Artists Describing Their Art:

Jake Baddeley - All is proportion I am sitting, a cup of tea, some good music, a brush in hand and i am gone. There is nothing better: I forget where I am, who I am, and all sense of time. As Picasso once said: "I leave my body outside the studio." Or something like that... I am working on a picture of a lady on a mechanical horse. Why? What is the significance of that? I have no idea. If it "works" pictorially, then do it. Paint first, ask questions later. Too many questions and the muse runs screaming. She is very shy. You have too pretend that she is not there when she comes, but you know she is there because you have no idea what time it is, and you have forgotten your self again. It occurs to me as I proceed, that the lines stop being objects and start to become something else. Pure proportion. Just a harmony of lengths, sizes, and shapes; a prototype Mondrian. Harmony, music, interval, number; all these things are related. It is the link between art, music, and science. A good painting vibrates, because of the resonance of its parts. Vibrates visually, and psychologically...

Pegasus Gallery - The Gallery Pegasus The Gallery Pegasus was opened in 1989 by Vera Ennis and Pat Ramsay. This was the brainchild of a former General Manager of the Pegasus Hotel, who approached Pat Ramsay, who was then the Curator of the Mutual Life Gallery. From inception, the Gallery Pegasus has always promoted a standard of excellence worthy of its importance on the Jamaican Art scene. At all times we showcase the highest standard of Jamaican paintings and sculptures. The Gallery allows easy accessibility for both local and foreign artists to exhibit their works, as they seek to revolutionise the way forward in the arts. The Gallery continues to discover emerging Artists and promote established Artists. The Gallery Pegasus opened its doors with a cutting edge because of its ideal location. It is located in the lower lobby of the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel which is one of the most popular Hotels in New Kingston. This of course naturally lends itself to more viewers and potential buyers, making us one of the preferred choices. ...

Barbara A Jones - Barbara Ann Speed Jones lives in Corsicana, Texas with her husband, Mark. They have one daughter and three grandchildren who are a great inspiration for her artwork. She has studied with several classical artists and approaches every new subject as an opportunity to learn. She believes the challenges in painting are endless and the journey makes life interesting. Her work is represented by the Wee Gallery Fine Art, LaNana Creek Gallery and Paulson Gallery. Artist Statement I have painted most of my adult life and to me the creative process is a passion. It is truly a gift to view the world as an artist. The beauty of the ordinary is what I try to capture in my paintings. We are surrounded by unlimited opportunities to share with others the unique qualities of color, light and form that are part of our everyday lives. Too often we overlook the simple beauty of God's creations or pass them by. That is what I seek to capture in my work. Still life painting is my main focus but I also love figure painting and plein aire. Whether it's the quiet glow of a sunlit morning, the softness of a cloudy ...

Derek Mccrea - I have an online gallery showcasing my work at

Derek Mccrea - Blanca Ruth Casanova - "My paintings are intellectual and emotional reflections of my life as a woman. The act of painting is what motivates me. Textures, impastos or drippings are expressing events in my life as I compare my own life to Mexican traditions. Geometric, Figurative, Abstract or Expressionistic paintings emerge while I play with colors, textures, found objects and forms as life plays with me."...

Evie Tirado - My journey as an artist began with my first crayon. I have always been in love with color. Over the years I've developed a passion for lines, forms, space, and the spaces between . Be it paint, inks, dyes, or watercolors, each media excites me. I experiment in diverse styles, allowing the subject, materials, and concepts, to influence the final outcome. My work is often a fusion of opposites -- chance and deliberation; remnants of the past link to the present; fluid pools of color, allowed to drip and layer and develop alongside the thick, structural impasto effects. For me, art is a necessity; a surrendering, a discovery, and a celebration. It transforms thoughts and ideals into dimensional realities beyond the flat surface. The interior process of abstraction suspends me from isolation, and connects me with my most authentic self,as well as the rest of humanity. ...

Tom Curtis - More information at the official Tom Curtis Website at www.tomcurtis.net Please feel free to contact me with comments or questions. I may not be prompt, but I WILL reply. My work involves an intuitive and energetic exploration of form, color, line and juxtaposition. This exploration involves ritualistic processes as well as scientific inquiry, chance and humor. I am particularly interested in the tensions developed within multiple levels of concurrently occurring natural systems, processes and how we are affected by them. This especially includes patterns found in erosion and growth. I believe that the study of these highly complex sublimely ordered logical processes may serve to inform science and spirituality providing deeper insight into the mysteries of life and our place in the universe. Within this perspective, paint becomes more than just another medium, for me it is an alchemical sacrament. ...

Herbert Bennett - When works are presented without sharing their deeper mysteries and secrets, they seem to get lost. The digital images I produce are a process of what I call distilling complex images and color patterns from totally chaotic,'abstract' mono-printed acrylic paintings. Going into the'subconscious image potential' of a subatomic, much deeper image realm lies a world that defies but still complements the conscious ART-iculation of our binary brain's limited potential. Mathematical and scientific principles abound here and are brought to the surface to create the expressions we call ART. The A-ability to R-restructure T-truth. New truths(paradigms) are then created from chaos to new realities for us to be inspired(in-the-spirit)and to be enjoyed. Herb...

Laurie Vaughn - Primarily, my inspiration is derivitive of the New York School art movement genre of abstract expressionism. Additionally, I incorporate expressionist painting influences, derived from the CoBrA art, German Expressionism, in creating my personal brand, of representational, expressionist painting. Taking formal techniques from the CoBrA and New York School art movement, I blend subliminal nuances emanating from sources of inspiration, that are as diverse as Japanese calligraphy to the tribal art, of the Dogon. Utilizing a layering of abstract expressionist painting applications, I reference the oevres of expressionist artists that includes: Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Willem deKooning, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and lesser known, abstract expressionism art movement painters. Representational techniques have been strongly influenced by the bold, vibrant, and colorful expressionist painting genre of significant CoBrA art movement icons, including: Cornielle, Karel Appel, Rooskens, Eugene Brands, Lucebert and Asger Jorn.I prefer to work in mixed media, incorporating gesso, tempera, acrylic, enamel and oil on canvas. My goal is to create individual series, dominated by influences from a combination of artists, overlaid with my personal interpretation or social commentary on events that effect us all....

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....
