Gregg Chadwick

L'artista di Santa Monica Gregg Chadwick dipinge da tre decenni.

L'attuale studio di Chadwick si trova in un vecchio hangar per aeroplani dove la raffica di decolli e atterraggi sulla pista esterna sembra insinuarsi nei suoi dipinti mentre esplora il movimento e viaggia all'interno delle sue opere d'arte piene di luce.

Una delle sue attuali serie di dipinti intitolata Mystery Train evoca le ferrovie d'America.

Octavian Florescu (Romanian, 1957)

Octavian Florescu was born in the Southern Romanian town of Craiova. In 1978 he interrupted his university studies in engineering to become a full-time artist painter.

For five years he studied church painting and restoration which gave him the opportunity to learn and master all painting techniques from the ancient fresco to the contemporary oil and acrylic.

The influence of the Byzantine style is noticeable in all his work.

In 1989, while in Hungary, he completely dedicated himself to surrealism that allows him to best express his ideas.

Over the past 21 years his paintings have been seen in Austria, Canada, France, Hungary, Mexico, Romania and the USA.

John Singer Sargent | Fishing for Oysters at Cancale, 1878

In 1877 the twenty-one year old Sargent spent the summer in Cancale on the coast of Brittany sketching fisherfolk.

He sent his first completed painting, "Fishing for Oysters at Cancale", a finished sketch, to New York for display at the newly-formed, avant garde Society of American Artists from March 6 to April 5, 1878.

Sargent submitted the second painting, "Oyster Gatherers of Cancale" (Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), a larger, more finished version of the same subject, to the 1878 Paris Salon, where it was awarded an Honorable Mention.

Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000)

Jacob Lawrence è stato un pittore Statunitense.

È noto per aver ritratto soggetti storici afroamericani e la vita contemporanea. Lawrence si riferiva al suo stile come "cubismo dinamico", anche se, secondo la sua stessa ammissione, l'influenza principale non era tanto l'arte francese quanto le forme e i colori di Harlem, il quartiere di New York a forte presenza nera.

Portò alla vita l'esperienza afroamericana utilizzando neri e marroni giustapposti a colori vivaci.

Linda Leucareth | Infrared photographer

I am an amateur photographer from Cornwall England. I enjoy all sorts of Landscape and wildlife photography as well as experimenting with Infrared and HDR. I also dabble at painting in acrylics and finger painting on the i-pad.

Danielle Duer (American, 1977)

Danielle Duer is a professional artist living and working from her studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Her unusual pieces have been described as haunting and romantic.

She uses bold, beautiful color combinations and layers the main images with dainty details so that the viewer can stare for hours and always see something new.

These narrative paintings are quite feminine and successfully possess both realistic and fanciful charm. She includes symbolism to tell lighthearted stories that are metaphors for deeper truths and philosophies in her own life.
