“By using hands on processes of coiling, fraying, twisting, wrapping, gluing and knotting, I transform common screening, wire, silicone, monofilament and glass frit into “other worldly” constructions. My aim is to bring the natural/artificial and man/nature together into an assemblage of forms that appear to have “grown into being”. The work is shaped by my fears, quirks and joys and ultimately celebrates the mystery and wonder of it all”.

 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Judd Boloker was born in Smithtown, New York in 1969. He first received art training at the age of ten in the basement of Naomi Shedrofsky, a Long Island artist responsible for starting the art careers of many area children. This training was further supplemented with illustration courses at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The study of Japanese history has brought Eastern influences to his work, while time spent living on both the East and West Coast has exposed him to a wide variety of American culture, landscape, and design elements. His work challenges the passive botanical still life, presenting organic elements influenced by an increasingly hostile climate. Seemingly incongruous subjects are combined (ie: the Arizona desert cactus and Hawaiian tropical textile), further defying the traditional presentation of our environment. Flowers abandon the safety of the vase, bursting off the page like fireworks. Passive reflection is replaced by a more aggressive interaction. His drawings reinterpret the natural world of the 21st century, an era of global warming and environmental trauma. He attempts to portray the continued beauty of the organic with an eye towards the conflict it now faces. The work is created using heavily applied colored pencil on large pieces of Bristol board. Given the detail involved, each drawing takes approximately six to eight weeks to complete. For more information and images, please visit www.Boloker.com |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I have always been an artist as far back as I can recall. I am a painter of humor and a light cynic maybe even a bit of fun thrown in. I show my art in several galleries and exhibit regularly.
I am an artist at age six. I began making clay sculptures and charcoal drawings along with my cartoon drawings to entertain my five other brothers and sister. Later, I switched from an Electrical Engineer to an Art Major because this is what I loved first. I still toy around in the sciences and it has helped my art immensely.
I paint in acrylics and sculpt in steel and brass making mobiles and stabile sculpture. Alexander Calder, Paul Klee and Philip Guston among others have influenced my art. I still lean to the cartoon style but wrap it in a painterly style that is form and shadow and color values. I enjoy letting go and fleshing out my drawings which fill my studio. Lately, I have begun printmaking working in serigraph, block and collagraph techniques. Digital work also interests me as I taught this as an art teacher. I show in several galleries and have recieved generous comments about the diversity and uniqueness of my style and subject matter. -Charlie Spear |

| PERSONAL STATEMENT
The simple philosophy that guides me in life is to maintain my curiosity and awaken it in others.
I have been travelling and living in the Asia/Pacific region since completing my Arts education and teaching qualifications at Kean University in the U.S.A. in 1972.
Formally, my involvement in the Arts has extended to positions in teaching, lecturing, tutoring, curriculum consulting, arts administration, co-editing an education journal, collecting tribal artefacts, curatorial research, and directing government and private art galleries.
My practice of art has encompassed jewellery/silver-smithing, photography, filmmaking, large-scale mixed-media installations, earthworks, Asian kite making, painting/printmaking, writing, illustration, computer graphics and programming and sculpture in various mediums and forms.
I’ve always maintained a belief in the importance of the integration of institutional education with practical workplace experience. As such, I have pursued a balance between my undertakings as an educator, an administrator, and a practising artist. I’ve always endeavoured to see life as an experience to be undertaken with energy and a sense of adventure. This is why I’ve chosen a lifestyle that allows me to interact flexibly within a variety of cultural and social settings. By nature, I’m a problem-solver who relishes meaningful challenges and strives for comprehensive and relevant solutions.
In all that I do I tend to view life as a continually unfolding journey of discovery and achievement.
ARTIST’S RATIONALE
Sculpture
A majority of sculptural work since 1993 is fabricated from galvanised wire mesh fabric. The transparency of material and openness of construction are intended to imply gossamer shells that subtly dissolve into - rather than dominate - the surrounding space.
The armatures whisper their existence.
This technique allows the work to occupy either interior or exterior spaces without massive intrusion. Originally, inspired by the delicacy of spiders’ webs, the works were meant to almost disappear from view from certain angles or in soft lighting conditions, but take on a more dramatic presence as the viewer’s vantage point or light intensity were modified.
Whilst some site-specific pieces have their sense of volume increased by either adding partial outer casings of opaque fibreglass or infusing the cavities with a range of materials, generally the work is meant to remain as transparent as possible. Of additional interest is the optical effect that creates a sense of the work being vertically inverted when lit in a very specific manner.

Artist statement
I was born in the D.C. suburbs in 1966, misspent my early adulthood in the South and headed West in 2000. Moving to Tucson was the best thing I ever did. This is where painting got serious for me. I started experimenting with my work. It's where I began to ask myself: WHY? "Who am I and why am I painting?".
I still support myself with my gardening business, but my goal everyday is toward creating inspiring works of art and of being a respected, prolific, and well paid artist. I'm currently working with oils and trying to understand composition.
Thanks for looking,
Sylvia

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Andrea Milia begins his formation very young, in the ‘80, as artisan in the picture frame shop of his father: Giorgio Milia, a well know painter of Trieste. Together with his mother, attending prestigious artisan shops and artists workers of ebany, Andrea learns how to work the wood and begins the restoration of ancient items and furniture and becomes very keen on the art of the handmade. Today “La Cornice†is the shop of Andrea. It is where, just between design and handicraft, he creates, restores, and with technique and passion devotes himself entirely to the artistic work of the wood and not only.
Inside his artisan shop, Andrea Milia finds the right dimension for his creativity, creating besides the picture frames also mirrors, lamps, pictures and arts articles. In facts he adds to the work of the wood and to the restore of ancient furniture, the impulsive tension towards the testing of always new and different techniques. He loves to add the wood to his creations, but he also loves to work alternative materials, adorning the items with alien flows of sand and glue, with decorations in golden leaves, with drops and clypeus in chalk, with metal studs. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I am a full-time professional fine artist. I received my BFA in painting, with a concentration in drawing and sculpture, from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2006.
Next year, I will begin working toward my MFA in painting so I can teach art. I'm also interested in opening my own art gallery, featuring my work as well as other local artists, after receiving my MFA.
My work has been featured in exhibitions throughout the United States. I frequently exhibit my work in regional and national juried shows. My paintings are held in many public and private collections in the United States, Canada, England, Holland, and Spain.
I work in a wide range of media from oil paintings to charcoal drawings to murals to sculpture. Selling on the internet has allowed my art work to be viewed by a much broader audience than just showing in galleries alone. I love that I am able to communicate, network, and sell to art buyers (and other artists) all over the world.
I currently work out of my art studio located in East Saint Paul, Minnesota. Commissions are always welcome. |

He made metal sculpture, later, he defined his own style taking motives from the Venezuelan escapes, which he portraits through oil paintings, water-color and combined techniques, therefore interpreting it´s high chromaticism; following his work we can observe a natural impressionist scenery with clear expressionist accents, in which he assumes a particular monochromatic to elevate it´s essence.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Some of my 'Night in the City' series will be seen March 13 - April 5, 2008 at the Wook & Lattuada Gallery, 50 W. 36th Street, NYC, opening reception Thursday, March 13, 6 - 8 PM.
The Western Walkabout Series is a collaboration between myself and my son, Andrew Yonda (photographer/musician), and it depicts straightforward, real-time photos of the Painted People (former Barbies and Kens) in their first Vision Quest, a trip from the mountains (Colorado) to the sea (California). Choreographed by myself, photographed by Andrew, this trip mirrored one I took in a painted VW microbus in 1969. The People in these photos are Red, Ayla, Mr. Blue, Crystal, Rocco and the Horse with No Name.
In the Sky People and Night in the City series, the People enter a new world via the magic carpet of Photoshop. The imagery is layered with my photos of nature, the city, the People and my paintings and drawings. The clan now has three babies and many more animals including Ella (elephant), Ursula (turtle) and Baba-Ram.
Called “iridescent” by Dan Bischoff in his review in the New Jersey Star Ledger, they are a kind of Paleo-Postmodern migratory clan, trekking across the face of an earth that reacts to their presence by becoming more alive, more beautiful, more revelatory of its underlying forces. Cities turn into strange night places where streets become fluid streams, skies morph into oceans and webs of life, buildings both harbor and dissolve into fantastic life-forms. The Painted People traverse a world that has been altered to reflect a world of premonition, environmental change (apocalypse?) and natural magic.
The Colassa Series depicts self-portraits of a world inhabited by the female version of the Colossus.
I grew up by the pristine shores of Lake Superior, in Duluth, Minnesota and lived in the western suburbs of Minneapolis in my teen years. In the late 60's I spent some time in San Francisco in the waning days of the "Love" era, moved to a rural commune in West Central Wisconsin in the 70's and was a dairy farmer for ten years. I went back to school in the 80's, got my art degree at the University of Wisconsin/Stout, moved to New York City, graduated from Pratt Institute with my MFA, and am now an artist and writer.
My husband, Frank Lind, is also an artist. My two sons live in Madison, Wisconsin. Aaron Yonda is one-half of Blame Society Productions which produces the award-winning Chad Vader series; Andrew Yonda is one-half of the indie music group, the Buffali. |

|
 |
| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Born in Kortrijk Hildegarde resides and works in Terlanen (S.E. of Brussels) . With an articulate preference for the figure and the nature of woman she went the self-teaching way in the plastic art form . The sensitive approach of this theme remains her source of inspiration which is utterly inexhaustible . The recognition of her artistic plastic language was a fact a couple of years ago when she obtained the third international prize for painting in Libramont .
THE WORK
Hildegarde Handsaeme paints mainly women and follows a harmonic and constructively perfect pattern . The figure in itself is dominating but she knows how to put it the right surroundings where nature and cosmos play a symbolic part . With a set of straight lines she builds a mysterial haze of inner feelings on the canvas in a simple but penetrative way . She does not call for hallucinating images bet lets herself go with sensitivity guided by an unfailing intuition . Even when the figures at first sight seem distant they point to a certain duality and yet her usage of colours express a honest alliance between the data and the deeper thoughts .
Simply and honestly Hildegarde gives us the message of love and tenderness which should be shown to each individual . In a pictural equilibrated and harmonic way she knows how to remind us of the glamorous intuition of woman . (F. De B. 1997)
THE REVIEWS
Hildegarde's work presents such an original form and content that it is difficult to classify her in a painting school or to compare her to an eventual equal painter . Only gifted artists succeed to be independent from the start and grow gradually to a recognisable style . This is utterly rare . As a red thread Hildegarde's personality runs through her works which show us a very characteristic world . She seems to know always what she does and why and she leaves nothing to fate . her work is as she meant it and what she means she gets by her own way from background into focus so one can say without looking at her signature that her personality is clearly there . Her work is very personal and shows that art in se has no boundaries, is not subject to strict laws, is unseizable and difficult to put into words (E.BOON) .

| I've collected art since my teen years with an attraction towards oils. I began painting in 1986 in oils and was pleased that I had a talent for it. I'm primarily self taught but took classes and workshops in technique in NY.
My style is very realistic with an emphasis on lights and shadows. I enjoy landscapes that feature some type of architecture in the scene. After 25 years in law enforcement, I enjoy painting beautiful, relaxing scenes.
I presently split my time between Staten Island, NY and Miami Lakes, Fl. |

| Krzysztof Bednarski |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Sculptor, action artist, creator of installations and objects, poster designer. Born on July 25, 1953, in Cracow. Lives in Rome.
He studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw between 1973 and 1978. While still a student he began to work with Jerzy Grotowski. By 1975 he was participating in the post-theatrical projects of Grotowski’s Teatr Laboratorium, creating a series of posters for productions like Vigil (1976-1977), Project Mountain (1977), Project Earth (1977-1979), Human Tree (1979), and others.
In 1978 Bednarski completed his diplome work titled Total Portrait of Karl Marx. Created under the direction of Professor Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz, the work consisted of multiple cast heads of Communism’s chief ideologue. The piece mocked a figure that was surrounded by an official cult and proved one of the most significant works of the political contestation movement that preceded the social upheavals of August 1980.
Between 1978 and 1986 the artist participated in numerous sculptural symposiums in the country and abroad, among others attending those in Carrara (1982 and 1985). During these he created works in traditional materials (marble, bronze). Legible, identifiable metaphors, these often drew on the motif of an exaggeratedly large hand. The best known of these – a marble sculpture titled Victoria Victoria (1983) – was viewed as the visual equivalent of the social mood that reigned in Poland during Martial Law.
In 1984 Bednarski began spending more time in Rome, a city that was home to his future wife – theatre scholar, philologist and journalist Marina Fabbri. In the spring of 1986 he traveled to equatorial Africa, a very significant voyage to his personal spiritual development. A new period in the artist’s work began with Moby Dick (1987), made of the hull of a yacht that Bednarski happened on one day and that seemed to him to be an answer to his search through both its form and the metaphorical meaning inherent in it. The shape of a boat hull would now appear in many works: combined with the motif of an African mask in a series of small sculptures titled Moby Dick – Mask (1989) or as the skeleton of a colossal structure in the installation Unsichtbar (1993), a piece inspired by the poetry of R. M. Rilke. Simultaneously, the artist reverted to the motif of the head of Marx, which became the building block for a number of new works, including La Rivoluzione siamo Noi (1989), The Collected Works of Karl Marx (1988), The Xram Lrak Burial Mound (1988), Finite Column (1991), and others.
In the late 1980s the artist began to create expansive installations which conveyed their meaning through abstract visual modules, both solid and openwork pyramids, spatial stars constructed of them (sometimes lit with red and blue light), and series of identically sized metal tables. Bednarski further enriched his formal language in a series titled Vision & Prayer (from1998). Based on the visual poetry of Dylan Thomas, the pieces in this series were produced using a variety of techniques (sculpture, relief, drawing). In yet another return to earlier solutions (something that became a hallmark of his work), the artist inscribed important meanings into humble materials (Polish Thanatos dating from 1984, dedicated to deceased friends from the theatre of Grotowski) and into such ephemeral matter as light and shadow. In Memory of Jan Szeliga (1980) is one work that consists specifically of the shadow cast by a shaped object. Similarly, a cast shadow is the essential element in Bednarski’s design for a monument to Federico Fellini that will be erected in Rimini (designed in 1994, under construction). In 1997 Bednarski produced the tomb of famed filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski. In 1995 he’s been artist in residence at Omi Foundation (N.Y.). During the 1996/97 academic year, Bednarski was a guest teacher in the studio of professor Grzegorz Kowalski in the Sculpture Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1999 Warsaw’s Centre for Contemporary Art at Ujazdowski Castle mounted a solo exhibition of Bednarski’s works titled Scarpe italiane - Italian Shoes, conceived as an original installation composed of the artist’s earlier works accompanied by a self-mocking video performance of the same title.
In 1998-99 he’s artist in residence at the Art Foundation by Daniel Spoerri “The Garden†in Tuscany (Italy), while in 2002 and 2003 he’s part of the European project “Global Village Garden†(Germany) and receive a grant from Leube Fondation in Salsburg (Austria). Among the many exhibitions of the recent years in Poland and abroad there are: “In Between: Art From Poland 1945-2000â€ÂÂÂ, Chicago Cultural Centre, Chicago (2001) and „Targetti Art Light Collectionâ€ÂÂÂ, Chelsea Art Museum, New York (2003); Me-Baccus, Galeria Grodzka, Lublin 2003; Ge’ Hinnom, Galeria Foksal, Warsaw 2004; Bycicles’ Thieves, Galeria Szydłowski, Warsaw 2004; Grass, Just Grass, Polish Institute, Rome 2004 and Segheria Carlo Telara, Carrara 2004.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| Craig Cooper
The line between art and life: Cooper’s work endeavors to move like the city it inhabits, constantly shifting, fluid and flexible in both materiality and concept. It is an interest in the random encounter and the unexpected experience of encounters that offer a point of departure for this practice. The crux of this exercise lies in the street and its relation to art and aesthetics and how experience can be replicated through representational modes. Using the City as context Cooper tests the elasticity of his practice by thrusting himself into new environments in order to reorganize his repertoire for experience and push his work into new physical and conceptual space.
The results are often underplayed, made with an economy and elegance. The work becomes most referential in its formalities. The performative aspect of this practice shares an affinity with the Flaneur; both wandering and loitering (physically and digitally) offer a way to explore how ideas can be extracted from the everyday.
Photography, Installation and Drawing are the tools that Cooper uses to intervene with his environment. Cooper’s interventions embedded with political narrative challenge our expectations of form, order and normality, offering a way of seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary.

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| From a young age I always had some sort of drawing medium in my hand. It wasn't too far from age of 7 when I started doing comics ,and to the dismay of my teachers, doodling on the school desks.
I have always been fascinated by the power of story telling( especially mediums which are accompanied with music) and at least, in my opinion, there is no better way than to use the pen and paper to get a message across. In the drawn line or stroke there is a certain level of creative individuality and sophistication that sometimes surpasses that of digital or 3D works. Even though I have been following the appropriate programmes of digital and print enhancements, I still feel the importance lies within the hand and paper itself.
I wish to help clients get their ideas across through all the skills that i have attained. I would achieve this by transferring their own scripts or ideas down on paper in accordance with their minds eye. I could also even suggest my own take on how their company can tell a story. These methods are done by storyboarding, illustration, graffiti, design concepts,comic strips, conceptual drawing and 2d animation.
My overall goal is to be trusted by clients as the person who is able to bring something different and fresh to individuals or companies. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| I approach painting in a similar fashion to the sampling of music. I reappropriate pieces of images to form a new image within a new context. I choose random images, always without narrative or artistic device of any kind, often amateur photos or photos from instructional manuals. I layer these reproduced images mostly in a monochromatic presentation to reflect memory or storytelling, as a recollection without crispness or complete definition. All of my paintings represent a specific event or series of events from my own life or stories passed on from others. |

| BIOGRAPHY: |
| One of five siblings. A Japanese mother and American father. My mother's family is in Tokyo and Yokohama. I was living in London, England for 3 years. I am currently back in the States living and working.
Life has been one great big journey and continues to be. Creativity keeps me a constant student and brings me great joy. After the conditioning corporate world in the United States I have been getting over the should I or I need to do this moments of my life. I am now into enjoying life, following my true path and living with purpose.
I am looking forward to finally balancing my art work and home. Art is a form of communication and expression that I look forward to working with every day.
About the work:
My painting process continues to work with the surface using many layers to create an organic picture while symbolically representing the integration of personality and soul.
The abstract frees me emotionally and physically from traditional learning and thinking. Often I use different tools when painting alternating between sculptural tools and paint brushes sometimes even using my own fingers.
Now am I at the point where I feel like I am just the tool. It is more like I am channeling ideas instinctively and intuitively by producing colour with a subtle mark or gesture. |
