BIOGRAPHY:

Rebecca began her studies in abstract and figurative art in 1990. In 1998, she moved to New York to study figure drawing and painting full time at the Art Student's League of New York. That following fall, she continued her studies at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Here she used painting, performance, video, and installation to discuss the politics, psychology, and memory of the body. Today, Rebecca still uses the personal to explore unique political responses about the body in art and society. Currently she is working on her "wound" series. These pieces are a reminder of the fragility of the human body, and a protest of false ideals of the body in art history.

myartspace id:snappysam

BIOGRAPHY:

I'm a renegade artist despised by the Art Community yet regarded as a carbuncle on Propriety's nutsack by Society-at-Large. But what the heck, it's a living. During my lifetime I've plumbed the art underground and swum the carnal fleshpool of publishing. In the late 60s I made comix with Robert Crumb and illustrated my friend Abbie Hoffman's "Steal this Book". I was the founding art director of Hustler and art directed at Playboy during the preposterous disco decade ('75 to '85). Currently I produce large cartoon canvasses depicting social abomination, sexual equivocation and political treachery. And 3D art that's constructed from toys glued into depraved configurations , gold paint, red glitter, hanging chains and beads -- like obscure relics of an alien religion. I'm bringin' the bling! Metaphysically speaking. And I love drawing women. I'm producing a book of my drawings of women. During my adult life I've been surrounded by females, and I prefer their company to that of males (who always leave the toilet seat up). I've had three wives and four daughters. My best friends are women. I have a strong female side. It's called Multiple Personality Disorder. When a woman has my attention I like to peel back the layers -- like an onion -- trying vainly to find out what's going on in there until, as my friend Christina (who tells me we were best friend lesbians in a previous life) says "Tears stream down your face." I think we may be best friend lesbians now. I'm a hopeless romantic in an hopelessly unromantic world. I'm an anarchist, a proponent of Chaos Theory and a great cook (Maybe they won't shoot the cook). I'm a cartoonist and a writer. I'm a pagan who doesn't follow the the Party Line, a loose canon in the genepool. I've got milage on the odometer and the dogged sagacity that occassionally comes with age. I'm writing a book about my life and art titled "My Bitter Agenda".

BIOGRAPHY:

Hey, I'm Karen =) I've been drawing all of my life, and although I have had formal training I don't have a degree for it. The technique that I use for my pen and inks involve drawing, from photos, layer by layer of color until I have the desired effect. This takes an enormous amount of time, but it is a labor of love. I also take photos of my drawings as I am working on them. This affords me the chance to look for any inconsistencies in my work, and to fine tune my colors and shading. My clients love getting a cd of their drawing "coming to life." Although I've worked in many mediums: oil, watercolor, pastels, charcoal, acrylics, pencil, sculpture; pen and ink is where I have found myself unable to STOP drawing! The work that I've been doing for the past 2 years has been mostly focused on wildlife and pet portraits.

"Tell the truth, but tell it slant" Emily Dickinson" I lived in the west most of my life but then I was drawn to New York City and fell madly in love with it, circa 2000. The city is more like a relationship than a place. Sometimes you love it and it loves you, sometimes it eats you up and kicks the sh...t out of you. But it's alive and haunted, grungy like the stench of the subway tracks in August but sparkling like the incandescent skyline from the Brooklyn promenade. But, always and eternally full of possibility

BIOGRAPHY:

www.shayoa.blogspot.com What are Light Reactive Paintings? Each painting is made to look different in all forms of light. The sunshine coming through the windows changes color from the morning until the evening, and the paintings change with it. The colors of each piece change with the light, as well as shine and reflect differently depending on how you move around it. In the evening, a small black light used with regular interior lighting (or better yet - candles) gives the painting its best effect, and seems to light it up from within, adding color and dimension that are otherwise invisible. On top of all that, after you turn all the lights off, the painting glows in the dark! Thin Spaces are transcendent moments that happen when the spiritual world and natural world intersect. To believe in these moments, one must believe in a reality that exists beyond what we are able to see with our eyes. Personally, I take a broad definition of what it means, since it means something different to each person who experiences it. These moments are without time, and can happen anywhere: watching a sunset, star gazing, walking through the forest, even hearing a child laugh. Thin Spaces happen when you suddenly feel that the natural world around you is part of something greater or has a higher meaning. My paintings are my expression of these moments, and I hope that they encourage others to take notice of when they happen in their own lives. I believe the meditation and contemplation of these Thin Spaces will bring greater understanding to those who experience them.

Mae Crawford

myartspace id:melimaewi

BIOGRAPHY:

I find comfort in the process of giving character to a dull surface, and I am alway impressed how a simple pushing around of pigment can create such a complex looking, realistic work of art. I was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana by a very loving, supportive, and somewhat open minded family whom I used to proudly compare to the Simpson’s or the Bundy’s. After surviving twelve years of Private Catholic school, I went on to earn an Associates Degree at an Acting school in New York City and a Bachelor’s Degree of Art at the University of Wisconsin. Currently, I am working towards becoming certified to teach in Texas while substitute teaching and working on commissioned portraits and paintings. I also enjoy spending time with my beautiful daughter, Catherine. I paint using mostly acrylics and sometimes watercolor, and my pieces are usually large in size with zoomed-in, cropped images of my subjects painted realistically. I enjoy painting people with dramatic lighting and shadows like that of the theatre, and I work off of photos. Some of the artists I am inspired by are: Vermeer, Andrew Wyeth, Gustav Klimt, and John Waterhouse. I am still early in my career as an artist and my style is not yet well defined and very eclectic. But while working on a unique style of all my own, I am accepting commissioned work for paintings and portraits, so feel free to contact me for a customized painting as a gift for yourself, your family, or a friend.

Douglas AmEnde

myartspace id:Douglas1313

BIOGRAPHY:

A lifelong resident of Connecticut, Doug AmEnde has had a longtime love affair with New England and the sea. Over the years his artistic style has evolved from intricate pen and ink drawings, to a successful career as a travel and fine art photographer, and finally to the contemplative paintings he now creates in acrylic. Over time, the realism that was present in his earlier work has gradually evolved into a looser, more expressive interpretation of the world around us, using light, shadow, movement, and of course, vibrant color, to interpret the varied moods of the seasons in New England. AmEnde has been represented by the Blue Heron Gallery in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, MA for the past four years, and his work can be found in private collections throughout much of the country.In addition,he has received numerous awards in both local and national competitions, and his work has been featured in a number of publications, including Cape Cod Life magazine and Down East magazine.

Artist Statement: Looking at a redacted document is a strange experience. Enticed to fantasize by traces of the familiar, we begin to investigate; but from the moment our investigation begins, so does our frustration. The redacted document is erasure and appropriation at once. We know it by what it withholds rather than by what it offers- remnants, the scraps of an identity. We want these scraps to be meaningful, to act as evidence, to whisper the substance of the lost information, to belie its secrets. In this claimed territory, we feel victimized by the damaged state of the document and are made aware of our status as the untrustworthy Other. We become nostalgic for the unknowable original... we mourn for it. We respond to this secrecy as loss, and we experience this loss as if it were our own. I am captivated by this occurrence. But within the trauma of the redacted document, a new context presents itself… a context in which loss, experienced by the Other, may be felt and understood. Using methods of erasure to create my own "redacted" documents, I make metaphors for the experiences of loss. I present fragments, tiny bits of evidence, allusions to a lost history. It is a poetry born of violence, and it is this violence with which my practice is concerned. What remains, in spite of secrecy, is a new document. A new identity has been constructed. A site of new hope emerges where understanding may be possible. Representation: HANG Art Gallery, San Francisco

Danny Augustine

myartspace id:Dannyartist

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

myartspace id:dracates

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.

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:

I was born and raised in rural Massachusetts where, as a child, I had access to pristine woods and fields. This intimate contact with nature has consistently influenced my work as an artist. From my early renderings of local landscapes, to the introspective mixed media collages of more recent work, I have been compelled to capture the beauty and spirituality of nature. My influences changed upon my move to Chicago. The energy of the urban environment has inspired a series of neo-impressionistic paintings of the fluid reflections, vibrating and fluctuating in the grid of windows comprising the shy scrapers. Living in a city the size of Chicago has also given me access to some of the most exciting live music being produced. In particular, the avant gard jazz scene that has inspired a series of expressionistic, fluid, paintings created in direct response to the music.

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.
