Victor Navarro
myartspace id:vicnav20art
BIOGRAPHY:
Victor Navarro Capturing his overpowering artist expressions has been Victor Navarro’s passion since the age of four. Moving to the United States from Guadalajara, Mexico in 1998, nurtured his inspiration. Soon this inspiration became an obsession. While still in high school, he traveled to France and it was at this time, Navarro met Madame Denise Woirin, a highly recognized European art critic. Her affiliation with the Drouot Cotation Dictionnaire, (similar though more prestigious than Christies) offered a venue of exposure where only the best artists in the world are referenced. After rigorous interviews and juried auditions, Navarro’s work was selected for this elite International Dictionary of Artists. Considered by all in the industry to represent a “Lifetime Achievement,” this is truly a phenomenal distinction. Consider this: Navarro is the youngest artist ever to be honored with a permanent placement in Europe’s most coveted and revered art authority. Soon following Navarro’s rising fame, a Silver medal was awarded from Paris’ International Academy of Lutece. Additional recognition along with prizes have continued to follow from Art Communities in the United States as well as France. For more information regarding upcoming shows and Victor Navarro, please contact Hana Ripp, Manager @ hanaepi@aol.com or CJ Heileman at CJ Heileman & Associates at 520-991-6123


Danny Augustine

BIOGRAPHY:
My work falls under the contemporary Neo-Expressionistic style. I want everyone to understand that art is not just about the image; it’s about the artist process. This is very true about my work. I have stepped out of the canvas and became a true painter’s painter. My technique is very unique. I use rapid hand movements and wide rage of tools. I begin by mixing harsh chemical such as varnish, polyurethane, and turpentine with my oil paints, and that result in unusual reactions such as cracking, running, various gloss, and matted surfaces. The mixture is then thickly applied and is then rapidly removed. This will leave a thin layer of pigment on the canvas. Then the process is repeated and layers soon build. I work intuitively during the layering period, focusing on my feelings, and using that energy for rapid motions. In the end, will be a gut-wrenching, emotionally evoked painting with a thick surface and a variety of textures. While I am working with the surface, my mind wanders across an internal landscape of memories and experiences. Questions arise that are difficult to answer in the rational world. In my life, I’m always looking for answers through the power of nature. Painting becomes a healing process. Simultaneously, I seem to develop textural environments, which coincide with my feelings. For instance, if I feel the need for renewal, or refreshment, I paint water. If I feel the need for growth, I paint trees. When I am down, I paint the ocean. I take my feeling and change them into color and then into an image on the canvas. When the process is over and my feelings have been worked out, then my painting is done. So, you can say that each painting is an emotional stepping-stone for me and they find their own spot in the art world.

Yianni Digaletos

BIOGRAPHY:
Hi, My name is Yianni Digaletos. I was born in the Greek Island of Cephalonia and I am now Living in the United States. This is a sample of my art. I work with Acrylics, Oil, colored pencils. My art is described as mystical with a touch of surrealism. It is not s much expressionistic as it is commentary and at time cynical on issues like social injustice and religion. When I paint I start with an idea but at a certain point the art itself takes over and re-creates itself anew. In that spirit some of the paintings you see contain within them “subtle images” that communicate the meaning behind the painting. In the “Hunger” the African woman in the red dress comes upon an empty McDonalds French fries box at her feet and in the upper left corner of the same painting in the firestorm is the face of the god of fire “Hephaestus” dosing out justice on the golden city (the developing world). In the “Death’s Beckoning”(the vase of Flowers) the red cloth is a representation of death and destruction. It is a dying old woman. Her face is in the left hand corner and spread throughout the cloth are other haunting faces. All of those images were created in the paint by what you might call chance or subconscious and through a little embellishment came to life without original planning. In the end the direction a painting might take is completely different then the original thought. I often use metallic paint like Gold to convey the mystical side of life. Metalic paint creates a constant metamorphosis of the painting at different times throughout the day. I hope you enjoy the work and thank you for allowing me to display it for you.


Nicolas Gracey

BIOGRAPHY:
My name is Ncolas Gracey. I was born in 1974 in Lima, Peru. Since my early childhood, I have felt art to be an integral part of my life. My formal art education began at 11 with a private art teacher. At 14 I began studying painting and drawing at the Art Museum of Lima. Later, as a teenage, I pursued studies under Austrian artist Adolfo Winternitz, founder and chairman of the Art School of the Pontificia Universidad Católica of Perú. In 1992 I began to study Industrial Design at this school. After a year of design studies, I was torn between my love for design and my passion for art. So I consulted Professor Adolfo Winternitz, who advised me to follow what he knew to be my passion: art. I heeded the advice and changed my major to art. In 1995 I traveled to Mexico City to study art for a year at the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico. In 1999 I was awarded a scholarship to study art at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia, USA, where I received my Fine arts degree in 2001. Varied life experiences, including studies abroad and divers work opportunities, have made me a resourceful artist, with skill and knowledge in fields ranging from traditional art in several medias to digital design. Presently I live in Columbus, Georgia, where I work as an artist and graphic artist/designer. My artworks are in private collections in Peru, Mexico and The United States.

I chose Art over other disciplines because of the freedom of expression, the physical, and the discipline. Art is one thing in life where there are rules and then there is invention and creation. As an artist one can create and explore multidiscipline. In addition, in one art piece a message is worth a thousand words. In a light way or visual dramatic scene we can make humanity look at their pleasure or follies in up close leisure time when they least expect it -- with their defenses down. I enjoy the act of creation. I enjoy the mind control involved in the act of creation-- the passion driven nights up through until morning, of watching brush stroke after brush stroke emerge on the canvas. The paint as it swishes against my brush the contact it makes with my canvas. These three reasons keep my palette fresh and my studio warm with invention. I create art there fore I am. In my art I hope to change lives. I hope for humanity to take an introspective look upon their lives. I hope for my work to achieve this aim.paint the figure. My work is about humanity, the depiction of emotion and the physical states of being, the cycles we go through in this vastness of humanity and the process of species being.

BIOGRAPHY:
Lisa Small was born on Feb 2, 1984 in Oakland,Ca. Today, she resides Bakersfield,Ca with her husband Dane and their two children. Although Lisa attended San Diego School of Creative and Performing arts with a focus in fine arts she believes that her true talent comes from her artistic views of the world. Inspired by her deepest emotions and impressions on life, she crafts her original works of art mostly with acrylic and watercolor. Lisa is a new emerging artist and just created her website this year (2007). Captured by the depth the artist pulls from her soul to pass her visions to the audience, her collections are truly remarkable. Dark, beautiful, and strange, each movement and stroke evokes strong feelings from its viewers. "The impression the world makes upon me has delivered my visions and thoughts I wish to show you. It is not my paintings which are beautiful and strange, but the dark romanticism and irony in the world we live in. As I lay out my inner soul and darkest secrets before you, I pray you see not me, but yourself within them." ~ Lisa Small


Carey Corea
myartspace id:ccorea
BIOGRAPHY:
Carey Corea obtained his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1969. He attended school with his heart set on becoming a painter, however after graduation, he embarked on a career in commercial art, becoming a respected designer of symbols and graphics. Between 1988 and 1990, He turned his attention once again to painting – producing oils of figurative and abstract subjects. After nearly a decade of focusing on marketing communications, Carey began producing charcoal drawings of figures and portraits. Over the years these drawings have evolved into works of spontaneous gestures, lines and smudges while remaining faithful to human proportions. The liberating process of drawing inspired the creation of mixed media paintings with rich textural surfaces, symbolic glyphs, and exquisite color. These works are painted on canvas, board and handmade paper. Many of the abstracts combine oil, acrylic, encaustic, and natural materials suspended in a variety of media. Inspired by the beauty of organic change, Carey has developed a visual lexicon of rich colors and textures. His latest paintings utilize innovative techniques developed to capture the spirit of natural erosion and the engraving of mystical glyphs. Carey lives in Rochester, New York with his wife Janice. They have two children, Nicole and Kyle.

BIOGRAPHY:
I use photography as a medium to show how I see abstract value in real time, natural and man-made. The interplay of light and shadow, color and composition captured in a single moment appeals to my feeling of urgency to record that moment. Most of the time I am not actively looking for the subject, it just shows itself and I shoot it. This makes me happy. After working full-time as a graphic designer for eleven years, I left the corporate world in January 2006 to do freelance. It gives me the opportunity to pursue my fine art creativity.

Kristina Faragher
myartspace id:kfaragher
BIOGRAPHY:
Kristina Faragher combines recognizable imagery and layered sound with abstract passages and slowed movement to create short video meditations on human presence in relationship to both urban and natural environments. Direct reference to meaning is denied as viewers explore layers of possibility and attempt to piece together narrative elements. Hand-held motion and rough edits serve to reinforce corporeal reality and position the artist at the center of an exchange between mediated image and truth. Faragher’s solo and group projects have been exhibited at Shoshona Wayne Gallery, Andrew Shire Gallery, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibits (L.A.C.E.), the REDCAT Theater, Los Angeles, Highways Performance Space, Sweeney Art Gallery at U.C. Riverside, SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico and The Museum of Modern Fine Art in Minsk, Belarus. Faragher’s videos have been presented on several billboards throughout Los Angeles as part of LA Freewaves Ninth Annual International Media Festival and the Fifth Festival International de la Image in Colombia, South America, sponsored by UNESCO Digiarts. Her work is presently being exhibited at The Autry National Center in Los Angeles,, “Yosemite: Art of an American Icon to bePublications include: The Smithsonian Institute’s Archives of American Art and Extensions: Online Journal of Embodied Technology at UCLA.

Andy Craddock
myartspace id:neolestat
BIOGRAPHY:
In my photography you see the models I work with as I see them. I firmly believe that 'Post Processing' is important to all professional photographers and that 'Photoshop' has now become the darkroom of the digital age. I try to limit my own 'Post' to the removal of obvious blemishes only. No skin smoothing, no eye whitening, no teeth straightening... The beauty you see is the model's own. For most shoots I find it is enough to simply suggest to the model what she wear and how she apply her make-up on the day. Each model comes to the shoot as herself and ends up in print with as few post processing changes as possible. During the shoot I often ask the model to act emotively and from this I try to capture the personality as well as the external beauty... I believe that acting comes from within and is an extension of the self, it removes inhibitions and frees the Id from the Ego. I often choose not to directly pose my models but suggest and let them pose themselves within a theme and shoot around them. Whether the model poses with confidence or shyness the honesty remains and a set of beautiful and unique images is created.

Rhett Gerard PochÃÃâ
myartspace id:rhettgerardpoche
BIOGRAPHY:
As heirs to the rights and privileges granted to them by their feminist foremothers and forefathers, adolescents of the “post-post-feminist” generation appear to be rejecting these legacies in a contradictory attempt to assert their sexual freedom and equality. As a result of this trend, many young women assume gender equality and power are to be found in the projection of a sexualized “feminine” identity. The logic appears to be that young women can cultivate social and cultural power by willingly transforming themselves into objects of male desire and the male gaze. To compensate and to compete, young men are prompted to perform their own equally exaggerated, sexually aggressive, and misogynistic versions of masculinity. My work presents viewers with motifs of this contemporary phenomenon in the hope of increasing awareness of a new and potentially harmful social dynamic. I want my audience to step back and consider the scenarios I present as being emblematic of a situation that threatens the advancement of gender relations.
