Evan Polenghi

myartspace id:epstudio

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in NYC, Evan Polenghi was raised in Milano, Italy. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1976 and later completing a BFA at Pratt Institute, Evan continues a life in Art. Evan consciously makes images with the consistent notion that art is a language that communicates strongly even when its not pictorial or figurative. Communications can be simple and direct or complex and demanding, His recent work often deals with that he calls "Life Basics", reflected in the work's use of reductive color, markings, and materials. Categorizing Evan as a Painter or Sculptor seems awkward. He prefers the term image maker or object maker. Among Evan Polenghi's accomplishments are several commissions for Absolut vodka and an extensive list of commercial clients including the Museum of Modern Art, The Gap, The World Financial Center, Time Inc., Toshiba, The New York Times, among others. Evan's work is in collections around the world including the U.S., Japan, Europe, and Latin America.

Giovanni Manzo

myartspace id:giovannimanzo

BIOGRAPHY:

The painter Giovanni Manzo (1966) lives and works in Naples (Italy ). The painter Giovanni Manzo is internationally acknowledged for his innovative style mixing harmoniously (blending?) three artistic techniques: photography, graphic art and painting. His black and white oils on canvas pay homage to auteur photography. Graphic art gives the image a contemporary and modern flair, while the painting humanises it, conveying a romantic view that belongs to Neapolitan cultural history. Naples is the city he prefers to paint, revisiting it from a modern viewpoint like no other artist has ever done before. His technique marks a breach with the traditional Neapolitan figuration: the most typical streets of the historical centre are reproduced from a modern perspective, projecting a completely new image of the city to the world. The painter’s deep sense of belonging to this city makes it necessary to find a new way of describing it, with the aim of relaunching its culture at the international level. Through the historical documentation of scenes of real, daily life happening in Naples, the painter fully grasps its truth and the historical authenticity of its architecture. In every painting movement is expressed through natural characters and things. The city is 'taken aback' by the camera shot, which portrays what could wrongly appear like chaos, but is, in fact, the order and history of one of the oldest cities in the world.

john grande

myartspace id:jgrande1

BIOGRAPHY:

John Grande is a contemporary painter inspired by life and the dramatic events that mold us as a race. His approach to painting is influenced by color photography and the principals of custom c printing. For seven years John Grande printed for the likes of fashion photographers Annie Leibowitz, Jack Pearson and Giles BenSimon for such magazines as Harpers Bazaar, Vanity Fair and ... It is no wonder we see aspects of both the physical process and emphatic content from this formative period in his current paintings. In his recent works John Grande creates compelling paintings that combine the “dramatic components of power with the perfect proportion of mystery ” to mark world history with significant grace. Each work of art skillfully stimulates imagination, while commemorating dramatic and profound world events. Grande's works render definitive poise, echoing reflections of the immeasurable consequences of peril by the components of power in his distinct and dramatic renditions of world chaos. He marks each crisis by a unique symbol of mystery tempered by innocence and idealistic beauty portrayed by mannequins. The paintings elude to the consequences of destruction, leaving everything in between and thereafter, a mystery that only history and media can properly define. It doesn’t take an expert in art to recognize talent in an artist. It takes perspective, and directive exposure to recognize the creativity of a true artist. Grande's New York City mannequins idealize the process of recovery that his home city has drastically experienced, giving rise to direct relation of profound disaster that can serve to inspire forged refinement, beyond simple recovery, to the whole world. The imagery of the paintings once veiwed will never be forgotten.

Jamie McCartney

myartspace id:Critical-I

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in the middle of London’s swinging sixties, Jamie took his fine art degree in the USA before returning to England to develop his career. With a painter for a mother and an engineer for a father perhaps it was inevitable Jamie would combine both of those influences to become a sculptor. His degree in Experimental Studio Art was the right choice for this artist who is always pushing boundaries. Experimenting with non traditional materials, found objects and new processes, Jamie constantly challenges himself to find new sculptural languages. After setting up a metalworking forge in London creating incredibly dynamic steel animals, Jamie was seduced by the film industry. Working as a sculptor and prop maker on blockbusters like Blackhawk Down and Casino Royale, Jamie honed is skills and learnt to master many new techniques and materials. He now employs those methods in tandem with his fine art training to produce his extraordinary and unusual sculptures.

Carl Gopal (Gopalkrishnan)

myartspace id:carlgopalkrishnan

BIOGRAPHY:

UK-born Carl Gopal (aka Gopalkrishnan) is a painter working in acrylic, mixed media and photography. Writing is also part of his the process, with many of Carl’s texts appearing on his canvases. Most recently he has contributed an essay to the Virginia-based international artists’ journal The Daily Chronicle (2008). Social and political commentary has become central to his paintings since 2001. Carl has explored educational legislation in the US with cover art for Social Policy Magazine (artwork on the review of The No Child Left Behind Act by Congress in 2007) in New Orleans. He questioned anti-terrorism legislation with his cover photograph for international experimental arts journal Front Magazine in 2008 in Vancouver, Canada. More recently Carl’s art was featured in Indonesian arts and culture magazine Drexter (2009); New York literary journal Literal Latte (cover art and gallery feature, 2009); and the UK’s leading queer literary journal Chroma (a painting of President Obama, 2009). Carl hasn’t taken the traditional road in his art practice and, though he spends much time on reflection and research, he still describes his instinctual approach to painting as closer to Outsider traditions. His Indian and Chinese heritage has also instilled in him a respect for art inspired by spirituality and Consciousness. It is a contradiction he feels comfortable with. “I knew a long time ago that I mixed things up more than others. I mix mediums, concepts, words and processes and they all come out at once. It’s not logical to others, but to me, well, it makes perfect sense. But it takes real work, and as you delve deeper you focus on quality. These days I might only produce anywhere between 12-20 paintings a year, but they are resolved pieces, completed thoughts. The process is all on the canvas.” The Road Less Travelled Starting out as a typographer/fabric designer in the 80s and then working in an art gallery for several years in the early 90s, Carl evolved his own creative process. Over the years he added academic studies in sociology and politics to his self-taught technique, often spending months in research, reflection and experimentation before touching a canvas. Striving to explore the murky divide between history, personal experience and metaphor, he has found himself exploring what consciousness really means. These questions drove his 2006 exhibition, Sedition and Other Bedtime Stories. It was a ‘child’s exploration of anti-terrorism legislation’ in Australia, but also a journey through archetypal symbols in today’s political rhetoric. He later turned his lens to quantum physics and its effects on our internal narratives in his exhibition We’ll Always Have Paris – bent tales from the sub-atomic in 2008. Unlike most art/science collaborations, he explored ordinary stories, and the way we construct our realities. Carl also returned to his earlier urban roots and began mixing stencils, spray and printmaking with his more traditional painting tools. Among his recent projects are a series of canvases exploring the new Obama administration in the US. It’s less of a messianic deliberation on Obama than an ensemble piece exploring how this new administration may affect our lives. It has irony and humour - the new chief-of-staff changes species along the way. And complexity as Carl struggles to understand the mythic energies arising between people in the world at this time in history, especially in the Middle East peace process. Carl works from his studio in Perth, Western Australia.

roxy in the box

myartspace id:roxyinthebox

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in 1967 in Naples, Rosaria Bosso, alias Roxy in the box, lives and works there. Roxy takes her school leaving certificate at the Art School; she specializes in Fashion design at the Naples Fashion Academy in 1988 and then in Fresco at the Building Institute of Bologna in 1993. Eclectic in her art, she develops video-art and elaboration of images, installation and acrylic painting, offering to our senses a polyhedral and ironic imaginary made of a neo-pop taste of colour with sharp strokes and no shades. Unlike the current use of digital technology, Roxy works with computers to project the first glamour-made image, that she makes comics-alike plasticized before painting with acrylic, all becoming a free hand work. Her first experiences are concentrated on painting correlated to manipulation of widely use goods, from NUTELLA to powder detergents, following a new-dada philosophy, and creates ironic hints with her works, by playing with packaging ? see the original group of the coloured blue-hair transvestite, an improbable testimonial of an improbable spreading chocolate, named Femmenella. With a clear social background satirically formed, Roxy is always ironical about obsessions, habits, customs, feelings and everyday commonplaces without pedantry, only to make us think about them with a smile.

Alexis Baranek

myartspace id:alexisart

BIOGRAPHY:

I was born in St. Augustine, Florida, and spent a number of years in Charleston, S.C. as well as a few other places. Living in such beautiful, historic cities as St. Augustine and Charleston have really increased my appreciation for all things art related. As a child receiving art supplies was always one of the best gifts anyone could give me! After spending 10 plus years in the administrative field and wishing I could escape, I was finally able to direct more of my attention to art after moving to Lake City in 1986. Here I live in the country with my husband, two cats and one extremely energetic dog. My daughter is grown and recently made me a grandmother and I'm hoping one day to be able to teach my grandchildren all I can learn about creating art. My education comes from reading and studying numerous books by many successful artists, visiting museums and shows and a LOT of practice and experimentation. My earliest works are focused on landscapes in oil or acrylic in a fairly realistic style. I find much inspiration in views from my own property located across from a farm or trips to the mountains and seashore and I continue to develop my landscape series through new experiences. Venturing into the more abstract mixed-media, I recently began creating a loose colorful and highly textured body of work that I find unique, extremely enjoyable and I feel I've achieved success in this. The many colors in the layers and transparent areas are visible among the many textures and painterly shapes of these depth-filled works. My experimentation contributes to my enthusiasm and never-ending discovery of inspiration in surprising places. For me, my creativity is kept alive by being able to try many things - different subject matter and mediums and working in both the realistic and the abstract. Color and texture and the wonderful effects they achieve in combination with light and form are what I feel my work is about.

Pierre Loo

BIOGRAPHY:

Born and lived most of his life in the city that never sleeps-Hong Kong, Pierre deliberately had interest and intensity in Art when he was a child. Having spent time in Canada, Peru, China and USA, he believes image is the common language of all culture. His first public art piece exhibit in 1990 won him a MdN International Awards and Broadway Hensey scholarship. He was also awarded the AGFA scholarship, which sponsored him to the San Francisco Art Institute as an exchange scholar. After the 3 years of BA(hon) degree graduate with a honor in Hong Kong, his image work and photography have been exhibited globally including USA, China, Brazil and Hong Kong. 1993 exhibition name " Social Documentary in Hong Kong" Sponsor by Agfa were held with some well known photographers and artist, Pierre’s work has been highly comments and been call as "Hong Kong Richard Avardon". Crossing between commercial art and fine art circles, Pierre found it interesting yet frustrating. In 1996, he came to the United States of America to further explore his aesthetic ideas and earned his BFA in Fine Art. His work has been seen with rich impact and emotional mood that involve between social culture and art world. With a Fascinating Surrealism style of digital imaging and paper collage, his ideas reflect his current emotion towards life, love and the society. He believes: “Using other person’s image to make collages feels like using other’s hand to slap their own faces.” Seeing comes before reading, images are the most powerful weapon in this generation. He believes that by creating powerful images, he can make this world a better place.

Lela Erlenwein

myartspace id:lelaerlenwein

BIOGRAPHY:

...Without words or is there life after art?These pictures represent nothing. What is there to see? Strange forms, compositions, structures. Here and there they remind us vaguely of something familiar. These pictures are not constructed nor are they composed. They don’t show proportions nor do they show rythm. Colour is in part present but it takes itself back not becoming the subject and not a mediator of moods. Just as much as these pictures are not trying to tell stories about a person, even the artist, they tell their own. Their being is not demanding attention and, no trace of compassion and magnificent creation is envisaged. No tricky detail is demonstrating technical virtuosity. Not even a remarkable patience in uniformity and repitition invite for admiration. These pictures do not show themselves as product of hard labour, nor are they the result of spontaneous outbursts. They represent no chaos and no order. Just as they do not try to categorise themselves, the cannot be categorised. They are not insinuating admiration of an idol from the artworld, nor do they admire idols outside of art. One wonders if they enjoy their freedom of the chosen lack of any relationship and, it seem that they themselves are stunned about their boldness which undoubtedly demands great strenghts. So if these pictures represent anything than it will be firstly this:They show – as paintinsg – that there is a world beyond painting, beyond what can be painted. Here the impossible is the obvious. Thus being a wonderful prospect. (Dr. Susanne Weiss)

Melissa Setterington

myartspace id:melissasetterington

BIOGRAPHY:

For a Nicaraguan, living in the United Kingdom for the last twenty-five years has sometimes been difficult. Those of us who live away from our homeland have the challenge of absorbing the new culture whilst adjusting our values and being true to ourselves. The differences in cultures have produced a strong feeling of suspension and a sense of wonder of where it is that I truly belong. I feel that there are huge polarities between cultures and émigrés have to deal, at one point or another with these differences. All the problems arising from the “conundrum of cultures” are what the world is struggling to adjust to today. The tension produced by this is what I explore through my work; how to represent it visually, succinctly and aesthetically. I work with polarities: the dynamics of shapes and forms expressed in a controlled/expressive, cold/hot, hard-edged/blurred-edged way. Representing them within a strong but simple composition; shapes that fight against each other in a space. I have developed a methodology which includes the development of a series of drawings followed by further studies through Collage, Paintings and/or Relief work. I have been inspired by Ellesworth Kelly’s simplicity, Mark Rothko’s subtlety and Sandra Blow’s dynamic expression.

Ann Mc Cormick

myartspace id:annmccormick

BIOGRAPHY:

Ann Mc Cormick (Born in Ireland, lives and works in Berlin) Statement about "Urban nature / organic structure - views on usefulness and Glück" The recent change of direction in my work from a lanscape to an urban environment, has instinctively enabled my work to move from a flat rectangular plane to a more spatial environment. In so doing, freeing my work from an allusion to an external reality and making the work itself become the focus of attention. Themes such as impermanence, presciousness (discarded simple materials having their own value and beauty), the notion that structural and organic elements can feed off each other. An organic object can become a structure and a structural object can become a raw organic object. Order is created out of what may be considered disorder and vice versa. I refer to artists such as Marcel Duchamp who took everyday objects and recharged them with a renewed value and poetry. The colourfield artist Richard Diebenkorn, who dealt with the fundamental formal elements of abstract painting; pure, unmodulated areas of color; flat, two-dimensional space, in his cityscapes and ocean park paintings. The supremetist artist Kasimir Malevich who reduced subject matter to simplified Elements; pure form and pure feeling. I see my paintings as openings to another dimension of reality, where people, objects, contexts and emotions, the landscape of everyday life have their own truth. In the process of expressing these truths, I am opening up my understanding of the medium aswell as of the world around me through the use of colour, form, structure and materials.

Born and rised in Barcelona, Spain, still around most of the time. I did my some years at the fine arts school in Barcelona ending with specialization in Painting and Etching, if that is possible. Making images is the only thing that always has really moved me. During all the formation years after school I had many different odd jobs but kept painting and studying furiously in my studio. I did my first big solo show only three and some years ago, once convinced I had reached my own language, style and sufficient technical skills. Since that first show I've found myself living from painting.

BIOGRAPHY:

It started as a mere observation of human interaction with the environment, a fragile skeleton of an old woman feeding pigeons that were fatter than she. This led me to an image of a grossly obese woman feeding pigeons, only the pigeons were skeletons and they were very, very nervous. Nervous Bird continues to evolve. The majority of these works are mixed media paintings including, but not limited to, the use of motor oil, gold leaf, makeup pigments, oil paint, graphite & auto body paint. There are some illustrations and a large installation piece that includes a bird/human hybrid and nests. The installation is titled "At What Cost?" Currently working on a short animated film using various techniques as an extension of my new work, Nervous Bird II: Riddles. Also working on Eaten by Predators/Dissected by Children, which is a mixed media series based on rat bones that have been excavated from owl pellets by children at Lied Discovery Children's Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada

BIOGRAPHY:

Welcome to 3Fine Design®. My name is Tracy Behrends & I'm a contemporary jewelry artist & designer currently located in Minneapolis, MN (USA). For several of my designs I use a hand stitched (off-loom) bead weaving technique called embellished right angle weave. I particularly enjoy the intricacy & challenges associated with tiny seed beads, needles & various beading threads. It's a very time consuming process with an abundance of love & gratification woven into every stitched piece. In addition, a few of my other passions include designing beaded cabochons (using bead weaving & bead embroidery techniques), creating wire sculpture pendants & hand carving leather. It's my fascination with detail & the beauty of the finished product that make the stitching, wrapping & tooling process particularly captivating. I consider each & every new design an exciting adventure. My past experience & love for graphic arts significantly influence my jewelry designs. My affinity for symmetry, texture, geometric shapes, bright colors, simplicity & rhythmic patterns is readily apparent in the pieces that I create. It's not only the completed product that brings a sense of joy & personal satisfaction but the entire creative process. From concept to the finishing touches, each individual journey compels me to stretch & grow. It's within the maturation experience & the challenges along the way that I find artistic fulfillment.

Liz Maruska

myartspace id:maruska

BIOGRAPHY:

Liz Maruska’s art is adventurous and bold, nostalgic yet contemporary. Like the expansive west coast she has explored, her work offers a bright and thriving world. Maruska’s approach is versatile – her landscapes, florals and abstractions have been shown on floors, city banners, walls, cars, delicate six inch canvases and wrapped city buses. Maruska has exhibited throughout California and can be found in private collections across the country. Coming from a diverse background of art education and business, Maruska, with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, started a foundation to revitalize urban areas. In addition, Maruska has been awarded numerous civic projects, most recently her local public transit system, where she has wrapped a fleet of city buses in her work. The buses currently make their local route where she lives on the beautiful coastal border of Northern and Southern California. Another “roving museum” art project is her vehicle work. Her first piece was a fantastic old Cadillac which she painted and named “When Matisse met Jackson Pollack.” She fell in love with the “huge engine” and couldn’t help pouring money into it to fix it up and get it street worthy. Driving her art, she received universal acclaim for the work, from retirees to teenage boys. She would return to her car to find kisses on the windshield. She continues to paint cars, but it is the idea of an outdoor museum for all that she hopes to accomplish this year. Her artistic influences are the American Landscape Painters of the 19th Century who worked to show the raw glory and the new world, and believed studying the land could lead to enlightenment. She trained at Stanford with art pioneers of California, including the abstract expressionist, Frank Lobdell and figurative painted and print maker Nathan Oliveira. Even Maruska’s tiniest landscapes pack a punch of life-force and reverence toward nature, such as “Soft Sunset,” acrylic, 12” x 9”. Captured in the power of her sunsets, the unusual appeal of fuchsia and cerulean, there is an uncynnical joy in the world she shares. As seen in the “All that is Glorious Around Us” series, both summer and winter, as the lapping tide caresses the coast, and the clouds swell and gather, the world is aglow and as it should be. Notable in this world is the absence of trash, the power lines, and power plants; nor are there people, or any other decrepit signs of industry that may very well have been in the scene. It is a youthful west she paints. In “Baroque Sunset at the Inlet” there is a blood stopping richness in the dramatic scene, but still there is nothing ominous. She has combined the 19th Century influences, with the preciousness in the treatment of each marsh grass climbing up the rocks, blowing in the breeze, with abstract expressionism in the quality of her inlets, the passionate clarity and depth of blues in the water, and the intensely personified orchids of another series. “Crimson Sunset” is an expressionistic sunset, suggestive of Munch, on other artists would perhaps read as dark. Under Maruska’s gaze, this is gorgeous life, enveloping the land and sea. There is tenderness in the way the light disperses through the water and softness of the hillside. IN fact, in all of Maruska’s work there is gentleness, as there are no sharp lines, just expansive light merging land and sea. Many of her work reach the full impact at a slight distance, when the abstract minutia blends into majestic realistic scenes. Maruska lives in a unique part of the coast of California, nestled in the cliffs. Starting at the wilderness from her vantage point, she remarks she can trace the volcanoes left on the land. Consumed with the beauty of the sky over the ocean, cycles of the sun and moon offer new subjects for her work. She paints colors, such as in the “Glorious skies” series as she has actually experienced it. She sees the breathtaking California, the youngest part of industrialized America. There are no neutrals in Maruska’s world, she openly admits. The majority of her canvases are done in acrylic, but a hybrid kind of paint. This “fluid acrylic” offers the ease of acrylic, the ability to create translucent and transparent shades, and create a stain on the canvas similar to watercolor. All of her recent work is inspired by what is around her, and like the impressionists, she has a starting point photo which she starts the piece with, then abandons half way, as the painting takes over.
