David Larson Evans - Without question drawing is the heart and soul of art.Becoming a trained draftsman helps to make us capable of mastering any medium.Studying Art for a lifetime ,from New York to Europe. I have many people to thank for helping make it a lifelong quest.In these etchings I am in search of something simple yet hopefully vital, even perhaps elemental(everyone can respond to something elemental). Clarity is important but by adding a hint of mystery i find it makes a more compelling and pleasing work of art. As a Printmaker it is often most difficult to force a piece of flat metal into a negative of an image that matches the original idea (whats in the had). It is a challenge to say the least. My etchings are always limited to 5o prints or less at which time the plates are defaced(keeping the low edtion size). One excitement of being an artist comes with the start of a new piece. Artist can often find inspiration in the other arts. Lately the opera has peaked some interest along with portrait painting in oils.It is wonderful when we find things that move us. The heart controls many ...
Heinz Sterzenbach - Sterzenbach is a painter who creates self-willed dream figures (men, animals, sculptures, rock formations, etc.). Strange and bewitched creatures come into existence, which defy description. Theese magical, surrealistic images have a suggestive effect on the spectator. Sterzenbach about his practice: "I don't know theese creatures, before I see them appearing on paper or canvas. I am often surprised about my own creations. By different techniques like frottage, decalcomany, imprimitation etc. structures come into existence, which Sterzenbach assembles into fantasy figures, without having an exact imagination of what is emerging. Little faces and forms, which Sterzenbach inserts finally in the coarse structures, increase the dreamlike surrealistic radiation of the pictures. You may not try to understand or conceive. It is quite a different world where you have to engage in as a spectator. ...

Artists Describing Their Art:
Naima Neidre - IN HER OWN WORDS: "As a person of feelings I make neither plans nor sketches of the things I want to see in my works. I use the line which follows the hand. Where is the beginning - where is the end? Of that I have no idea. I give absolute freedom to the line. For me it is interesting that the lines in my recent works are moving closer together - sometimes creating a nearly black surface. It is like a journey into an unknown depth which is fascinating, exciting and at the same time dangerous. I have no idea of where I am going. But yet I have to control myself and stop for a moment at the right moment (when the work is finished) - before I set out on a new journey in a new work. I feel very great joy when people gain strenght from my works, strenght to go on - to create or to feel something. Sensitivity is in the eyes of the beholder. We see, we feel, we live together".
