the mind and frees the spirit. Heartfield and Goya because they do not look away. There are others, but as Hillel said "the rest is commentary" Subjects I return to. Color filled landscape abstractions. Realistic images of local streams, And waterfalls in other places. The Holocaust as the ultimate moral challenge Each is important My paintings explore realistically and abstractly an interest in landscape from my immediate surroundings, distant places of particular natural beauty, seascapes and undersea forms inspired by many visits to the Caribbean and a long standing interest in Asian art. Most of the paintings of realistic waterfalls are of places in Vermont, New York State and Ohio. The abstract waterfalls are inventions, ...
Archna Jaideep Singh - Concept Statement ARCHNA JAIDEEP SINGH My paintings are myself and a flow of my inner being. The inspiring force is the interaction of my moods in response to the environment, changing seasons and the romance of my life. I derive great happiness in the process. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing. The feeling of happiness comes when a painting becomes a finished product. Everything around us is an expression of varied selves - creative or destructive. Artistic creativity has myriad forms. Conversation is a fine art so is dancing, singing, storytelling, writing and film making and each is a powerful instrument for social change. Good writing and cinema have always inspired me. Possibly, the art of living a joyous life is the finest art of all. My art is my creative expression of love for people, curiosity about the world and the cosmos, devotion to the sublime and preoccupation with evolution of my artistic self and personhood. My purpose is to create beauty in times when ugliness and crassness have almost become a cult. In my nudes I paint the eternal human being in the most natural form transcending boundaries of geography, culture and time. In ...

Marcin Biesek - Where art meets nature, and nature meets technology and politics, this is where I appear. In my work, I take up issues related to politics and show how it affects our society and our lives. I create artworks in which I show the impact of technology and human activity on the natural environment as well as contemporary problems and politics. I like complex topics, with deep political or social content. I believe that through art I can have a real influence on society our lifestyle, the living urban and rural spaces, the masses, including our small local communities, unravelling humanity through new lenses living in a technological and digital era.

Christo Kasabov - My approach can be described as a New, Conceptual Expressionism. I am using a vast alchemy of materials composed and distributed across the surface in defiance of the very notion of moderation, rationality and order. In my paintings you can see layers of sculptural acrylic structure in which I engrave signs and symbols, numbers and words, inspired from the heritage of the ancient civilizations. My inspiration also comes from the language and the movement of the perfection and beauty of the human body. I use collages from wood, metal pieces or household objects to accomplish and enrich the abstract composition until I achieve the special environment in which everything takes on an artistic language and a philosophical reincarnation, like a trip beyond the horizon towards the exceptional feeling of the material and nonmaterial. The sign in the abstract is both concept and dynamic expression of my spiritual and inner life. It is the leap beyond the realm of what we can see into the realm of the imagination rooted in the human soul. Through the use of evocative color intense dimensional abstractions and architectural symbols, my art reflects the often difficult personal exploration and discovery of my inner spirit. ...
