Jeff Ramirez : This is the life - These are the real things
Cella Gallery - North Hollywood, CA USA United States of America

  Jeff's paintings almost always evoke the same jaw-dropping reaction followed by the utterance: "this has to be a photograph‰. A relative newcomer to the fine art world, Jeff's technical skill and mastery of photo-realistic painting along with his unique and often humorous take on the art of portraiture, has already garnered him much praise and attention on numerous art blogs and websites. In Los Angeles his paintings have been shown in a handful of themed group shows, including last year's Crazy 4 Cult 2 at Gallery 1988, where Jeff's four small paintings of Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly sold and later were made into limited edition prints. This is Jeff's first solo exhibition with Cella Gallery. Read Indepth Article

Rita Kashap Homage to Friedrich S.
Galerie Vinogrado - Berlin, DE Germany

  The creative work of Rita Kashap is distinguished by its special relationship to traditions and history, to the art of past years, but also to the present. Characteristic for the works of the artist is the picturesque energy of a richly colored space that creates its own forms and figures. The paintings are shaped by her entirely own feeling of harmony. Rita Kashap has been a Premiere Portfolio Member at absolutearts.com since 2004. Read Indepth Article

    Thank You, Claude Monet
    Mt Mcclanahan, USA

    It's interesting to me how our 'inner voices' control us. We may logically see where we want to go but the layer upon layer of societal dogma that has been allowed to infiltrate our psyche dictates to us. To be able to completely let go of all hindrances, inhibitions, fears, yes that's the one, fears, and blaze my true trail, this is my aim.

    I was viewing an Impressionist's exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of Art a couple years back, looking intently at a Monet and trying to glen some tinge of knowledge, when I noticed how much of the tinted canvas was left to show through in the painting. I knew that the Impressionist's were derided for the unfinished nature of their work but this early plein-air's audacity struck me solidly.
