| 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. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I'm an artist currently residing in New York City. My work could be described as a form of Dark Symbolistic Expressionism. It is inspired by many things including: history (antiquity in particular), mythology, humanism, atheism, spirituality, the occult, paganism, fetishism, existential thought and fascination with the darker impulses of human nature. It begins with a mostly photographic base and then is manipulated, distorted or rearranged and sometimes combined with drawing, painting or other methods and then filtered by digital means, to create an art that expresses what is within rather than without.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I am an artist and visual explorer who uses the camera to capture new and often experimental visual ideas. My work has evolved from recording the beauty and variety of the external world as it presented itself to creating my own photographic subjects, as evidenced in my recent “Folds in Space†and “Fluid Moments†series. My work embodies the stylistic undercurrents of Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Dada, Conceptual Art and Minimalism; as well as reflecting my Northern European roots and the influences of a formal graduate education in art history and philosophy.
My photographs have been displayed or published by a variety of organizations including: the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, the BBC Collective Gallery; Boletin del Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Historico (PH 60) in Seville, Spain; Green Hills Literary Lantern, Detroit Free Press, File Magazine, Flak Photo, the permanent collection of the Meteor Photo Gallery, and the Agitatto Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland, which also represents my work throughout Europe.
I have been honing my photographic skills and aesthetic sense for over 35 years. I have worked as a professional photographer, off and on, for the past 18 years, undertaking assignments as diverse as architectural photography, executive portraits, special events and product packaging. I also have taught art history, philosophy and logic at various colleges and universities in Michigan and was chairman of the Humanities department at Duns Scotus College in the 1970s. I have two Masters degrees, one in Humanities and the other in Philosophy from Wayne State University.
I was born in a displaced persons (DP) camp in Augsburg, Germany of Estonian parents, and I immigrated to the United States in 1950. I grew up in Detroit and currently live in Plymouth, Michigan with my wife. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Born in Sepang, Selangor, MALAYSIA (1965).
Began painting seriously from 1995, while still working as Creative Director in Kuala Lumpur. After years of hardworking and going through a few stages of developments, and obsevation, my works has progressed through strokes, colours and techniques. I learned my arts through APS Art Class (Angkatan Pelukis SeMalaysia), the breeding of many of Malaysia's finest artists. When looking at my abstract art, I would like the viewers to be stirred by the movement of ideas in his unconscious mind even as they thinks they are looking at colours, and strokes.
" I want people to feel my paintings. I don't have a clear objective before painting. The meaning of each of my paintings is not immediately apparent. The ultimate reason for my art comes from the sudden urge I have. When I first begin a painting. I plan all aspects of the artwork in my mind. After that my mind contains no words only the completed work. And while I work, I like to play loud music, which energizes me. I believe that a good painting cannot be entirely expressed by word".
Remember good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us. Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.When you communicate with canvases year after year, things grow inside the paintings. Each colour and each stroke are the soul, through your eyes. Hence, I think what to paint is not important - what is important is how to paint.
WHAT IS ABSTRACT ART?
"Abstract art allows man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond and tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite".
Every brushstroke is imprinted with the memory of the artist's emotional and visual intention.
" Painting is a painful process; it forces the human figures in my painting into a state of pain and anxiety. I paint image of people tragic situations, and they express everything that I want to express. I don't want to paint what appears in the depths of my soul. I firmly believe that I can only reproduce my own image, actually, this is my only choice." - Zeng Fanzhi
An act of concrete beauty, and sense must discover in the work of art itself - abstraction made of the subject represented - an immediate satisfaction, a pure aesthetic pleasure.
Canvas is my journey, colours make a mood and enviroment and lines tell the story about the art.
"There's a lot to see in abstracts art. To me it's realistic. The moving strokes, the shapes, the colours, they tell many stories".
You cannot seperate painting from what happens in society ... the revolution and war, has taught the artists to say what they want in a indirect way.
Artist who produce works of substance and provenance. Genuine Artist is those with the talent to create iconic art that can withstand the test of time.
Art is highly subjective and emotional. Great art can always find a buyers because each artwork is unique, and not a commodity. There is a lot of money in the art world, but more of it only goes to a few people, these who have been picked up an by the collectors and whose works can sell for high amount of money!!!!!! |

One in her proximity managing, today famous artists, whom she observed with the mark often and alertly, just as miscellaneous art-courses have motivated her to it, itself, to develop her own, very lifelike style in the landscape - and nature-art.
Her family moved in Switzerland as she was a young girl. In her leisure time, she devoted herself to the art and the further education as well as the study the old Italian masters and the modern art.
Already with 22 years, her landscapes excited the interest of the present public at a showing of Italian artists living in the foreign countries.

Vanessa Garcia is a writer and visual artist working in various mediums. She writes for The Miami Herald, is a playwright and is currently working on a book of short stories and a new series of paintings, among other projects.
Garcia, an “American-born Cuban,†is currently living in her native Miami, after seven years of living and working in New York City. Her writing traverses the thematic scope of exile and Diaspora, as well music, art, urban development and the growth of the American city.
Similarly, her paintings, which meet somewhere between abstraction and figuration, are also about the place where past and present meet. Like the cities she has lived, worked, and traveled through, her visual art is both nostalgic and innovative. From portraits of Celia Cruz to paintings of mythical winged creatures and harlequins; from self portraits to photographs and mixed-media collage - the work exudes memory and desire, present and past, translating all of those layers into a visual language.

| Victor Agius, b. 1982, holds a Degree in Art from the University of Malta. He resides and works in Gozo, Malta. His work includes both sculpture and painting, and is keener on ceramic sculptures, abstracted landscapes and abstracts paintings. His personal exhibitions have recently been held in Baveno, Italy, in Florence, Italy and locally at the b’art Art Gallery in Sliema, Malta. Apart from his solo exhibitions, the artist has a number of art pieces forming part of prestigious permanent museums around the world. Amongst others a ceramic panel is permanently exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Santo Domingo, Domenican Republic and another of his art works is found at the Musee de Civilasations de l’Europe e de la Mediterranee in Marseilles, France. He also took part in international group shows which include one held in July 2007 at the Centre Culturel Christiane Peugeot, Paris, in France. He has also won international awards, the most recent being ‘Il Giglio di Firenze’ which was awarded to him for his fervent artistic vision, despite his young age. His works were also acquired for the Office of the Prime Minister in Malta, the Italian Embassy in Malta and form part of numerous private art collections worldwide.
Victor Agius is known for his use of colour and sturdy brush applications, which make both his sculptures and paintings immediately identifiable. His paintings have been said to ‘literally bristle with colour and give a sense for luminosity’. Art critics have referred to Victor Agius as ‘young and enterprising’, ‘talented and intrepid artist who is fired by an inner urge and the necessary enthusiasm to make a success story out of his works’, ‘though at the initial stages of his career, shows a good aptitude for painting and has a confident application of the brush’ and also as ‘one of the best prospects of emerging talents from Malta who at his young age has already made inroads into foreign institutions.’ Victor Agius exploits his work as a medium to incite a transmission of energy through which he seeks to compel the audience by his process of experimentation and self-discovery.

| My development as an
artist has taken many turns through out my life, from almost non existent to prolific; my connection with color, line and texture has been there.
At age 40 I began a serious quest to find my artistic "voice".
I read and I studied and I owe many thanks to many guides. I have now arrived at a place where I must join in with the choir and raise my own voice in celebration of ART.
My most recent works have been in the genre of "color fields and abstraction". The work is influenced by Rothko, Frankenthaller, O'Keefe and others.
I bring into my own; details of color, line and texture. I join the music with a underlying rhythm that whispers of an understanding of the spirit from an ancient past. |

| Abstract - Contemporary Artist
Nicola Parente creates expressive abstract paintings from his studio in Houston, Texas. Born in Italy, he draws from a rich Italian heritage and a deep well of cross-cultural experiences to bring his art to life. Working in a variety of media and formats, Parente engages the viewer in dialogues regarding the universal phenomenon of human encounter.
Parente’s new series, “The Edge of Urban Time”, examines our human encounters with the urban environment. Inspired by the re-gentrification of metropolitan communities, his art defines the intersection of daily urban life and the timeless multi-cultural celebration, with red as the symbolic color of the heartbeat and life of the city. His paintings capture the fluidity and static elements of the urban matrix, referencing the architectonic images, reflections, and rhythms of its landscape.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Eric Jackson passionately seeks to discover what is on the other side of every horizon. During long walks from the streets of Fort Lauderdale, FL. to the Atlantic Ocean, Eric is inspired by the beauty of the world around him. With a SLR camera as his tool, scenes of architecture, landscapes, and people are frozen in time.
Eric has always been interested in art. He would visit galleries to look at the amazing artists on exhibit. Hours on end, Eric would create original designs on his computer to help express his Christian faith. He also found himself in awe of sunrises and sunsets. Taking in the beauty of a different sunrise on every trip to the beach, Eric knew he wanted to share his feelings with the rest of the world. In his heart, he sees the work of the Lord on display. No human being can paint or digitally create the world’s beauty in this kind of reality. Eric decided to express himself and help other people recognize the artwork God creates through his photography, digital images, poetry, and short stories.
Since November 2001, Eric has steadily added to his collection of artwork. He began showing his digital images in local galleries and online websites. He enters competitions as well. Some of his poetry was published in “The Poetry Church,” based in the U.K. Five of his photographs have been sold online and a handful of Eric’s Christian t-shirt designs are currently being sold on Christianshirts.net.
At the beginning of 2009, Eric transferred from the Fort Lauderdale campus to The Art Institute of California – Orange County to complete his Associate’s Degree in Digital Photography. Attracted to the more scenic views of California, Eric wants to capture more landscape photography while mastering his gift in school. Learning the specific tools of the trade, he will become a better photographer.
After graduation, Eric plans to begin his career as a Visual Journalist. Traveling to different parts of the world, stories will be told through his photography. Also, he will continue working as a freelance digital artist, photographer, and writer. He prays his work has “substance” in it that others can learn from. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I am a designer, fine artist and I currently research the relations between art, sexuality and corporal expression. My works reflect my concern in helping fight any kind of social discrimination, especially sexual prejudices.
I believe that art is able to sensitize people's hearts for the futility of all forms of social discrimination. For that reason, I am dedicated particularly to produce and expose the best available representations of corporality and human sexuality.

| Nicola Carvell - Artist's Statement
Having emerged from a background in painting, my main concerns when making work are form, colour and the over-processing of these elements. I see my practice as having grown outward from the flat painterly surface into physical space to confront the viewer.
Being immersed in the current rock music and related alternative fashion scene in London, I absorb the aesthetic statements being circulated. I process much of this imagery digitally where colours and forms can be 'turned-up' to exist as concentrate-becoming plastic rather than illusory. From this I hope to create expanded paintings that can be considered visually and experienced physically.
Ultimately, I see my work as a forwarding of current youth culture. Whilst embracing its seductive enamel, I endeavor to simultaneously reveal it's dark underside through the process of mutation as neon colors, sprayed outlines and dynamic forms chemically interact upon the surface.
Biography
Nicola Carvell is a London-based artist whose work deals with youth culture and its fearless outlook toward the future. Emerging from a background in painting, Nicky moved onto develop a more sculptural outlook at Goldsmiths, culminating in 9ft high steel lightning bolts at her degree show in 2006. Now at the Royal Academy of Arts schools, her work sits between traditional disciplines, instigating bold and inventive forms through both digital and painterly means.
She has shown in various group shows around London and curated an exhibition of 20 young Artists entitled Powderlux in 2006, which was concerned with plasticity and the over-manipulation of colour and form, for which an electronic soundtrack was also produced.
Seeing music as the central stimulation to her practice, she has designed various album covers for independent artists, fabricated stage banners and photographed bands live. Her work has also been published in Super Super magazine. From this experience, she feels that the lines between art, design, music and fashion are becoming increasingly blurred and this cross-fertilization provides an exciting new approach to making art. Believing that “the private view night of a show is the only part worth going to,†her work embraces social interaction through means such as showing in unconventional spaces, as this breaks the ideal of the ‘white cube’. Rather than the viewer simply regarding the distanced art object, an immersive environment is invoked where a more direct response is encouraged.
