Artists Describing Their Art:
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 . . . ...
John Griebsch - John Griebsch photographs American and European landscapes, mostly from his vintage 1952 Cessna. The images depict the pattern, color and design of natural and man-made landforms. "Each image reflects a view of the way a detail of the earth's becomes a universe unto itself. My aerial photographs present a sense of selective design applied to an extremely small but significant area of the vast landscape over which I fly. I find the need to make geographical sense of the earth, as well as the need to make visual sense of a photograph. My work involves ambiguity of scale and the strong graphic quality of nature, and of the hand of man on nature."...
Suzanne Delorme - By cultivating my passion for painting and image transformation, I understood clearly that I use the act, of expressing myself, as a tool to communicate with my subconscious. This connection allows me to better perceive and deal with my feelings and existence as a humanistic person. My paintings and images allow me to better comprehend my own corporal, intellectual, environmental and sentimental complexities. Their subjects allow me to express my point of view of global issues by spontaneously illustrating acts, roles and scenes, in my paintings and images. The imaginary creatures that emerge from the deepest of my creativity demand to be valued and accepted in this world. ...
Einav Zilber - As an art lover, I want to see art not only in the museum or gallery but rather see art in my daily surroundings of where I live. Be it the hair dresser, a book shop, a cafA(c) or the local launderette. I think there's something exciting about being able to see art everywhere, stop for a moment (or more) from the days' work and hectic life we live, to look and explore new realms of creation and give me another look and maybe even a glimpse to the creativity and life of others. This idea had been on my mind for a while, bit by bit I could see it come to life in Tel Aviv, where I live, not just the events the municipality make, but rather small initiatives. As a photographer it gives me a lot of space to enjoy and create. I call it Art Around. ...
Ellen Rosenberg - AC/a,!A"When you approach something to photograph, first be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Then donAC/a,!a,,C/t leave until you have captured its essence.AC/a,!A Minor White Art is neither a profession nor a hobby. Art is a way of being. It is an expression of the human spirit and an integral part of all beings. My creative passion is expressed through the art of photography, allowing for a vocabulary of imagery that is my own. These photographs arise out of my own spirituality, a practice of mindfullness and being fully awake to the present moment. As my journey has taken me deeper into the study of Dharma I have recognized that the camera becomes an extension of my being. I bring the camera to my eyes and AC/a,!A"feelAC/a,!A the image that appears in front of me with a heightened awareness. An opening to the world precisely as it is, offering up all the richness and beauty that is present within this moment of time. I seek to create an intimacy with my photographs, allowing for the viewer to feel the art form, not as a two dimensional visual archive of a moment, but to...
