Artists Describing Their Art:

Thomas Gulla - Tomasz Gulla is a lawyer and photographer from Poland. In my 7-year career I had exhibitions in Hamburg, Vienna, Gdansk, Gdynia and Lodz. In addition, I have publications in international journals and books. Photography is my great passion, a springboard from dullness of everyday life, the field where I look for a different view of reality. I try to create something new as well as go beyond the patterns. I am interested in seeking abandoned places (palaces, factories, churches) in order to make them vivid in my photographs and go back in time. I will soon broaden my artistic field of interest by metalwork. ...

Bernhard Luettmer - The project is to create the image with a short composition as I wanted at times I took in here. Timing and movements of the camera or the machinery are important resources. Photography is listen to the world as we hear a beloved piece of music. For example: I see a tree just in vegetation, the wind gentle caresses the new leaves, the light shines and you hear all this on the skin. Now take a picture with the knowledge that this concentration and on the negative is something of the feeling....

Laurent Ziegler - My work is about capturing moments that move and shift boundaries, a search for corners and spaces inside the process of work. The connecting point in my ambitions and dreams, not just as a photographer but foremost as a human being, is the desire to communicate stories, discover tales that seem hidden from the spectator and yet remain open to the inquisitive eye. Looking back, my life has taken some different directions and occasionally it felt random and without orientation. However, working for political parties and finishing my studies, doing editorial work, later photography and contemporary dance, I kept searching for a similar content, for a bigger picture that holds memory and allows to grasp what seems true and valid throughout time. The word unstill crossed my mind when I enrolled in dance photography in 1998. A new world opened up and I thought about the nature of stills, the ability to sense change and the in balance of time, the latter captured like a freeze in a singe moment. the word holds a different connotation in German. Still stands for silence and unstill implies the absence of it. I am currently collaborating with contemporary artists in Vienna, Milan and ...

Laurent Ziegler - Russet Andrew - If a photograph can tell a story, then Vladimir Andreyev tells epics. Hailed as the "Tolstoy of photography," Andreyev specializes in recording nature at its most exquisite moments. In many of Andreyev's photographs, the sky occupies three-quarters of the picture, thereby offering sweeping views of the sky and setting the mood of each piece. Each picture creates a different mood, depending on the perspective and the quality of light; the artist sets an emotional tone of foreboding drama or quiet reflection. Andreyev's eye for beauty lends an almost painterly quality to his work, with their lush colors and romantic compositions. The artist states that his goal is to create a "poetic photograph" that transforms nature into something inspiring. Originally from Russia, Andreyev began his work as a photographer after he moved to the U.S. His award-winning work is exhibited in private collections across the U.S. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York....

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 ...

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 artist's 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 "stranger in a strange land" experience which influences all my work. In my last solo exhibition with Beaux Arts David Astrof, ...

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. ...
