Artists Describing Their Art:

Ward George - Ward George is a contemporary representational artist interested primarily in the female nude. Having made off with his mother's paint box at the age of nine, Mr. George received his training privately and, formally, at the University of Wisconsin. Although deeply influenced by modern art and its philosophies, he soon embarked on a deeper study of the whole of Western Art. As a result, he has built a foundation drawing from the depth of western tradition as well as more contemporary sources. Mr. George has chosen the nude as an expressive vehicle for three reasons: * first, it is the foundation of Western Art; * second, it is an art form in and of itself; * third, and most importantly, because of his natural sympathies for the human figure and the enduring source of challenges and opportunities it presents. Believing that an artist must bring intellect, emotion and technique to his work, he has taken what he considers of greatest aesthetic value from artists as varied as Rembrandt and Picasso, de Kooning and Ingres, Rodin and Welliver, Matisse, Wyeth, Rubens and Pearlstein.

Nel frattempo, la pratica della disciplina Zen l'indirizza alla scoperta della tensione del vuoto, che diviene uno degli assi portanti della sua ricerca, insieme con lo studio della luce atmosferica. Sue opere sono presenti in varie collezioni private italiane e statunitensi. The pictorial search of artist Alessandro Beltrame begins with a metaphysical investigation that evolves toward the archetypal theme of alchemy. At the same time, his practice of the Zen discipline addresses him to the discovery of the "tension of the void" which becomes one of the carrying axes of his exploration. The use of oils diluted with essences of ...

Nicole Peña - In many of my paintings I depict entranced individuals who are seduced into a musical and psychic celebration. A song lives within the space of my canvas enrapturing participants to sway to its vibrations and experience its sensual essence. In one painting a frenzied conga compels hips to gyrate and eyes to close while in another a gentle psalm inspires as it soothes the soul. In these works, rhythm liberates the body and frees the spirit by compelling the participants to combine sensual movements with soulful meditations....
