Artists Describing Their Art:

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. ...

Ellen Rosenberg - aEURoeWhen you approach something to photograph, first be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence. Then donaEURtmt leave until you have captured its essence.aEUR 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 aEURoefeelaEUR 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...

Reuben Njaa - All my work is dependent on form, color, and composition. I believe the most complex emotions can be evoked from the simplest of forms. My style explores the relationship between man-made structures and the digital world; the idea of recognizable shapes and structures living within irrational thoughts and emotions. I find beauty in things that are cast off. When I find a surface I am intrigued by I bring it back to my studio where I paint on it or scrape parts of the surface and then scan it into Photoshop and begin the transformation process. Occasional I paint directly on to the photograph before scanning using a combination of materials such as pencils, acrylic paint, Marshal Oils or watercolors anything to provide more texture to the surface. I work spontaneously and become more detailed as the composition starts to show itself. I think of my photo-paintings as two separate components, one part non-objective abstract art and one part traditional photography, brought together to fashion something new. As an artist, this combining of two different medias intrigues me. Texture is of primary importance in my pieces. I think of the surface of my photo-paintings as the ...
