Color Photographs

Artists Describing Their Art:

Harvey Horowitz - The artistic philosophy that has inspired me in composing my photographs over the last fifty plus years is really quite simple: It is to capture something extraordinary in what is otherwise commonplace to the casual observer. I am fortunate that the gallery which represents me in Montreal, Beaux Arts David Astrof, has shared my point of view. While the artistaEURtms conception is important in-so-far-as it expresses something original (and/or freshens how we perceive the world around us), I believe it is equally important that the concept be inspiring and not merely cleverly unique. Photography is not currently my main source of income. My livelihood is management consultation work which takes me around the world. It is traveling, with its expatriate experience of being apart from the familiar, which infects my vision and shapes my choice of perspective. This fuels my inspiration to create a photograph imbued with the magic of that particular setting at that particular moment in time. While travel is a big part of what motivates my creative process, it is this aEURoestranger in a strange landaEUR experience which influences all my work. In my last solo exhibition with Beaux Arts David Astrof, ...

Joanna A. Rytel - Few words about me My journey through the world of art began in Warsaw, Poland in 1965. As a 7 year old I attended an art class with my best friend Marysia. The subject matter might not have been the most ambitious, but the passion for expressing myself through various forms of art remains. Since that first art class I have dipped my fingers in many art forms like oil painting, mixed media, ceramic, mosaic, and photography. I love them all. To me, the most important thing about art is not the form, but the feeling. The feeling of being, of living. 20 years ago I moved to the United States with my daughter Dorota. Soon after arriving here I got involved in the Chicago art scene. In 1991 Gosia Garbalska and I established a non for profit organization called Art Moves International, which was devoted to artist exchange between Eastern Europe and the United States. Later on I represented Polish artists as the curator of Gallery 58, and helped organize many exhibits and art events such as Around the Coyote. After a long period of playing the role of art curator, I decided to focus on my own development ...

Wendy Jean Hyde - Wendy Jean Hyde Artist Statement "...While we regret that the present is not like the past and despair of its ever becoming the future, its innumerable inscrutable habits lie in wait for their meaning..." Diane Arbus, 1963 Is it possible to capture the past and future - the coming and going - simultaneously? Seeking help and advice from friends and strangers to design and build an apparatus to do just that, I realized that explaining the design of the apparatus was not a challenge. The materials used to build it were attainable and common. It was the logic and viability of its function that became incomprehensible. Traveling back to see a bear I visited years ago delivered me face to face with the realization that in the changing archives of the wild a bear cannot do laps. He has lost his purpose yet he still swims....
