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.

BIOGRAPHY:

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 &ldquo;iridescent&rdquo; 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 &quot;Love&quot; 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.

Hildegarde Handsaeme

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) .

BIOGRAPHY:

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

myartspace id:krzysiek

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 is a marble sculpture titled Victoria Victoria (1983) which 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 &amp; 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 Kie&#x15b;lowski. 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 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 1945-2000, Chicago Cultural Centre, Chicago (2001) and Targetti Art Light Collection, Chelsea Art Museum, New York (2003); Me-Baccus, Galeria Grodzka, Lublin 2003; Ge Hinnom, Galeria Foksal, Warsaw 2004; Bycicles Thieves, Galeria Szyd&#x142;owski, Warsaw 2004; Grass, Just Grass, Polish Institute, Rome 2004 and Segheria Carlo Telara, Carrara 2004. Recent achievements in the artistic biography of K. M. Bednarski include the Katarzyna Kobro Award in 2004, the exhibition The Underground Ascension (dedicated to Tymoteusz Karpowicz) at the Cysterna Gallery in the Zamek Ujazdowski Contemporary Art Centre in Warsaw in 2006, the installation &ldquo;The Shadow Line- A Confession&rdquo; at the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw in 2007 and &bdquo;Vision and Prayer&rdquo; After Dylan Thomas (1989-2007) at the Gallery Muzalewska in Poznan in 2008, the collective exhibition &ldquo;Giallo di Napoli&rdquo; where he presented his latest video performance &ldquo;Neapolitan Soles&rdquo; and the Lodz exhibition.&rdquo;Towards the Mountain &ndash; Hommage to J. Grotowski&rdquo; at the Atlas Sztuki Gallery in 2009. His works are in many public and private collections like the Art/Omi Foundation in New York; the Zamek Ujazdowski Contemporary Art Centre in Warsaw; the Giorgio Franchetti Foundation in Rome; the Morra Foundation in Neaples; the Foksal Gallery in Warsaw; the Museum of Fine Arts Academy in Warsaw; the National Museums of Cracow, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Szczecin; the Targetti Light Art Collection in Florence; the Zacheta National Art Gallery in Warsaw among many

Craig Cooper

myartspace id:craigcooper

BIOGRAPHY:

Craig Cooper The line between art and life: Cooper&rsquo;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&rsquo;s interventions embedded with political narrative challenge our expectations of form, order and normality, offering a way of seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. November 2007

myartspace id:sketchychris1

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.

Sean O'Neil

myartspace id:soneilcreative

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:

Life has been and continues to be one great big journey. 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 &quot;should I&quot; or &quot; I need to do this&quot; 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. I have found that I need peace and quiet to produce my work. 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 I am at the point where I feel like I am literally the tool in raising awareness and levels of consciousness . It is more like I am channeling ideas instinctively and intuitively by producing colour with a subtle mark or gesture.

I was not into art growing up, I would just draw during school to get through the day. I started to have problems with social anxiety during highschool which resulted in me dropping out when I was 16. My anxiety went untreated causing me to become house bound for 3 years. But it was during those 3 years that art entered my life. I am self taught and like to experiment with different materials. My favorite painters are Remedios Varo and Francis Bacon. I don't know what 99% of paintings are about to be honest. I'm inspired by.....many things....sometimes it's boredom, sometimes it's love, sometimes it's music or nothing at all..

BIOGRAPHY:

Laura Fiume's education took place in Milan at the Liceo Artistico and at the Polytechnic School of Design. In 1976 she moved to Canzo, near Como where she learned serigraphy, ceramics, and painting from the well known artist, Salvatore Fiume, her father. Starting from 1983 Laura Fiume's ceramic production was oriented first to the creation of numbered objects and later also to that of objects for home daily use. Her ceramic works were first exhibited at the Work's II Gallery in Southampton, N.Y., an art gallery with which Laura collaborated until 1988 by exhibiting many of her paintings. Between 1990 and 1992 her pictorial and graphic production was almost totally absorbed by the Japanese market. The 1990 exhibition at the Artesanterasmo Gallery of Milan on the theme of 'Mirrors' was the only one where she exhibited her paintings with her father. Her collaboration with that gallery has been steady since 1988. In 1992, following a suggestion from well known architect Pepe Tanzi, Laura collaborated to the launch of the Pozzi & Verga new collection of tables and chairs by including images of such pieces of furniture in her own paintings. In 1995 she was chosen as designer of the year by Meyer Mayor, the distinguished Swiss company specialising in kitchen and table linen production. Between 1992 and 2000 she had her own show-room in Milan where her collections of ceramics and her creations for leading companies like Ricchetti (tiles), Fedecheti (home fabrics), Edilkamin (fireplaces and stoves), Kaigai (textiles for clothings and bathroom towels), Rosenthal (china), and Proserpio arredamenti (furnishings and frabrics) were on display. In 2000 Laura designed a collection of coffee cups called 'The Jungle Collection' for Cellini Deutschland gmbh and in 1999 she increased her show-room space by creating 'Atelier Produzioni d'arte' where prints, ceramics, and sculptures from european and american artists were presented. In 2000 Laura began her collaboration with Raika of Japan designing their fashion collections which have been on dispaly since 2002 in the 'Show-room Laura Fiume' at the Mitsokushi department store in Tokyo. In april 2003, as part of the events that took place during the 'Salone del Mobile' of Milan, Laura held a large exhibition at the Spazio Exté¨ entitled 'Other Rooms: a tribute to Philippe Starck'. on that occasion Laura enjoyed the collaboration of Alessi, Driade, and Flos who kindly lent her, for display in the exhibition, the pieces from their Philippe Starck production represented in her paintings. In june 2003 Laura held a one-artist exhibition at the Svetog Krsevana Gallery in Sibenik, Croatia as part of the International Children's Festival of that town. In 2005 Laura became responsible for the restyling of the L'Arenella Hotel on the Giglio Island, Tuscany, and in the summer of the same year she held a retrospective at the Vartai Gallery in Vilnius, Lithuania. in 2005 she also presented an installation within the project 'Ten arm-chairs for ten artists', an initiative by Molteni & c, a leading company in the furniture field, where Laura was asked to decorate a Molteni arm-chair from the 'Reversi' collection and to carry out a number of paintings using the same fabrics covering their couches and arm-chairs. In 2007 she has exhibited in Rome, first at the Margutta 3 Gallery, then at TAD's show-room in Via del Babbuino. The two exhibitions were strictly linked by the idea of exhibiting works matching TAD's furniture pieces. In 2007 Laura was also invited to take part in the Milano's 'Cow Parade', the well-known open air exhibition held in over 40 cities the world over. Laura's 'Fish-cow' was sponsored by leading bed Italian makers Flou. Her works are permanently on display at the Artesanterasmo Gallery of Milan, Via Cusani, 8. Since 1996 Laura has collaborated with San Paolo publishers of Milan with illustrations for some of their books and for G-baby magazine.

Linda Saccoccio

myartspace id:lsaccoccio8

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in Providence, RI, USA, Linda's life and work focus on liberation through direct experience. Linda's formal education exposed her to historical and contemporary art. Her yogic trainings and practices ground her in an unlimited resource of creativity in the flow of grace. The core of her creative expression exists beyond traditional categories. It comes from all, as well as from within and is ignited by her heightened sense of perception. In practicing awareness, every moment reveals a wealth of original inspiration. After residing in NYC for many years, immersed in the cultural diversity there, Linda relocated to California. She lives in awe of the beauty of mountains, ocean, flora and fauna that is ever present. Every aspect of her life informs her paintings, from chanting to writing, from hiking to meditating. Linda's reverence for life on this planet gives rise to her profound calling to respond by engaging in visual creativity. Her paintings have both an orderly and random quality. They are a dialogue conveyed through a language of gestures. They echo relationship in and out of space and time. There is a raw aspect as well as a refined elegance in her work. Linda's intuitive approach allows her to begin each work with spontaneity and freedom. She revels in the abandon of creating this way, with a flash of expression caught in a moment much like a dancer's movements that are vitally unique and without recall. She teases harmony out of chaos, sometimes suggesting a balanced tension in her work. With elements such as longing, surrender, color and line, her works exhibit an authenticity that can touch and heal.
