The bold contrasts and the enigmatic symbolism in Jeong-Ah Zhang's artwork invite viewers into a realm of speculative interpretation, making a profound impact on the observer's psyche. Zhang's ability to convey complex, abstract ideas through tangible imagery sets her apart as a visionary in contemporary art.
Wendy creates paintings that integrate shapes, lines, and colors, juxtaposed with collage elements into cohesive compositions that transform static spaces into vibrant synchronized visual tapestries of contrasting hues. Flowing ideas are manifested that draw the viewer's attention to the brushstrokes, mark-making, and materiality on the surface of each painting that invites the viewer to experience the spontaneous playful chemistry and resonance of her works.
Jean Cherouny paints with her rollerblades to create original, layered, texture paintings with spiraling forms that express her kinetic nature with paint. While earning her Art Education degree she discovered this technique to utilize her athleticism, from a competitive skiing career, to allow her feet to express the energy she experiences through eye, mind and body.
My drawings, paintings, digital and video artwork delve into the depths of human emotions in surrealistic environments that unveil the instincts that reside within our collective psyche. This environment is a response to the societal norms surrounding personal stories that push the boundaries of conventional aesthetics of privacy, personal comfort and belonging.
My work offers formal and textural qualities that both confound and intrigue, inviting the viewer to upend assumptions, to step closer, and to consider the renderings in new ways. I challenge the conventions of art making in two-dimensional works that appear sculptural, and with hand-rendered forms that may be initially mistaken for photographs or digital manipulation.
My work is influenced by nature and the emotions associated with the land’s natural beauty, family, events, and spiritual emphasis; it’s often a combination of these. Although my work has significant meaning for me, I want the viewer to connect emotionally and interpret according to their voice and vision.
My aim is to create artworks that make the viewer think. My lyrical abstract paintings lead them into visual worlds where there is something to explore, something to resonate with. The multiple possibilities of interpreting visual reality give the viewer a sense of freedom and invite them to engage in a kind of intellectual play or experience.
The choice of materials in Caroline’s oeuvre is as eclectic as the symbols she employs. From natural resin to clay, flax to artificial resin, wool to lead, plaster to glass, and bronze to stone — her palette encompasses a diverse array. The seemingly incompatible nature of these materials captivates the viewer. Their contrasting properties create a visual tension that resonates in the overall ambiance of her work.
Dunham is a process-based artist creating 3-dimensional material studies/sketches primarily composed of basic geometric shapes and lines through accumulation. Each study is assigned a numerical title that documents the process and materials used. Her hope is to challenge viewers to pause and appreciate the transformative powers of the creative process and to call attention to the essentially ordinary origins of even the most extraordinary works of art.
I find the greatest joy in using my skills to visualize the thoughts and emotions of others. Everything that could be called my artistic identity has been nurtured through communication with society via my work. I interpret and reconstruct the concepts behind products and narratives through my own perspective, transforming them into visual expressions.
I find inspiration everywhere. In recent years, however, I have been working with space research and science fiction. But nature, micro/macro also still has a big place in my world.
After several years of exploring various themes, mainly landscapes, it was exciting to begin a new series of exploring flora, involving new colours and abstraction. The recent Paisley series with its flowing organic imagery developed naturally from the floral series and the latest “Hot Flotsam”, a large work reflects an increasing emphasis on abstraction and an acknowledgement of global warming and pollution.
Creativity is the desire to express ourselves. To formulate these expressions, we have to draw from our reservoir of experience, dreams, desires and experimentation and mix together what was, what is, and what could be… I don’t think you can learn it, it is rather something that evolves. Your perception of everything in your life fills up this reservoir.
My specificity as a sculptor lies in my main tool: the manual plasma cutter. Well-known in the industrial world, it is much rarer in the artistic realm. With it, I cut through thick steel plates, transforming fragments of this heavy material into delicate lace.
Symona Colina born in Ridderkerk the Netherlands in 1954. Participated in a number of exhibitions in several countries; the Netherlands, the United States, Italy, Spain, Belgium, England, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, My work is like the wind, perceiving perspective. A perspective which touches and surrounds me, and in its essence forms the source of my work and sparkles in endless interfaces.
Making a picture for me is not about trying to construct a pleasing image but about trying to communicate the emotional I felt when I encountered what I have sometimes called charismatic moments, when I see people or animals or a landscape that feels charged. Memory is a necessary way to recover that, a filter to remove anything that is superfluous to expressing that emotion.
After a literature diploma I worked a long time ago in events for an people experience. After that I decided to become self employed in sale decorative objects. But the passion of art was stronger. This year I participate to any blogs and magazines and set up my e-shop accessories.
Through painting, I channel emotion into color, allowing each brushstroke to raise my mood and create a more hopeful perspective. I hope my audience walk away with smiles on their faces, recognizing that there is beauty and joy even in darkness.
Vasile Stefanoiu, a Romanian sculptor, believes art must convey a message and sees sculpture as a restorative force. He creates sustainable circular art using recycled and reused resources. In some of his sculptures, he brings back legends from Greek mythology and places them in different contexts, to create a new way of seeing in modern times.
I am interested in the amalgamation of abstraction and representation of plant inspired subjects within imagined habitats as liminal spaces. My paintings extend organic shapes within abstracted spaces and imagined landscapes that play with depth, lines, and layers. Organic material analysis and interpretation became part of my exploration process.
