Artists Describing Their Art:

David Garcia Fonseca - Possible Worlds An essentially human activity is the construction of worlds, realities, truths and lies, like the culture, science, mythology, etc The only way to notice that a world is unreal is to compare it with the description of the real world, but reality is not defined, the reality was constructed by others, by us, our nervous system cannot differentiate between a stimulate and a hallucination, since both are single nervous excitations. For that reason, usually we resort to the notion of reality more extended, the rationalist and empiricist one of science, the mercantile one, of modern capitalism, and the bourgeois of the mental habits of the normal users of literature. The reality is only an axis of reference to evaluate fictitious worlds, the reality is, according to Rorty a successful narrative. Leibniz represented God like contemplating to logics combinations from different individuals and choosing this world, like the set more coarsely compatible (thus inviting Voltaire to comment out satirical of which this one is the best possible worlds); and Aristotle who inaugurates this type of investigations through question the ontological statute of the future contingents. The following series of Possible Worlds is an invitation to think about alternative universes ...

Germano Wolf Elena N. Ugel Gwenornothing - Esiliarsi dalla realta, da quella che ci sta attorno e in cui ci misuriamo ogni giorno. Un esilio fatto di interiorita, di ricerca in se stessi, partendo dai propri impulsi, in cui la speranza e tutte le false idolatrie che ci vengono propinate nella quotidianita, vengono a cadere. Esilio come rifugio nel mondo onirico, in quel lembo di vita che e impalpabile, ma che altresi racchiude un vissuto fatto di energie incontrollabili in cui pulsioni, emozioni e ricordi affiorano impetuosamente. I video di Germano Wolf ed Elena N. Ugel gettano il fruitore in un ambiente sospeso, onirico, fantastico, disgiunto dal tempo. Un'atmosfera decadente, in cui inquietudini e un sottile e fuggevole erotismo si risolvono in un'eleganza estetica che travolge il concetto di bello classico - basato su regole razionali - a favore del concetto di sublime - dominato dall'irrazionale - che nasce quando l'oggetto della nostra contemplazione trascende i limiti della nostra sensibilita rendendoci coscienti della nostra finitezza. L'occhio dell'osservatore non ha scampo: gli elementi del video, umani e non, si muovono, agiscono, come racchiusi in un'ampolla di cristallo: uno spazio angusto e spoglio allo stesso tempo, ovattato, in cui tutto pare strutturato secondo regole precise. Regole estetiche ...

Naomi White - My work reflects moments of becoming: gazing at ourselves in the process of constructing a presence. I am interested in rituals performed in private - of mental, emotional and physical preparation with which to present ourselves to the world. ...

Nora Lux - I take photographs by a traditional 35mm Reflex camera and films. In my images I catch forever the emotion of a journey named existence. Almost all my visual projects concern the body, usually my own body. I use Photography as a tool to observe myself in my intimacy, to "read" among the abstract spaces of my soul.... Photography , in its natural dimension, is a synthesis of a moment tha is gone, not visible anymore. Photography is a memory, but also a piece of life to believe in, a valid instrument to reflect on , following emotional itineraries, giving a perspective to different points of view. In my pictures I visualize my feelings emerging from my intimacy. Taking pictures becomes an action to free myself , a moment of reflection, depicting what I feel in that proper moment,all those ghosts dancing with me : fear, illusion, melanchony but also tenderness, joy, love. Nora Lux ...

Glenn Friedel - To me the creative process is a necessity as important to living as eating and sleeping. My work swims in abstraction as I feel that only the abstract can portray the complex nuances of life in our current society; the mysterious, the confusing, the unanswered. The goal of my work is to not only make some sense out of these life consuming uncertainties but also to direct this disharmony towards positivism. In this sense I feel it is my responsibility to continue to use art as a springboard to creating harmony in the human condition. I work with photograms- an alternative photographic process. Photograms are created by exposing different light sources and patterns directly onto photographic paper. I use a live model, who physically lies on the light sensitive paper, in an attempt to not only keep the theme focused on humanity but also to portray the beauty of the human form and therefore, the beauty and positivism that we all have within us. I work in periods of large productive creation followed by long periods of thought provoking analysis. The entire process is done in complete darkness and, as a result of directly exposing light to the paper, leaves ...

Michael Leyton - In his MIT Press book, Symmetry, Causality, Mind (630pages) and his book in Springer-Verlag, A Generative Theory of Shape (550pages), Michael Leyton has elaborated an extensive theory of why art has such a powerful impact on the human mind. This results in an ability to intensify the content of artworks through an increased understanding of compositional organization, that Leyton has provided in his scientific work, which includes his mathematical foundations for geometry. For example, theorems of his, such as the Symmetry-Curvature Duality Theorem, which are now used in over 40 disciplines including many branches of medicine and engineering, also explain the human perceptual response to art-works. Not only has he demonstrated this in his lengthy published analyses of classical and modern artists, but he has also demonstrated that it is possible to surpass the intensity of these artists. This he has done by using the theory developed in his books in the creation of his own artworks - his paintings, his published architectural designs, and the published scores of his musical compositions. The portfolio at the present site is currently under construction. While this is in progress, the reader can gain an extensive introduction to Leyton's artistic ...

Lynda Lester - I am on a search for hidden feelings. Abstract images that reveal unknown emotions lurking inside myself and within those who view my work. Like the cacti and succulents featured in this series, we are shielded with tough exteriors. From a distance, and at a comfortable scale, we seem protected and strong, self-sufficient and safe. But a closer look reveals a tempest of unmet needs and conflicting drives. Fear. Aggression. Tenderness. Humor. Tension. Sensuality. This series began with a single photograph. An image that was initially overlooked. Not an accurate representation of a cactus. But I found myself unable to set it aside. Eventually, I realized that it was a very accurate representation of something else. Of passion and sexuality. Of daring and risk. As I worked with the image, it became more than just a plant. And I knew that one photograph was not enough. Employing unconventional composition, seeking stark contrast between light and dark, and using digital techniques to preserve the classic look of film, a single image inspired a series. In the most parched, most alien life forms; I found something undeniably fluid and unavoidably human. In looking at these images, I found I was looking ...
