Artists Describing Their Art:

Tom Kelly - The primary direction of my work is dedicated to the visual representation of past literary works, historical figures, myths, and stories which are partially lost to time. In the space between the event and our current time there are gaps in perception, memory, materials and history that we fill with how we interpret our present world. The cultural, physical, and philosophical space in which we inhabit is the modifier of how our past is seen and the indicator of the direction of our future. We cannot help but to see the past through the lenses of our time and because of this the past can appear to be a strange and at times unknowable place. I address the space between history and contemporary perception by making surfaces that are variously layered, abraded, stained, cleaned, collaged with found objects and over-painted. An eroding wall surface that has been subject to the vagaries of time is analogous to the way the space of the past is perceived in the present. In the worn surface we can see the march of time and ponder the various ways in which the surface was affected by time. Ideas of support or ruin, asset or ...

Vicki Myers - Jonathan Benitez - my art is a storytelling in visual form.my images are my attempt to extricate memories from my past experiences as a child.i live in a coastal community where the daily toils of the fisher folks are my sources of inspirations. beauty sometimes do not reconcile with certain aesthetics. but i found it in exploring realities,there is beauty in depicting the human conditions,the other side of happiness,the negative feelings as effected by pain and sufferings but unspoken.the best art in the world is not about happiness but its about depicting what happen to humanity. ...

Jean Yves Lemeur - First I was ingeneer student when came ill with schizophrenia and I had to change.I discovered painting in hospital and my mother liked.So years and years later I felt ok again and started really painting, now for two years. Now I really need to suprise me with new paintings, about two ones a week.Discovering other's work is great too, and I can say writing stories or poems takes a bigger place you imagine to go into paintings sooner or later. So my paintings strangely feed with research of past silent years lost. ...

Vanessa Bernal - Artist's statement: My earliest childhood memories are those of painting with my grandfather and frequently visiting the Art Institute of Chicago where we would spend countless hours together. He taught me that everything we come in contact with has the potential of becoming a work of art. My grandfather and I would take walks together to hunt for "treasures" of discarded objects that later he would turn into beautiful collages and assemblages. It is those lessons I carry with me and -today- in my work I see his influence. I have never been comfortable with expressing myself verbally. I am not one to strike up a conversation with a stranger, nor do I feel comfortable speaking to a group of people. Visual expression comes naturally to me; it is through this means I can best communicate with others and feel the most comfortable. At a young age I became aware of the injustices being perpetrated in the world and was deeply disenchanted with the political process as a means of creating effective change in our global community. For me, becoming an artist was inevitable. Through the visual arts not only did I communicate my life's passions, my fears, ...

David Mihaly - The first series here represents notable historical and pop culture figures, many with Ohio roots, presented in a contemporary style. Each portrait can be seen as a celebration of the individual depicted as well as a meditation on the difference between the bygone era of actual achievement in the arts versus todays culture of instant celebrity. Also included here is a series of textured jazz musician portraits. Each musician painting was made using a layered acrylic technique, evoking the smoky atmosphere of the clubs where the music was born....

Angelia Young - Art is my breath, my passion within it you see me. I have always enjoyed art as a venue for my ideas and my dreams. I want to share my passion for art with others who enjoy the beauty of interpretation. My art and creation is generally done through paintings as I enjoy the expression through oil and acrylic paints used to express my emotions. I also enjoy sketching with pencil and charcoal. Painting is a magical experience that I have enjoyed since childhood. Born and raised in Missouri and currently living in Saint Louis, Missouri. I have always sketched anything I could see, envisioning images that are in my head and creating it on canvas or paper. Looking at the world through an artist eyes gives one the ability to take from it what you see and create what you feel. My intention is to create art work that will allow the viewer to feel the world around them, see the expression of the artist and develop an emotion for what one is viewing. Art evokes emotion and expression; within it you will see the artist. ...

Jeffrey Dickinson - My work revolves around the figure. Most is drawn directly from a model in a studio setting. Although that sounds simple anyone who has attempted it knows it takes years of practice and effort to produce something worthwhile. I am constantly working towards improving my drawing skills. A few years ago I began doing quick watercolors over my pencil drawings. I like the spontaneity and immediacy achieved in this way. I also paint in oils and acrylics. These paintings are much more planned out and carefully executed. Although the subject matter is often surreal or narrative they still have as there basis a realistically drawn figure. ...

Javier Cañete - My name is Javier Canete. I'm from Argentina. My art is developed through the batik, acrylic painting and photography. In that I develop my restlessness and convictions, always treating that the beauty prevails. At the moment I expose my works in Buenos Aires but my art is in many places of the world. That is something that honors me and full with happiness....
