Untitled, From the series “Durero” by Ana Seggiaro is a unique take on multimedium artwork. The artist is interested in the relations between geographically distant cultures and, at the same time, stressing the temporal gap that separates them. Her work is based on the engravings of Alberto Dürer, Piranesi and Albinus. In the process of creating her meticulous pieces, the artist takes images that she is drawn to, investigates their history and answers the question “what would the artist say if she simply made it by chance?” The artist then photographs the work, digitally manipulates it to create the perfect canvas for the embroidery process, creating a new and exceptional piece.
Face Series 0118 by Rinaldi Syam is part of the artist’s face series that is arranged in colors in a geometric shape. The composition of the painting is made from cutting pieces from the artist’s previous works and rearranging them to create a semblance of a face. The piece itself is derived from various projects of the artist where the artist finds the repetition of shapes to form new visuals fascinating.
Universe of thickets by Henadzi Mironau is the largest painting by the artist for the “Mysterious thickets” series. The painting combines the many manifestations of vegetation. The painting shows the audience mysterious mosses and velvety grasses, long-fallen overgrown trees and lianas stretching to the sky. The painting borders on the artist’s imagination of a mystical forest and the real.
Oasis by Marek Boguszak is a breathtaking, surreal photograph of sand dunes. The artist’s background in mathematics and abstraction manifests into his love for creating artwork as pure forms expressing the core qualities of reality. The artist searches for the photographic where simple lines form a new image that stimulates emotions freed from the original recorded object.
The threaded lines in Shout 2 by Holly Miller suggest a physical barrier that interrupts the shapes and stops them from connecting while creating transparency that allows the viewer to enter through the lines onto the painted surface. The title of the paintings in the series are emotional, psychological and physical conditions where the artist explores color, shape, composition, form and texture to stimulate the eye and awaken the senses. The works in her series “Shout” and “Crash” reflect the frustration and anxiety in contemporary American society while also conveying being emotionally content and positive through the language of abstraction.
STAVES #2 by Kevin Jackson is a whimsical abstract painting of the 5-bar musical stave, the intersections making both the visual chord and melody. The painting is raising from the horizontal line, a rising in form from energy to order. Kevin Jackson is a British artist whose works have been exhibited internationally and created commissioned pieces for important institutions. This abstract piece makes a perfect addition to a music lover’s art collection.
Yappanoise 47 by Harald Kröner is part of an ongoing series of large works on paper. The name of the series is inspired by one of the numerous “monster-words” and neologisms invented by James Joyce in his novel “Finnegans Wake”. The book alludes to the essence of the artworks where: “Yappan” refers to the Japanese ink that was used; “Yap” refers to the sudden bursts of color marks spread over the white paper; “Noise” refers to the sonority of colors. The horizontal and vertical lines provide rhythm to the work, providing the piece with a musicality.
Bye Bye Tokyo by Carlos Canet shows the artist’s ability to break the limits of photography to create images that conceptualize abstraction and digital media as part of the natural landscape. The artist’s works invite the viewer to identify them with known climatic phenomena and landscapes such as the clear blue sky and a vapor trail introduced by a jet.
History by Zeljka Paic was inspired by the development of architecture and civilization. The artist used a reverse triangle and linear perspective. The colors in the painting are bold, royal colors that tantalizes your senses along with its geometric brilliance.
Galaxy Pink Red by Stanko Ropić is a painting fashioned from the playful handling of color. The artist is inspired by Rothko, Geiger and Pollock, influencing the finished artwork which dons these artists’ artistic elements. The painting is a painting of art history with its various layers of paint. The last layer of the painting used the “drip painting" technique which created an infinite galaxy on the canvas.
Windy Twilight by Luc Schol is part of the artist’s ongoing project entitled ‘Underneath the Giant’, an exploration of a habitable moon circling a gas giant a solar system outside of our own. This piece by Schol depicts the uneasy hours in between the light and the dark, the realm for our own introspection.
Solarwind by Vince Smith is a visual experience as the work is viewed from one end to the other. The undulations in the depth of the shapely strips and gradients in color on top of shades of grey on the sides make for a unique graphic illusion. The backing of blue in between the strips moves in shade from light to dark. The expanding circular arcs cut into the piece at three stages represent the movement of the Solarwind, along with the warm tones of one end to the cooling at the other.
It’s You by Young Shin is a profound, contemplative, meditative and evocative painting. The painting and its heavy textures created by “grid-like” patterns and lines reveal a sense of decorum and order, juxtaposed with loosely and freely drawn large geometric shapes which give the impression of freedom and ephemerality. The artist’s paintings have an archaeological quality as viewers can viscerally sense and see different levels and layers of paper that have been manipulated over the course of the artistic process.
