Danny Powell

myartspace id:yalta

BIOGRAPHY:

Danny Powell is a rising Chicago artist who is known for his artistic expressions that draw from his deep roots in philosophy, psychology, world history, and symbolism. Powell believes that "Art cannot be taught, it is something that exposes itself to those that are willing and able to encounter and embrace it…that art is about commitment and not formal training.” Powell's work is intuitive, fiery and expressive, involving bold and unusual color combinations, and blends abstraction and realism. His paintings integrate flowing water based mediums, like india ink and acrylic paint, with dry mediums, like charcoal and pastel, the combination of which solicits a wide range of emotional responses from the viewer. He studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the late 1990s where he benefited from viewing the museum’s collection on a daily basis. It was here he developed a strong interest in painting from the 1940s and 1950s, which became critical in his development as a painter. An encounter with the painting "The Earth is a Man" by Roberto Matta changed his direction entirely. In 1999, his emphasis shifted from portraiture and figure drawing to non-objective abstraction. Powell's art presents a distinctive visual reality that blends different styles such as Fauvism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, with elements of Pop and Arte Povera. The work is painterly, organic, and features bright color, with all-over spaced compostitions. One example of this synthesis is a work titled "The Dangerous Limit" created in the summer of 2001. He usually paints at night, (studio photos) when the energy feels right under artificial light or with candles. The abstract work is meant to be experienced on a subconscious, visceral level, and connect the viewer to possible buried emotions. It is not literal and does not attempt to appear rational. Powell’s painting is alive and pulsating, mysterious, paralleling his perception of life. In 2006, Danny co-founded the Chicago based artist collective known as the Infidel Group with the poet Jono Tosch (creator of the Idiot Hero). The goal of the group is uniting Chicago's artists and public through laid-back exhibitions in comfortable alternative spaces. The group members work collaboratively to put on unique events that feature artwork and live music in a welcoming and positive atmosphere. Infidel Group strives for rooted community based events, partnering with both local businesses, and community focused international organizations, to share the benefit of exposure. Modeled in the vein of art groups of the early 1900s such as Die Brücke, Infidel Group members share an enthusiasm for engagement, professionalism and balance amongst contemporary artists.

Tony Ribton

myartspace id:AntRibton

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in Cape Town, Ribton spent part of his child hood accompanying his father (a keen amateur wildlife photographer) on trips to various National Parks in Sourthern Africa. He is self-taught and after a few years in advertising he became a freelance illustrator working mainly for agencies, the Reader's Digest and various publishing houses. He had his first exhibition in 1974 - Landscapes and Seascapes of the Cape and has had numerous one-man and joint exhibitions since then. In 1983 he became fascinated by the similarities of patterns in natural objects - in clouds, foam, rockfaces, bark, moss and plumage. He had a super-realist exhibiton on this theme in 1984. He specialised in portraiture from 1985 and has received several important private and public commissions. In 1993, following an enthusiastic response to his 'Black Eagle on Mountain Top' (the work went to Hong Kong after an exhibition at the Hout Bay Gallery), he turned to painting wildlife full time. He has travelled extensively for accurate reference material through all the major game parks in South Africa. His work has been purchased by local, national and international buyers. He has also exhibited successfully at the Christie's Wildlife Auction in London. He believes that wildlife art has a vital role to play in raising awareness of the desperately precarious state of our natural environment and that its increasing popularity is connected with an often unconscious yearning for nature and the wilderness which is locked up within the soul of industrialised humanity. This was a phenomenon described most eloquently by the late Sir Laurens van der Post (with whom the artist corresponded).

"The impressive body of work in photography marches forward producing images, as demonstrated by AW's members both amateur and professional alike, that we could only dream about in the good old days." He said. He has been drawing and painting almost as long as he has produced photography.

He also did illustrations for newspapers, magazines and has sold thirty five paintings to individual collectors.

BIOGRAPHY:

Artist's Statement We are all artists. The artist is there, awaiting release. Two things — the hidden artist in all of us and a reverence for all things — guide me as woodworker, sculptor, painter, writer and even in previous lives (biomedical engineer and physicist). The materials I work with (wood, metal, stone and some synthetics) react to me just as I react to them, a reciprocity of reverence. If I see the beauty in a piece of wood, that beauty resonates, growing more magnificent. Wood may not “talk” back but it lets me know how to use it, how to show its best characteristics. These moments of communication are the photosynthesis of my art: the foundation energy that sustains me. Technique, that element somewhat akin to wisdom, comes only when the artist's soul is firmly attached to pen, brush, knife or chisel. Like great improvisational jazz, each brush or chisel stroke is another “note” waiting to be realized. This circle from artist to reverence to materials to tools and back to artist, is an infinite loop. Its driving energy may be the artist, or Mother Nature may be that engine since all elements of tools/artist/materials are hers. Ulysses said, “I am a part of all that I have known.” Quantum physics says the same. Does the artist create the art, or vice versa? When I work with wood, fabricating sculpture or furniture, I am just a tool of Nature holding a tool of steel, feeling my way into my heart and that of a tree. Certain elements reappear in my work: flowing forms, curves, the contrast of mixed materials (stone and wood, wood and metal, etc.), river imagery and water. 40 years as kayaker and backpacker have certainly added their influence. Wild things, diversity, human insignificance in the universe, all serve as inspiration. Some characteristic of the materials I work with often sparks an idea: weaving grain of wood, translucency of marble, topographic surfaces of bent metal, spectral colors of paints. The wood for a sideboard made of rare African muninga showed variations in tone that suggested changes in thickness, almost like shadow lines. The design evolved to emphasize those tonal changes. By cutting curves on the surface of otherwise straight pieces of wood, the structure became both straight and curved, like the wood, and like the tree. Another project evolved from familiarity with substance. I used to build kayaks from fiberglass. Resins used in fiberglass are translucent like the water on which those boats ride. In a spruce coffee table, tall lamp and door I built flowing inlay of glowing, blue resin — water floating in wood, a reversal of expectations. My work, then, is born in the unconscious, heated in the forge of mind, fueled by a life of observation, and tempered by the heart.

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in Roskilde. I live in Copenhagen, the capitol of Denmark, and have done so for a long time. I am autodidact. Written about me by Anna Maria Lund, january 2007: Sadie Christoffersen has exhibited her work since 2000 in numerous shows in Denmark. As a tailor she has worked for several years creating theater costumes, but a Peter Greenaway exhibition in 2000 became a turning point that started her out on her artistic career. She creates objects out of textiles and textile fibres that she mixes with other materials, thus obtaining an intimate depth and a sensual character to her objects. Her works are dreamlike and fragile and touch the viewer deeply leaving you with existential and intriguing questions. - Contemporary music is a great inspiration to Christoffersen, and so is also – often painful - stories from her life. – Her shows have won much acclaim in the Danish art scene due to the originality of her works.

In these five beautiful years he co-owned Horizons Art Gallery & Studio and was one of the producers of Dark Night Cabaret. He exhibited at the very first FLUX and the first Art on the Ave, both of which he participated in several times after. T.K. also had the opportunity to create live paintings at the Mattress Factory, The Carnegie and The Andy Warhol Museums. His works can also be found in corporate and private collections across the United States and Internationally. T.K. then moved to San Francisco and starting his second year there began running the flagship gallery for the Academy of Art University as their Gallery Representative. He had three very successful gallery shows. In December of 2006, T.K. and his wife moved back to Pittsburgh to be closer to both their families. "Pittsburgh to me was the most welcoming playground because it nurtured the individual. It allowed me to be an artist. It asked you to come out and play. I had the opportunity to participate in a show, be it as a dancer, painter, or coordinator, every month. And the number of people I got to work with is amazing! I can’t count how many there are to thank. Pittsburgh is home to some of the most incredibly talented and loving artists. It is an artist community like I’ve never seen before because it stands alone in its principles and ideas. Which is a beautiful thing, I only wish there were more like it."

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in Philadelphia, but raised in Fresno, Luke Chueh's (pronounced CHU) formal art education began and ended at Califronia Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obipso where he earned a BS in Art & Design (Graphic Design concentration). Before graduating, he was employed by the Ernie Ball Company, working in-house as designer/illustrator. While there Chueh was resposible for several award winning designs and was featured in the design annuals of Communication Arts and Print Magazine. At the same time, he also created, produced, wrote, designed, edited and published "E.X.P.", a 'zine dedicated to the "Intelligent Dance Music (IDM)" genre. In 2003, Chueh moved to Los Angeles to further pursue a career in design. However, a lack of employment opportunities left him resorting to painting as a way to keep busy (a hobby he picked up while attending Cal Poly). He got his start when Los Angeles' premiere underground art show, Cannibal Flower, invited him to show at their monthly events. Since then Chueh has quickly worked his way up the ranks of the LA art scene, establishing himself as an artist not to be ignored. Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations, Chueh stylistically balances cute with brute, walking the fine line between comedy and tragedy.
