Desmond O’Hagan biography

O’Hagan was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, and was raised in the United States. He enjoys working in several media, but his primary focus is oils and pastels. Constantly challenging himself has translated into a fulfilling career in fine art encompassing several one-man shows and participation in group exhibitions in the United States, Japan, China, Canada, and France. O’Hagan has achieved “Eminent Pastelist” status with the International Association of Pastel Societies and is a member of their “Masters Circle.” He is also a Master Pastelist with the Pastel Society of America and is listed in Who’s Who in American Art. O’Hagan has won several awards in national and international exhibits including IAPS convention exhibit’s Prix’d Pastel Award and “Southwest Art” magazine’s Award of Excellence (twice) at the “Windows to the Divine” Exhibitions in Denver, CO. He has also won the George Innes, Jr. Memorial Award from the Salmagundi Club in New York City. O’Hagan was invited to exhibit and conduct workshops and seminars at the 2nd Biennial China International Pastel Exhibition in Suzhou, China in 2016. In December of 2016, F&W Media released four new instructional DVD’s by O‘Hagan: two instructing in oil painting, and two instructing in pastel painting. In 2018, four additional instructional videos were released titled Decoding Degas. In these videos, O’Hagan explores the centuries-old practice of copying a master artist from history. His paintings have been the subject of feature articles in numerous national and international magazines including American Art Collector, Southwest Art, The Artist Magazine, International Artist, American Artist, United Airlines’ Hemispheres magazine, Artists and Illustrators (England), International Artist (Australia), and Gekkan Bijyutsu (Japan). He is also represented in five books. O’Hagan’s art is in public and private collections and museums in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Japan, and China, including the Denver Public Library, Robert and Judi Newman Collection, Museum of Pastel Art (Suzhou, China), Loveland Museum (Loveland, CO), Museum of Saint-Aulaye (France), U.S. Marine Corp (Denver, CO), and Ballard Spahr LLP, (Denver, CO). He teaches workshops nationally and internationally and is represented by galleries in Santa Fe, NM, Isle of Palms, SC, and Denver, CO.

“You can read ad infinitum of the landscape painter trying to “paint his feelings”, “capture the light”, “render the mood of a scene”. There is nothing particularly new or unique in this ideology, developed in part through a natural progression of a very strong landscape tradition in Australia. It is sad to see these expressions misused, abused and over used to the point of becoming almost meaningless with insincerity. Those statements are though, I believe, some of the more important aims and ideals at the core of the genuine landscape painter’s psyche. I, like others, do search for a means of expressing these qualities! I know for me these are genuine and worthy goals. In this, there is a dilemma I feel will test me. It has been a long held opinion of mine that too often the work of the traditional landscape painter has been seen in an over-familiar sort of way. That is, known objects in the picture being seen superficially and assessed according to a preconceived understanding of those objects. How do I express my vision of the subject unambiguously. It’s not a technical thing as for example, in composition. It’s far more elusive than that. I am doubting more often whether the direction I am taking can adequately reveal, for example, the thrill of gazing at the last rays of sunlight in the tree tops. I can paint something of what it looks like but I am trying to paint how I feel! I want my pictures to sing the songs I sang when I painted them. My hope is that if I can paint with the joy of that moment, something of my emotional responses to the moment will shine through.” Warwick Fuller

Hanjo Schmidt

Hanjo Schmidt
Hanjo Schmidts paintings are the departure from the smooth evenness of the beautiful facade to the core of the human being in its essence. His paintings represent the human being per se: an ambivalent existence, beautiful and at the same time ugly, vulnerable and brusque, searching and denying, showing and hiding. Our look at the paintings is like a look in the mirror reflecting upon ourselves.

Exhibition of Hero Johnson

Exhibition of Hero Johnson
Hero Johnson loves the versatility of Oils. They lend themselves to everything from fine translucent washes to thick impasto. She finds peoples endlessly fascinating which is ultimately her ideal subject matter. Unless she is working on a commission, she emerges herself painting people she knows; friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Hero finds inspiration in everyday life. She does not prefer to stick to a particular style but she uses limited palettes that gives her work a sense of unity.

Antonio Finelli - Drawings

Antonio Finelli - Drawings
Timeless Portraits by Antonio Finelli. Timeless as the refinement of the face portraiture, near and authentic faces of the Fayoum, the elegance of the details of the Renaissance painting already affected by the Flemish and, above all the deep and inner research of the nineteenth century. Finelli, with his forceful mark, practical knowledge and wisdom, illuminates the details of the white hairs and the wrinkled epidermis but hides what he doesn’t want to show. He never gives a context, he never describes; we just catch their eye and their smiles, we feel free to see in those faces whoever we want to and to reflect ourselves in them. Flawless and penciled paintings as instantaneous and essential pictures made with a hard pictorial mark. He doesn’t copy from the past but he belongs to it, or rather he belongs to that academic practice of the past to set free from it. Observing his work, Finelli already frees himself from the past. He doesn’ t try to enter into the contemporary age, he doesn’t imitate. He just draws. Mimmo Paladino for Antonio Finelli

Themes
Antonio Finelli states: “All my drawings have always ‘Self-portrait’ as name, this choice is due to two specific reasons: firstly because even if the word “self-portrait” means the representation of your own person, in the diversity of my drawings there is always a wire that links them and represents me, like the choice of the subjects, the photographic cut, etc. and secondly, because the faces that I draw haven’t to be read by the viewer as a representation of the person drawn; in fact, in my drawings, there aren’t tracks that let identify the name, the age or the provenance of the subject, what matters is the skin and the tracks of time imprinted on it."

Artist:
Antonio Finelli

Antonio Finelli (1985) is a professional artist who splits his time between Rome and Campobasso, Italy. He creates fascinating hyperreal portraits of elderly people that talk about time and the traces it leaves in our lives and faces. Finelli's artistic education started during his Secondary High School Art project at G. Manzù in Campobasso, after that, he moved to Rome to improve his artistic talent in the Academy of Fine Arts. Notable importance for his professional education was the acquaintance and the collaboration with world famous artists : Mimmo Paladino, Enzo Cucchi, Giosetta Fioroni, Luigi Ontani, Carla Accardi, Felice Levini, Giuseppe Penone, Savinio Ruggero, Gianni Dessì, Giuseppe Gallo, Giuseppe Salvatori, Jannis Kounellis, Paola Gandolfi, Stefano Di Stasio, Piero Pizzi Cannella, Bruno Ceccobelli, Maurizio Mochetti, Andrea Aquilanti, Marilù Eustachio, Aldo Turchiaro, Alfredo Pirri...

Erin Hanson

Erin Hanson
After graduating from college, Hanson entered the art trade as a professional, inspired by landscapes and vantage points only beheld by the most adventurous. Rock climbing among the brilliantly colored cliffs of Nevada and Utah, watching the seasons and the light change daily across the desert, provided endless inspiration for her work. In these beautiful surroundings, Hanson decided firmly to dedicate herself to creating one painting every week for the rest of her life. She has stuck to that decision ever since and has for the past decade been developing a unique, minimalist technique of placing impasto paint strokes without layering, which has become known as “Open-Impressionism.” As other artists began emulating her painting techniques, Hanson was credited as the pioneer and originator of this contemporary style. Through the years, Hanson has continued to use the outdoors to inspire a huge collection of work. She visits the Colorado plateau every year, backpacking and hiking through areas such as Zion National Park, Canyon de Chelly, and Monument Valley. Other favorite haunts include Paso Robles, Joshua Tree National Park, and the Anza-Borrego desert. Erin Hanson transforms these landscapes into abstract mosaics of color and texture, her impasto application of paint lending a sculptural effect to her art. Her oil paintings stand out in a crowd, bringing a fresh new look to Western landscapes.

Erin Hanson

Hanging precariously and horizontally from red sandstone, hundreds of feet above the ground, may not seem like it would inspire the creation of beautiful oil paintings, but that is exactly what happened with Erin Hanson. After a lifetime of experimenting in different styles and mediums, it wasn’t until Hanson began rock climbing at Red Rock Canyon that her painting style was consolidated by a single inspiration and force of nature. Erin Hanson began painting as a young girl, voraciously learning oils, acrylics, watercolor, pen and ink, pastels, and life drawing from accomplished art instructors. She began commissioning paintings at age ten, and by age twelve, she was employed after school by a mural studio, learning the techniques of acrylics on the grand scale of forty-foot canvases. Two years later, a high school scholarship took her to Otis College of Art, where she immersed herself in figure drawing. Graduating high school at age sixteen and once again demonstrating that she was a child prodigy, Hanson next attended UC Berkeley, excelling further in her studies and creative development and attaining a degree in Bioengineering.

Arianne Clément - The Art of Aging - A photo story on the themes of beauty and sensuality after 70

Arianne Clément - The Art of Aging - A photo story on the themes of beauty and sensuality after 70
This project owes its existence to a revelation I experienced when I encountered Marie-Berthe, a young 102-year-old beauty whose ease and casualness in front of the lens was as impressive as it was inspiring. I was immediately taken with the old woman and the way she totally - almost unconsciously - felt beautiful and attractive and was not afraid to show it off. What if beauty could not be reduced to an idealized aesthetic? What if, beyond the traces left by the passage of time on our features, beauty could be something less tangible but more lasting? This vision is far removed from learned ideas and clichés commonly associated with beauty. It doesn’t have to be something that we are born with or without and neither does it have to be the privilege of youth. Beauty has to be much more and, hopefully much better, than this. It is a way of being. Something to cultivate, teach and learn from, and something that each of the nine women, and four men, that reveal themselves in this project are marvelous examples of. As models, they have been a great inspiration to me and it is my hope that my portraits will transmit their spirit and maybe also a precious lesson on the venerable art of aging. The elders whose intimacy is revealed and celebrated here share with me a notion of beauty and sensuality that inspires a state of grace. Lightness and depth are here side by side in a provocative but thoroughly pleasurable display. Like dozens of other potential subjects, the models featured here answered my invitation issued on social media over the last few years. They were willing to contribute in their own way to redefine the way we view beauty, sensuality and old age.
Borrowing from the conventions of Nude and Boudoir photography, the pictures show my fascination with the human body and its great potential for emotional expression. It is therefore of great importance to me to establish a strong bond with my models, with the goal of laying them bare both physically and psychologically. The subjects, captured in their uniqueness, diversity and vulnerability, are sublimated by the use of black-and-white which enhances their presence and adds a poetic dimension to each portrait. These pictures also aim to illustrate my irritation with the very conformist way we view beauty and with the pervasive presence of certain imagery that subdue many people into body shaming and a fear of getting old. Camera in hand, I hope to offer different images here – pictures that celebrate a diversity of bodies as well as a different way of feeling beautiful and sensuous.

The Art of Aging Queer
After working for many years on photo projects related to old age, Arianne noticed that there is a deep and wide-spread need to celebrate love, sexuality and beauty in seniors, along with a desire to break taboos about sexuality in old age. The art of aging queer echoes Arianne's sensitivity to the marginalized, the mavericks, and her concern for the well-being and fulfillment of her friends, colleagues and acquaintances from queer communities. Arianne's incompre-hension and revulsion in the face of the discrimination and violence that members of the LGBTQ+ community still suffer, despite significant progress made in recent decades, also motivated the creation of this series. This project aims to promote inclusivity, diversity, acceptance and openness toward others Five queer models volunteered to participate in this series. The participants, despite comparable ages, come from very different worlds, and express both contrasting and nuanced conceptions of homosexuality. Five models, five unique life paths in the margins of society, five visions reflected in the photographic works of this series, each of which contributes to our understanding of what it means to be queer. The photos of the art of aging queer were shot in August 2021. They are the result of long and beautiful encounters between the photographer and her models. Photo shoots often span several hours, and in some cases, several days, which is essential to building a strong bond of trust. These sessions give an important role to improvisation; identifying how these people want to be represented, and feel beautiful, is an integral part of Arianne's approach that promotes a collaborative spirit and sensitivity.

Artist:
Arianne Clément

After obtaining a master’s degree with honours in photography from University of the Arts London, Arianne Clément travelled far and wide to find inspiration, often getting involved in humanitarian projects with the marginalized, her preferred subjects. She now devotes her work principally to portraying the elderly. Her celebrated portraits of seniors have been exhibited nationally and internationally, and won her several prizes, grants and honours. What these distinctions reflect first and foremost are the sensitivity and boldness of her work and the unique connection she manages to create with her models. ​ Her pictures and stories were published in major newspapers and prestigious journals all around the world and her work was met with enthusiastic response online, creating a buzz in social media.
Exhibition of Graham Dean

Exhibition of Graham Dean
‘The body is a powerful tool to characterize the identity of a character – from the inside to the outside. The English artist, Graham Dean transmits an essential part of the emotions and psychological states of his characters whether they be beautiful models, athletes, crazy bondage enthusiasts, identical twins, people with skin imperfections, – all using their bodies as vehicles of expression. He is essentially a painter of identity. But more than the identity of the body, it is the identity of the soul as evoked by these sumptuous watercolours. Like Egon Schiele who was researching in mental hospitals to study his subjects, Graham Dean loves these oddball characters who voluntary use their bodies often in extreme situations. His images are recomposed in a creative alchemy, mixing people, body parts and time itself. Although the works are representational, they escape the illustrational to reach a universal form from something deeply personal. He has also used buildings, mysterious ships, confessionals in churches, forests, trains, to enhance these atmospheric moods. For Graham Dean, the body is a ‘holding-pen of emotions’, a ‘thinking body’ similar to the research done by Wilhelm Reich. His characters are the receptacles of these emotions, ideas, and memories. They are witnesses of the human condition and our complex relationship with the world. Our individuality, our identity is formed by this interaction of our inner lives which is constantly penetrated and altered by the outside world. Graham’s painting is an investigation between the inside and the outside, the surface and what lies beneath. Arms, faces, torsos, legs become interchangeable – anonymous but recognisable, The body becomes a canvas, torn and stretched, a vehicle for the imagination of the artist. The works are open to interpretation, free, as are the movements of watercolour, colours and sensual shapes.
Using a technique he calls ‘’reverse archaeology’’, Graham Dean re-invents the traditional uses of watercolour resulting in a unique technique. Contrasting layers of paint are applied separately on thick, handmade paper from Southern India. Each sheet has undergone a process of tearing and overlapping to create a final composition, this corresponds to the multiple layers of the epidermis which protects the human body. The process is organic and cyclical, the paintings appear fragmented and destroyed using sections(front and back) that lead to a renaissance in the form of a new composition. The choice of colours and contrasts is important to Graham Dean : like the English landscape painter John Constable, the use of red accentuates the dramatic effect of green and yellow. These powerful and bright colours like those found in silk saris, fascinated him when he had a residency in Trivandrum, Kerala in Southern India. The application of paint glazes (multiple, transparent layers) create intensity and depth, as in Rothko. The juxtaposition of complimentary colours creates strong, theatrical works. The artist illuminates his figures in the manner of a filmmaker, pointing to body parts, which are also found in the videos of the artist. Intoxicated by the colour and the pleasure he takes in his touch, Graham Dean likes the thickness of the paper and the sensual, exotic properties of transparency and opacity. Just as Peter Doig builds the work of materials (sets of textures, colours – pure and mixed), he creates painted atmospheres. Moving forms which escape our gaze, disintegrate before our eyes . We admire his mastery of pigments suspended in water.’ Adapted from an article by Galerie Maubert, Paris. September 2011

Sheryl Luxenburg Canadian Hyperreal Painter

Sheryl Luxenburg Canadian Hyperreal Painter
Evgenia Luxenburg’s drafting and painting methods are grounded in classical formulae. She works in dry brush style using a dappled technique of lying different colored marks of paint side by side and by glazing with thin translucent layers of single color one on top of the other. Through the decades, she has maintained allegiance to water-based media and has invented unusual methods of applying absorbent compound on top of gessoed layers and in mixing acrylic and water-color paint with a granulating medium. In all compositions, she strives for tight details and precision on the main subject elements and uses an airbrush when suggesting the background.

Theme
Luxenburg describes her figures interacting with water or condensation on glass as a symbolic expression, a metaphor for a fatigued emotional state, a sense of alienation and the process of cleansing disturbing emotions. She describes her models as the vessels who carry her projected emotions. Most of Luxenburg’s series’ portray her moods and the psychological phases relating to the challenging periods in her life.

Artist:
Sheryl Luxenburg

Sheryl Luxenburg is a Canadian hyperrealist painter and artist mentor based in Ottawa who uses watercolor on paper and acrylic on linen with airbrush and regular brush to capture ultra-realistic subject matter. The flattened depiction of space revealed in her paintings is so hard to distinguish from reality, especially when viewed online, that many scrolls over her hand-painted work thinking they are photographs. Although Luxenburg’s technical skills are impeccable, it is most important to her that the viewer identifies with her subject matter and finds the soul in her artwork.

Education

Her undergraduate art education was completed in studio painting at Concordia University and The School of Art & Design of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, Quebec,.Then she attended graduate studies at McGill University , Montreal, Quebec. The Banff Centre For The Arts, Banff Alberta and at Keene State College, New Hampshire, U.S.
Alejandra Caballero

Alejandra Caballero
Current figurative poetic paintings Intimate scenes predominate where time passes slowly and the characters contemplate, reflect or are revealed in everyday actions. As in memories, the superfluous is eliminated. The female figure stands out in spaces where light and sometimes the sea are also protagonists. Alejandra excites us with her scenes of eloquent silences and makes us participate in a game of looks where the viewer is an active piece that finishes giving the ultimate meaning to the work.
If anything characterizes Alejandra Caballero, it is the deep stillness present in her works. Everyday intimate life (similar to that of the Dutch Flemish), accompanied by a diffused brush stroke, results in the impression of languor, as if diluted. The tones, in turn, distill harmony and softness, transmitting peace, a sense of nostalgia, of a deep calm, of serenity.

André Lundquist The Poetry of Silence

André Lundquist The Poetry of Silence
For those who decide to enter the world of his paintings, Lundquist promises a great deal of emotions. His figurative painting is sensual and timeless. Grace, lightness, peace … are other words to describe the painting of André Lundquist. There is in his works a silent poetry that allows the viewer to enter each of them calmly, without fear. This is a real tour de force, because for the most of them, the women portraited and sketched, which he gives life to on the canvas, are presented and revealed in their intimacy. They are sitting, standing, lying, kneeling … And yet, the painter’s gesture never exudes any kind of voyeurism. These women are like stills who let under their skin pigments, behind the iris of their eyes, break a more complex story … As visual metaphors, they sometimes are the mirror of our own experiences sometimes a door open, behind which the viewer can give free rein to his / her imagination. In each of these women there are a thousand stories, a thousand situations to appropriate for one self or not.

Artist:
André Lundquist

André Lundquist was born in 1972 in Copenhagen, where he received his initial training with the painter Therese Dragshøj (1909-1998). His graphic studies under the tutelage of Peter Martensen (represented by the “Galerie Danoise” in Paris) have clearly left their mark on his technique and explain his penchant for creating tensions between the characters which he paints and the surface of the canvas on which they are painted. In 1999, he was the recipient of a scholarship from the Beckett Foundation. As part of the prize he had a residency in Southern Spain at the Valparaiso Fondación. He used that stay to seek new sources of inspiration. From this trip as well as many stays in the South of France, he withhold some feelings and sensations, which he later released and translated into light and colors. For those who decide to enter the world of his paintings, Lundquist promises a great deal of emotions. His figurative painting is sensual and timeless. Grace, lightness, peace … are other words to describe the painting of André Lundquist. There is in his works a silent poetry that allows the viewer to enter each of them calmly, without fear.

In each of these women there are a thousand stories, a thousand situations to appropriate for one self or not. Lundquist mixes oil, ink, charcoal, crayon, wallpaper. Many overlays which give all its originality to his body of work. These palimpsests sometimes born out of a subtle pastel color palette sometimes full of vivid, bright colors, are the creations of fine colorist whose lineage goes back to the late nineteenth / early twentieth century.

Watercolor art by Ramesh Jhawar

Watercolor art by Ramesh Jhawar
Ramesh’s paintings are mostly depictions of everyday life combined with the element of strong light and shadows. He plays with light and shades depicting everyday life look dreamy and surreal. Being a self-taught artist has helped him evolve an individual style rather than fetter him into one school of painting. There is never a dearth of subjects for him as he is constantly inspired by one thing or the other. His experiences have enriched him, not only as a person but also as an artist. He wants his art to speak for itself rather than give an explanation for it, obviously, that is the best way to judge art.

Troy Brooks

Troy Brooks
Troy Brooks looks at the contradictions of artificiality through portraits of androgynous women captured at the height of their own private dramas. Presenting them spot-lit, Troy makes them appear almost like film stars, enhancing the suggestion of potent hidden narratives. In this way his women seem somehow prisoners of their own exuberance, beholden to their decadent impulses whilst also lucid enough to perceive their own folly.
“Brooks’s female subjects are not what we might call beautiful in the traditional sense. But these oddly elongated, crystal eyed ladies are none the less compelling to look at. Each one seems to be a piece of a story that writes itself different for every viewer. One can’t help but wonder what lies beneath these contemplative faces... what have they seen?” — SHE WALKS SOFTLY “His surreal portraits of women with elongated anatomies have become signature icons of the new contemporary art scene. Clearly influenced by the dramatic glamour of the femme Fatales of 30’s and 40’s film noir, Brooks’ women stare down the viewer as if taking their measure from within the world behind the frame. They are aloof, yet burning with interior dialogue and seductively demanding the attention of anyone who catches their gaze.” — COREY HELFORD GALLERY

"Born 1972 in Southern Ontario, Canada. I had no formal training. The only teachers I had were the photographers and lighting technicians of the old Hollywood studio system. I learned how to draw and paint from vintage movie stills. I learned the art of visual story telling from watching those stills come to life in late night movies. I live and make my art in a converted 19th century bank in the historic town of Wallaceburg, Ontario Canada."

Troy Brooks is a contemporary surrealist painter. His work presents elaborate pageantry of female characters observed in allegorical settings. These women play out intimate scenes, usually caught in moments where something transformative has or is about to happen. The ‘women of Troy’ have become distinctive images on the contemporary pop surrealism scene.

Galina Gomzina

Galina Gomzina
I have always been fascinated by water; in almost all of my works you can see the depicted water with enchanting and elusive reflections of the reality surrounding us. These stories that convey a sense of peace and harmony, at the same time are filled with energy and motion. I always say that: "Water is a genuine creator. Sometimes it creates its masterpieces only for a moment, and then they disappear into oblivion, only for the new ones to appear… and it’s fascinating for an artist to capture and portray these very moments in a picture…" Galina Gomzina

Artist:
Galina Gomzina

Galina Gomzina is a talented watercolor painter possessing a high mastery of watercolor technique. Her masterpieces are widely known both in Russia and abroad. Galina was born in St. Petersburg, in a city of extraordinary beauty, where the majestic Neva River and numerous picturesque canals flow. This was the very thing that has influenced the artist’s creativity; in almost all of her works we see the masterly depicted water with enchanting and elusive reflections of the reality surrounding us. These stories that convey a sense of peace and harmony, at the same time are filled with energy and motion. Galina has always been fascinated by water: “Water is a genuine creator. Sometimes it creates its masterpieces only for a moment, and then they disappear into oblivion, only for the new ones to appear… and it’s fascinating for an artist to capture and portray these very moments in a picture…» Galina has graduated from the Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy, the Department of Design. But as the artist says, she was attracted by a magical watercolor since her childhood, and began to master it only after graduation. It was an exciting and complex process, and, as a result, in 2000, Galina started her work as a professional watercolor painter. Her favorite technique is «A la prima», a one-layer watercolor technique on wet paper. Galina is a member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia and the Russian Society of Marine Artists. The artist’s creative biography includes more than 10 solo exhibitions both in Russia and abroad, constant participation in international watercolor exhibitions and the biennale (China, England, Italy, Emirates, Albania, Serbia, etc.), and a large number of publications. So, her work was appreciated by both connoisseurs and non-professional artists in Beijing, where her personal exhibition “Two Venice” was held in 2006. Her works are located in private collections in Russia and other countries (England, Italy, Spain, America, China, Serbia, etc.)

The artist’s creative life takes place both in her homeland and abroad, on trips to picturesque places that are often unique, far from tourist routes. Despite her intense exhibition activities, the artist expresses her talent in successful teaching. She conducts watercolor courses, online classes and plein air workshops both in Russia and abroad (Germany, Italy, etc.) Galina is a very energetic, positive and, as her students say, cheerful person who generously shares the secrets of her skills. She is very creative in conducting her classes, so they are always emotional and productive. Some of her students are already participating in international watercolor exhibitions.

Hubert de Lartigue
The female body is the major inspiration and subject in Hubert de Lartigue's work. Influenced by fashion photography and the glossy idealization of the female nude, the artist portrays the beauty and imperfections of his live models in sensual and alluring poses. Hubert explains his work by saying, “The portrait is a classic theme in the world of painting. However, I try to create elements of surprise in each of my portraits, the way I crop them, the expression or the attitude of the models. But the power of the portrait lies above all in the look of the model, which is unique each time. All I have to do is underline the strength and the intensity,”

Hubert de Lartigue is a French painter and illustrator. After graduating with graphic arts, he began his career in the field of packaging, as well as a freelance illustrator. His works were more related to science fiction, book covers, and pin-ups. Since the 2000s, he turned increasingly to photo-realism and hyper-realism, including anatomical details in portraits or large canvases.

Małgorzata Chodakowska

Małgorzata Chodakowska
In her graceful sculptures, Malgorzata Chodakowska addresses the longing for inner peace, the search for inner balance - an ideal state that we consciously or unconsciously pursue all more or less. And so one is inevitably enthralled by their creations, which appear to us as soulful, individual beings. The human being - the measure of all things, from the ideal of the Greek high-class to the Renaissance to the present day, this theme has been devoted to whole generations of sculptors. Again and again, stimulating is the choice of motif for the dance as an expression of emotional feelings that communicate about the body language. Chodakowska confronts us with sculptures that appear extremely differentiated in their postures and physiognomies and thus symbolize very different characters. Some appear open and self-confident, while others are fragile and withdrawn, almost melancholy. The faces change as the figures move around, inner states of mind appear even more clearly.

Theme
Her recurring theme is the so-called "Stammfrau" (loosely, "archetypal woman"), usually carved from wood to give a life-sized or slightly larger than life-sized form. She told an interviewer in 2008, "Working with the human form enables me to feel as close as possible to the figure I am working on, and so I have the feeling that this is the form I can best compose sculpturally".

Artist:
Małgorzata Chodakowska

Małgorzata Chodakowska was born and grew up in the heart of Poland, at Łódź, where between 1980 and 1985 she attended the Liceum Sztuk Plastycznyc ("Fine Arts Secondary School").

Three years later, in 1988, she moved on again, this time to the Academy of Visual Arts in Vienna, in order to progress her studies further. Her prize-winning dissertation, which she submitted in 1991, was supervised by Bruno Gironcoli.

Reflections of the World - Worlds of Reflections

Reflections of the World - Worlds of Reflections
Gerd Lieder, an artist and, among other things, an art historian, spans the broad spectrum from basic topics of the art science to philosophy to a contemporary exploration of human perception. With the highest technical and content precision, he brings seemingly unstructured shapes and colors into overarching, perfectly harmonious harmony. Through his individual, well-defined imagery he manages to convey the essential nature of art: art is a reflection, a reflection of reality, or rather, what we perceive as reality. It is our perception that shapes reality, so the reality is always subjective and cannot be determined according to generally applicable standards. Lieder reminds us of this by dissolving, reflecting and flowing into one another the forms we are talking about. The point of this game with perception is that there is no solution and everything is possible at the same time. The answer is not provided by the artist, but the viewer has to find it for himself. So life is.

Theme
Since 2000 his theme is about the visual experienceable world by means of reflection in different media like foils, water, glass, mirrors, and reality.

Artist Statement
The first “picture” in human history was a reflection - in a puddle, a still lake or a water hole. And the reflection of a bowed-over early face may have contributed significantly to the realization of man: The self-performed movements and grimaces are also the mirror image again - so I have to be what it looks at me. The key phrase is not “Cogito, ergo sum”, but “Video, ergo sum” - I see (me), therefore I am. - Gerd Lieder (https://gerdlieder.com/de/rezensionen/)

Gerd Lieder

Reflections of the World - Worlds of Reflections

Gerd Lieder was born in Germany in 1955. He currently lives and works in Bremen. His contemporary oil paintings are depictions of the world as seen through the lens of reflection. Since 2000, the artist has carried different mirrors with him throughout the world to arrange as conspirators to his unique observations of compositions, situations, objects, and environments. Strategically placed for viewing his subjects through, they create the opportunity for a freeze-framing filter, representing the way our individual experiences inform unique renditions of our common existence. Overall, his paintings remark on the transient qualities of reality affected by place, circumstance, time and the ever-changing and impermanent perceptions of the viewer. Lieder attended the Ludwig-Maximillian University in Munich where he studied theatre science, history of art, German language and literature. His work has been included in many solo and group exhibitions in Germany and the United States.

Terry Rodgers

Terry Rodgers
Rodgers is an accomplished painter with a striking mastery of light and transitions as is evidenced by his current body of work. This work focuses on the life of the upper-middle-class Americans, seemingly adrift in affluence and casualness, unsatisfied and disconnected. Nonetheless, Rodgers's work remains firmly rooted in life class drawing, necessitating the use of, and contact with, human models. Rodgers asks friends, acquaintances, professional models, and, sometimes, total strangers, to pose for him in a photography session. He then builds a scenario in a painting by pulling together elements from a wide array of photographs. His rendering of an imaginary leisure life stands as an iconic vision of the tensions and confusion endemic to today's society. The resulting images are not snapshots or slices of life, not verite records of actual moments in actual families or party situations, or diaristic records of his family life, but carefully constructed and composited fictions, designed to elicit the most meaning and sustain the maximum amount of ambiguity. The seductive and marvelous glamour of the outer world jars against the vulnerability and delicacy of our inner and private selves. From spectacular large oil canvases and mixed media to stark photo-portraits and kaleidoscopic videos, Rodgers’ work both collapses and emphasizes psychic distance and physical proximity. It suggests that, in a world of ready-made entertainment, there’s an underlying uncertainty and a sense that something is missing.
Cutting edge art and the figurative is again avant-garde in the paintings by Terry Rodgers. The viewer is at the same time a voyeur and a guest at the party, but an existential calm reigns in the paintings. Rodgers is a master of composition.

Lene Kilde
Lene Kilde grew up in Rælingen outside Oslo. She has a Master’s degree in Production Design from the Oslo and Akershus College at Kjeller. She also has studied at Einar Granum’s Art School and Asker Art School. Early on, Lene primarily worked with figurative steel wire sculptures.Through the steel wire sculptures, she challenges ideas about the differences between sculpture and drawing. Lene Kilde creates sculptures inspired by children and their emotions. She finds that children’s body language is their purest form of communication. This is visualized by showing very few body parts, usually only hands and feet, which then are placed in proportion to each other with the use of metal mesh. Her intention is to invite the audience to use their own imagination so that they can complete the sculptures and fill in the lines and volume by themselves. The sculptures are made of concrete, metal mesh and air.
