GIOVANNI FRANKO

myartspace id:FRANKO

BIOGRAPHY:

Giovanni Franko Was born in Gorizia, Italy in 1944. After earning his diploma as “ Maestro d’Arte “ (Art Specialist) in the figurative arts, he dedicated several years to teaching. The special nature of his work comes to light in his pictorial-material construction, where we find a symbiosis between life, represented in the reliefs in the pictorial material, and hi chromatism that departs from ordinary time. Recent pictorial studies have become more evanescent in their form, oriented conceptually towards flourishing time scans that approach a poetica vision linked ti a ritual rich in synesthesia. Art historians and critics such as Gabriella Ardissone, Antonio Del Sal, Sandro Marini, Luciano Perissinotto and Paolo Rizzi, have been very interested in his works.

BIOGRAPHY:

Asseeva Elena is born on February 26th, 1975 in Gelendzhik (Russia). Currently lives and works in Afghanistan and UAE. Visual artist, Art historian, Graphic designer. Holds Ph.D. in Art History & Criticism (St. Petersburg, 2002), Member of the Union of Professional Designers of Russia (St. Petersburg Regional Union, 2001). Graduate of St. Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences (Art History & Marketing) and Kuban State University (Industrial Graphics & Design), Research Associate at Harvard University (Davis Center of Russian and Eurasian Studies, 2001-2003), winner of several grants of George Soros’ Center of Contemporary Arts (St.Petersburg). In 2004 Aseeva Elena’s PhD research “Russian Abstract Art in 1950-80th ” was awarded with grant of President of Russia’ Council for support of young Russian Scientists and Schools. As Chief Designer, Creative Director and Director of Marketing was working for such international companies as Animation Magic Inc., corporation "Gloria Jeans", AQUENT, Interaction Marketing, Venco Development Corporation, etc. The founder of Design School "ICL" in Gelendzhik. The author of educational programs for Design School "ICL". The participant of numerous projects and contests of the art portal “Hieroglyph – Art Critique” (http://hiero.ru), one of the authors of creative group «Exile-art.ru». Artistic Statement For the long time I have been the faithful adherent of Design, being absolutely convinced supporter of such point of view, that Traditional Art (I mean Painting and Graphics), as the form of activity, is going to disappear and that, sooner or later, it will be absorbed by Advertising and dissolved in Commercial Design. As well as I was sure that traditional artists will disappear as unnecessary part of evolution. Certainly, that occurs around us right now, and we are witnessing some "Merging & Acquisition " deal, in which Traditional Art plays role of weak, almost bankrupt, element . Traditional Art is desperately trying to find itself a place in the world of Hi-Tech and globalization. On the one hand, you can comfortably sit in a nice leather chair of Creative Director, designing AD campaigns for the Plastic Surgery Clinics, watching indifferently how Art is sinking in the world of consumption and don’t do anything. Or (another option) is to tell yourself, smiling clients and everybody around: “Enough is enough”, then to find an old dusty easel on the attic and to send everything else to the hell. Being an Russian artist I'm eager, first of all, to fulfill the gap that happened as a result of Soviet Era, when Modern Art was almost destroyed by Classic Tradition forcefully obliged upon the artists. Sometimes I feel that academic education was something that gave me a lot, since Salvador Dali once told to the artists "first study to paint as old masters did, and after you can go to the modern arts". In my art-works I try to reveal the deep philosophy which was always hidden in Folk Russian art that once was little opened by Russian Avangard. I want to show to the world all the beauty of spirituality of Russian Tradition, which was always more Eastern, rather than Western. Art for me is an opportunity to put everything, what I was able to learn by living several lives, in one. And still, it is an attempt to justify my existence and conscience before those generations of Russian artists and poets who risked their lives believing that Art can “rescue the world”.

TALIA BEN ZION

myartspace id:talia

BIOGRAPHY:

Talia, 1950, Israeli born. Talia studied Criminology & Sociology at Bar-Ilan University. She was always fascinated and drawn to the Arts. Ex-curiculum, she studied painting, drawing, sculpture and graphic design. Talia began sculpting more intensively, constantly exploring & expressing with new materials and shapes with a deep conviction that her works of art have powers on their observers. Talia continued working also on the "out of the art" world (news paper team, in a TV station and in a closed psychiatric rehabilitation facility), always reaching and enriching her dialogue and acquaintance with people. People will become the main topic for her works. Around 1998 she finds her own formal expression in sculpture and dedicates herself to sculpture. This very fruitful phase is marked by Talia's exhibits at Arbel Gallery, Tel-Aviv on 2001. Later that year Talia is diagnosed with breast cancer. Talia fights the disease with vast intensity of works. She discovers the magical healing power in her own work. Fear, frustration, sadness, loneliness & hope generate a new flow of bronze works accompanied by self written poems. Her ideas for floating- yet-connected subjects and shapes were inspired by her meditating, the movement up"taking off" and the use of symbols as birds and hands are recurring in most pieces and suggesting pray & strong hope. On 2003 Talia celebrates her recovery with a new exhibit called "passage of life". Her ReBirth sculpture is awarded to the chairperson of the cancer society on the organization 50th anniversary. The sculptures & the poems are displayed simultaneously at galleries in Tel-Aviv, Haifa & in Petach Tikva, gaining praises & recognition. www.taliabz.co.il

Tony Juliano

myartspace id:agooart

BIOGRAPHY:

Award winning satirist artist Tony "Baloney" Juliano is not your normal painter. With his wacky, single panel, lush, comic like paintings dealing with quick puns, whimsical sayings, ironic sadness, and his penchant for parodying other famous artists, Tony makes art laughable in colorful complimentary painted frames. Tony is a graduate from Paier College of Art with a BFA in Illustration and is a successful free-lance artist since 1997. Tony's resume includes commissioned murals from Stew Leonards to The Peabody Museum, comics, illustrations, photography and art lessons. Being teased and picked on by his classmates, he developed a childish made-up nickname. He was called Agoo. That name hounded him for years, so turning lemons into lemonade it seemed fitting that he calls his work "AGOO ART" Tony also sells his artwork as magnets, matted prints and comic books at a variety of art festivals, comic cons, on-line, galleries, museums, and stores from California to Rhode Island. Tony is al Tony's art has been displayed all over the USA and the UK, such as York Square Gallery, John Slade Ely House, Real Art Ways The Art Coalition, CB's 313 Gallery, MoCCA, DeCordova Museum, Hygienic Art Gallery, La Viande, Artists Space, Artescape Studios, Limner Gallery, The Walker, l'art Noir New Orleans and plenty more. Tony's shows tend to be more of a circus than your typical art opening. With a following of fans that come as chickens, purple cows, robots, monsters, accordion players, sumo wrestlers, Santa Clause and The CT Roller Girls. Even Tony get's dressed up in unique outfits too for his exhibitions. Some of Tony's influences are MAD magazine, Spumco, Dan Clowes, Julie Doucet, Charles Burns, Chester Brown, Shag, Mark Ryden, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, and of course Gary Larson. Other interests Tony has are toy collecting, comic books, art history, playing his accordion, wanna be filmmaker, and a very obsessed Godzilla fan. Tony currently lives in New Haven, Connecticut at the Agoo Art Studio with his beloved pet, Commander Hamster.

WENDY BANDURSKI-MILLER

BIOGRAPHY:

I always think that artists live their art it is not just something that one 'creates' or does its actually an approach to life....a philosophy if you will. I paint, i take photos i work with images i create in all i do... it is about living in the conscious moment to me. I think for myself my photography is about 'noticing' details and atmospheres and bring things to the attention of others..... I recently relocated from Australia to upstate New York. All is new and all is fodder for a visual creative mind. It is very exciting to allow oneself a childlike wonder in ones approach to the world. I consider what i do every day redreaming my world and ALL in all i attempt a 'considered' life and create myself new each day.

Jude DiPaolo

myartspace id:jude

BIOGRAPHY:

I was born and raised in the projects on the south side of Chicago, Illinois. During my childhood years I witnessed malice of all kinds, experienced many transitions, and saw several cultures. When I was nine years of age we moved to the northwest suburbs. I always found colorful meanings in what others found “foreign.” Curiosity got my imagination working and I would create narratives using art elements such as color, shapes and textures to communicate meanings. My parents found my art to be too suggestive and stopped me from drawing. During this time I would just create doodles that only I could understand. Time passed and art once again became very important to me. After a period of time experimenting with art I went back to school at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received my BFA and MAAT (Masters of Art and Art Therapy). I learned about the historical contexts in which artwork was seen and the meanings associated with art. I understood how certain materials, techniques and art elements can influence artwork. This knowledge of formal concepts has brought me to an understanding of how to further develop my art. The paintings that I exhibit now are a combination of minimal, abstract colorfield, and symbolism. My childhood ideas of color, culture and communication, using code appears to still permeate my creativity.

Christopher Buoscio

myartspace id:cbuoscio

BIOGRAPHY:

The paintings are of specific places at specific times. These are not random areas but places that I respond to on a personal level. My reaction can be a feeling of excitement, discovery, or of being overwhelmed at what I am encountering. These views connect to me in inexplicably familiar ways. These are not static places but ones that interact and confront me as they are approached. They are watching as well as being watched. I am interested in finding the hidden pieces of the landscape that people often pass without notice. Many times individual connections to the area are severed one by one with the passing of time, people and function. Only the structures remain, abandoned, forgotten, waiting. I feel I am refocusing the viewer's eye, giving a renewed attention to the beauty, strength, and timeless qualities these settings have. I consistently use architecture in my works to define the space. The different buildings I feel work together to create a unique environment and a unique impression on the viewer. Forms are stacked on top of structures, bands of light slide through illuminating areas while leaving others hidden. Layers of verticals and horizontals, and contrasts of dynamic and static shapes help to define the space and invite the viewer to look under or through or over. The paintings are staged under the drama of nightfall, the warmth of afternoon light, or under the startling quality of morning light. I am interested in the act of seeing. I am looking for quiet moments. I am looking for a sense of calmness and in capturing the sensation of viewing a space as a long pause. Though what I see and depict is my response to an environment in the present, I am also thinking of similar responses to the setting in the past, they are views that I feel have continued. I hope that I am bringing to the viewer's attention, enough information to generate a response equivalent to my own.

Liz Walker

BIOGRAPHY:

I'm a watercolor painter in Portland, Oregon, where I maintain a home studio, teach classes, and participate in local and regional art groups. I've discovered that there are two types of painters--those who start out with a specific idea in their head, and those who simply paint and see what develops. For me, the latter approach has produced some of my most exciting paintings. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Watercolor is Liz's preferred medium, but she also create works in mixed media, collage, and acrylics. Her paintings have been exhibited both locally and nationally and have won numerous awards. Many of her paintings are in private collections in Texas, Massachusetts, California, Colorado and Oregon.

Carole Bressan

myartspace id:Bressanc

BIOGRAPHY:

Française, née en 1973. "Aujourd'hui, ma peinture se lit comme un livre de voyages, réels ou imaginaires, tels des retranscriptions, des éveils plastiques. C'est en cela que la peinture m'invite à me retrouver." Peindre pour penser la vie et la contraster au jour le jour. Il y a mille états dans la démarche de l'artiste, mille âmes, autant de voies que de regards. Sorte de peinture objet, hors du temps, sans âge, hors de son époque : la toile est à voir, à sentir, comme une boîte à plaisirs, à emporter du regard. "En cela l'espace pictural trouve ma plénitude et m'emporte, a contrario il me bouleverse et m'assiège." L'Asie, son imagerie, ses codes graphiques, ses motifs traditionnels forment l'univers dans lequel Carole Bressan puise son inspiration. Partout des motifs qui en Occident sont perçus comme faisant partie d'une «esthétique kitsch» s'expriment, se conjuguent, respirent. Graphismes végétaux et autres, affirment une tradition du signe complexe, généreux, élégant: Cercles, figures entremêlées, vases intrépides, tout invite à la fantaisie. "Au gré de mes envies, je me laisse aller à des compositions colorées où le rouge domine souvent." La matière elle, dense et docile, alimente le regard et cultive ses joyaux, les papiers marouflés, papiers de culte, fils cousus. Quant à l'encre de Chine, elle caresse et rassure. Des coutures délimitent des moments, perturbent la vision, réaffirment la composition ou bien la contredisent. La marge, la frise, s'imposent et retiennent. Et s'il n'était d'ailleurs histoire que de ponctuation... de rythmes, de tonalités? "La matière m'anime, ses strates conversant, ses couches se confondant comme autant d'époques." Détérioration, grattage, retraits, effets d'usure, élaboration de filtres participent à une esthétique à la recherche de sa propre mémoire. Ici la rigueur d'un schéma se conjugue à la fièvre d'une imagerie gourmande. Les saveurs de la désinvolture et celles de multiples sagesses féminines sont à retenir..

BIOGRAPHY:

I create oil paintings in a classical style which parody the notion of the gendered self. My work explores the idea that femininity is a performance and that all women learn to perform this role through images which surround them daily. I make reference to the classical nude, pin up girl and burlesque artist to highlight the impossibility of attaining the so called ideal and the humorous and slightly tragic outcome when a subject attempts to embody ideal femininity

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.

Cesar Garcia

myartspace id:cgarcia

BIOGRAPHY:

Cesar Garcia was born in Havana, Cuba in 1961; his first encounter with the arts was through his uncle, a Cuban Artist who learned his trade at the world-renowned San Alejandro Academy of Arts. Garcia moved to the United States in 1969 and has never forgotten those moments that as a child he experienced in his uncle’s studio: images that live in him and are always a part of him. Garcia’s passion for the arts has always lived in his heart and soul, every minute of his life. His fascination with the great masters has helped him better understand the need to express himself in a totally different form. His inclination is unique. His work is of a figurative nature in a surrealist style, which marks a panorama of complex creativity yet, simple presentation of form and composition. His work touches the inner soul of various cultures with all its ethnic influences. His attack upon the painting’s surface is conceived after a process of inspiration from within. He analyzes his feelings and state of mind that preoccupies the artistic arrangement of forms, inner language and symbols. Garcia describes his work as being the ultimate antithesis of classical form. He paints with his soul and imagination and tells a story on every single occasion. His work can be found in several public collections including the Division of Cultural Affairs (State Art Collection) Tallahassee, Florida, Housatonic Museum of Art in Bridgeport, Connecticut, University of Miami (Casa Bacardi) Institute for Cuban and Cuban-America Studies, Village of Wellington (Art in public Places) and many other institutions, foundations and recognized collections rendering him an important Cuban-American artist of his generation.
