Pontillas work’s has started conceptualize his idea by on creating of an
pontifical concept, CROWDED, has a Pontillas trademark, a bravura
handling of pigment: thick, rich impastos slathered with an almost childlike
joy, This configuration of crowd scenes and lush impastos constitute the
highly spirited art of Pontillas. at this point and time we can see and feel in
our hearts that many things had happened in our environment. We can see
progress in the industrial development such as, there is the skyway, the
uprising skyscrapers and boom of condos, the flyover, the LRT and MRT,
the Malls, Food house, and Department stores. Wherein the Filipinos are
benefactors of this progress and success. its tells how busy life and the
truck is, from different walks of life you must seen crowds, rich and poor
people are victim of monstrous traffic jam in metro manila. No matter how
hard and the longer it tries for our government leaders to solve this
problem, it becomes attached to what purports to be a symbols of
progress. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| MARIA ONYEGBULE
BA (Hons) Art & Design – University Of Central England (UCE)
PGCE Post Grad in Education - Wolverhampton University
Maria was born in Birmingham, UK. Raised in an African/Italian family environment (African father, Italian Mother). She began her art studies in 1970 at the Bournville School of Art. She then went on to study Fashion/costume and Textiles, but later resumed her studies of fine arts.
Throughout her career as an artist, Maria has exhibited her work, worked in collaboration with other artists and co-ordinated arts community based projects. She has taught a range of art subjects, within schools, colleges and University level. Since graduating with Honours from The University of Central England in 1999 she has developed her working practices within a broader context, such as: Paintings, Textiles and 3D.
Maria draws her inspiration from many different sources: Travel, Literature and more personal issues. Her new body of work is inspired by her own cultural heritage, including her travels through Africa and the diverse African culture.
Her experiences of Africa are not just as a traveller but also as a resident, living with the people and their culture as an African. Her own colourful diverse family heritage inspires her work and working practices.
A freelance artist working from her studio in Birmingham. She is also a Visiting Lecturer at the Walsall college of Art teaching Drawing, Painting and Printmaking.
ARTISTS COMMENT
Living abroad has influenced my use of colour,especially the colours of Africa.
My work is personal in some respect and rooted very deeply in my African heritage. I'm exploring my own self-identity through art my father being African and my mother Italian I feel I have a rich heritage and diverse background. My work interprets form, texture,decoration,pattern design and colour within the African invironment. I also focus on the simple everyday life and culture of the people and their surroundings.
African art is neither strictly traditional or western in style, rather there is a fusion of elements transending time and place. I explore this concept in my work. But in short my work shows a cultural diversity, my cultural diversity and that of Africa.
Mediums used; Painting(oil on
canvas),Textiles,Drawing
and 3D.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I studied Architecture, Visual Arts, Fashion Design and Engineering and the combination of the four made me what I am today. I am still experimenting, always learning, trying to defy rules, searching ways to positively shock the eye and the mind and looking forward to the discovery of the unknown. My technique is based on using various thickness of paint and adding multiple layers in order to obtain tri-dimensional effects and create natural shadows. My artwork slowly navigates from a 2 dimensional surface to a 3D visualization of the moment to be captured, embedded in geomorphic, organic textures and shapes. The colors vary from subdued tones of earthy gold to bright reds and mixing mediums will help solidify the artistic mess into an architecturally sound structure with a perfect balance of form and vision, my vision. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I started to paint as a hobby in 2002 when I was living in Spain. I discovered that art is communication with all the dynamics of music or dance or speech. An observer may simply see form and colour, texture and shape and wonder why it can have such a profound effect on them. I see spent passions, whispered promises, curses and conversations where the brush is my voice and the canvas my soul. Painting helps me live 'in the moment', where I can lose myself and forget the nonsense of living. My art explores abstract and representational themes, with each theme reflecting, conversely, the other: 'order into chaos' and 'chaos into order'."

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| A typical Barbara McGivern painting vibrates with barely restrained energy. Boldly composed and saturated with colour, her canvases are basically abstract. The square has become one of her favourite devices, but she is also inspired by the shapes and colours of landscape.
"I have found that the gold has added an empowering element to my paintings by adding a richness that could never be achieved with any other material. I paint over it, drip paint on it and sometime cover it up completely because I did not like the painting and started over...there are many paintings out there with layers of gold under them...but you can not melt the gold down as it is so fine and wafer thin....but I could not use anything else but real gold..

|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Performance painting, poetry slam champion, interactive art with young children - such activities are not the normal profile of a committed and intensely serious-minded and hugely prolific artist but then Richard Heley's whole creative career has not followed any remotely conventional pattern. Born in Bedfordshire in 1950, he emigrated, aged 15, with his whole family, to Australia. It was a liberating decade spent there during which he quickly and, for the first time, became aware of the strength of his creative instincts and though he would have loved to go on to art school, family economics dictated a teacher training course at the Melbourne College of Education where Richard found himself among some remarkably gifted and passionate teachers, most particularly in the sculpture class. Though this was not to prove his particular artistic direction, one senses, from the way he talks about this period of his life, that it was the attitude of this particular teacher, which has stayed with him ever since. But, not long after finishing there, a nostalgia for home and the fate of his village football team (of which he and an 80 year old man had been virtually the sole supporters!) drew him back to England where, painting and performing furiously, he has been based ever since. As might be expected from all of this, the painting that has emerged, particularly over the last ten years or so as he has slowly started to focus on his own rather than his more collaborative artistic activities, reflects this extreme unconventionality. Frequent return visits to Australia, travels through the islands of Indonesia alongside the liberating impact of working closely with children and writing and performing poetry, has resulted in work teeming with rich and exuberant imagery, bold, painterly touches and brilliant colour - Gauguin meets Chagall meets Sidney Nolan - with English restraint and reticence nowhere to be seen, thank goodness! Thus in one of the larger canvases 'Welcome to Circus Earth', a quite astonishing gallery of images focusing around a tightrope artist walking in front of an advertising hoarding includes a huge, leering, day-glo green chameleon, a purple translucent fish acrobat, a wriggling baby suspended by his nappies from the high wire artist's rope and still being painted as we speak, a figure about to be shot from a cannon! The same generosity of imagination is no less apparent in the smaller acrylics on paper either, trees and plants transforming into female faces and figures, islands in shimmering blue Pacific seas forming sparkling abstract compositions and, again, taking on human forms. Richard Heley talks a lot about the need he feels to be able to "let go" in the making of such work, and it is his success in doing just that, which enables us, as spectators, to enter his imaginative world with such freedom and exhilaration.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| "My style of sculpture represents the movement known as Modular Constructivism, which grew into its maturity and popularity in the 50's and 60's." - Norman Carlberg
Born in 1928 in Roseau, Minnesota, Norman Carlberg has received international acclaim. He studied at the Minneapolis School of Art and University of Illinois, followed by Yale University after Josef Albers met with Carlberg and looked at his advertising work done while serving in the Air Force from 1951 to 1955, and got him into Yale. Immediately thereafter, Albers left for Europe, leaving a strong influence behind at Yale; Albers was world-renowned and had studied and taught at the Bauhaus in Germany prior to his Yale tenure. Carlberg was appointed instructor in Sculpture at the Yale University School of Art and Architecture from 1957-58, and became Assistant Instructor in Design from 1958-59 while pursuing his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Fine Arts there.
It was at Yale that Carlberg's fine arts colleague Irwin Hauer introduced the concept of design units, or modules, to him. Carlberg has identified his style of sculpture as Modular Constructivism, which grew into its maturity and popularity in the 50's and 60's. Carlberg was for the most part a Minimalist sculptor, concerned with the formal above almost all else, executed with a deliberate process: "I felt a part of a group that (was devoted to) a kind of formal, critical thinking and was not very much at ease with thinking of art in other terms; you analysed, you looked at something, but you looked at it formally just for what it was and the message was almost always out of it." (Interview, Maryland Art Place, 1996). While a modular approach could lead one to assume that his sculptures are made of repetitive units, Baltimore Sun art critic John Dorsey asserts otherwise: "By varying not only the shape of the individual module but its scale (as well as the scale of the piece as well), its color, its bulk, its complexity and the way it interacts with other modules, Carlberg increases the interest of his work with each added sculpture." (John Dorsey, "Sculpture Benefits from Retrospective," Baltimore Sun, June 20, 1996)
After his work at Yale, Carlberg taught from 1960 to 1961 at Universidad Católica in Santiago, Chile, then took the position of director of the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1961. He remained at MICA for 35 years.
Sculpturally, Carlberg worked in brass, plaster, and steel. Carlberg works by making objects, with some preliminary sketching, if any. He also produced prints as well as photographs of city details he found sculpturally interesting, such as concrete columns, "ribbons of freeways that float," and textures of dirt and rocks on the ground. (Interview, 1996) A number of his photographs, including one entitled Jones Falls Expressway (1993), have received critical acclaim and recognition for their expressionistic as well as formal attrubutes. He produced collages in 1972 while in Chile on sabbatical from MICA of which he wrote, "I think that many of the forms that I make are very formal but I find (them) very sensuous," adding, "I think that both of these, the formalism in the sculpture and the eroticism and such in the collages both reflect my interests. One cannot be the other - there wasn't a form that could be both." (Interview, 1996)
Carlberg's work was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in 1959 in a show entitled, "Recent Sculpture USA." He has a few pieces in collections in Australia done in collaboration with Harry Siedler, and his work is in the permanent collections of the Addison Gallery of American Art at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, New York, the Art and Architecture Gallery at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Guggenheim Museum and The Baltimore Museum of Art. The Rouse Company, based in Columbia, Maryland, also holds his work. Commissions include a modular screen at the lobby of Baltimore City Hospital and a massive modular column for Northern Parkway Junior High School. He had a retrospective exhibition in 1996 at Maryland Art Place which exhibited his work in prints, sculpture and photography, and which celebrated the centennial of MICA's Rinehart School of Sculpture.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| 26-year-old Brisbane artist Anthony Lister takes the edgiest elements of contemporary pop culture and marries them with unstructured representations of his urban environment to create artworks which are surreal in their imagery but strangely familiar in terms of their thematic base. After graduating from the Queensland College of The Art in 2001, Lister did a mentorship under Max Grimblett in New York and has since been a part of nine solo shows in Australia, Europe and America.
‘Jesus may as well be Superman, God is better understood as ‘The Force’, and the Devil is more easily recognised within the actions of our politicians and global corporate entities. These are our contemporary codes of living practice. Our urban mythology is now translated through comic books and television sitcoms. The distinction between good and bad plague our existence in every way yet remain ambiguous in their representation.’ Anthony Lister, 2007
In his new body of work, Brisbane born artist, Anthony Lister, investigates our media-saturated Manichean beliefs and customs with a unique sharpness. With his own undeniable sense of twist, he teases, mocks and plays with emblematic characters and situations to give way to a deeper understanding of our society. Now living in New-York, Lister has growing international success with solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne, London and New York. He is representing Australia at the 2007 International Art Fair in Milan. |

| Kate Shaw |
| myartspace id:kateshaw |
|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| My work engages the tension between pictorial space and material surface to operate on both abstract and representational levels. In this way landscape is considered as a subjective, psychological space operating as a memory of a place. At the same time I am also addressing the memory of the material, the memory of paint to mimic other forms of the physical world. The paintings deal with the multiplicity of phenomena, flux, a perpetual becoming through the random pours and drips, mixtures of incompatibale mediums that crack and craze, and the suggestion of multiple viewing points.
The engagement with the tension between pictorial space and material surface is not intended to reinforce a nature/culture binary opposition but rather considers the idea of synthesis by collapsing surface and material, illusion and memory. My process is driven by the unique material properties of various concoctions of paint and techniques ranging from collage, pouring and airbrushing. The collage I deploy is akin to the Surrealist technique of decalcomania; by finding subconscious form in the materials. Random drips morph into stalactites or gnarled twists of a tree trunk; marbled passages of paint coalesce into eroded valleys, monochrome flows are frozen into glaciers or snowy peaks.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| In our world, on the surface, we go about our daily lives
breathing, thinking, sleeping, constantly moving, body
mass fluctuating bigger, smaller, hair growing, eyes
blinking. A never ending pattern of movement and growth.
Every action whether conscious or unconscious is dictated
by an emotion or desire. So much of what we do is
hidden from the naked eye. When time is slowed down a
different world and all of it's details emerges. A truer self,
intentions, motivations and desires becomes more apparent.
Subtle nuances become main events. A casual glance or
aversion of one's eyes, for a fraction of a second, turns into
a profound gesture suspended in time and brought forth
to the consciously aware world.
With my paintings I am attempting to show my subjects'
inner intentions, emotions, and motivations. The paintings
have an emotional dialogue with the painted subject and
viewer stripped of the conscious and unconscious facades.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| When I paint, or make tee shirts, I like to play with ideas in order to amuse the viewer. I often try designing images with separate styles in order to challenge myself into finding different ways to present similar ideas. Even when one style works I try to switch it up and keep things novel; optimistically I'm keeping things as light as possible. Since society has trained us to spend our days looking for deep symbolism, I like to challenge by suggesting my image doesn't have depth. By projecting the frivolous, I hope everyone can relax comfortably away from a feeling of duty associated with interpreting my images. Of course I encourage people to connect with what I do, but I like people to note that it is sometimes enough to see an image purely as an aesthetic element. Colors, content, humor, simplicity, meaning, shape or any of a hundred different criteria are all valid ways to look at images. I'm trying not to guilt trip viewers into feeling responsible for interpreting my images because they're in a certain medium. Both canvasses and tee shirts are cotton, have symbols and are as worthy of thought, or not, as you feel like giving them. |
