Catherine Lan

Catherine Lan uses fashion elements to create fairy-tale based work that literally burst from the canvas in a splash of eye poping colors and playful textures that belies mature, poingnant explorations of female identity. The materials: fabric, faux fur, rhinestone, faux fur, fake pearl, glitter are combined with acrylic or spray paint to make paintings that deconstruct architypal characters such as "Little Red Riding Hood", "Snow White" and "Aladdin and the Adventure. " She continues to explore the theme of female identity through contemporary perspective with the more influence of popular culture and pop art.

Kristian Rangel

Imagination fused with life, travels, thoughts and dreams... is the expression of my work. Every line scrutinized by perfectionism is laid to rest with endless incessant repetition. "Balanced Chaos" is the work's foundation. Stroke after stroke, layer upon layer, balance is found through chaos... a programed Chaos founded in Randomness... a Randomness reciprocated by symmetry's illusion. My current work focuses on both pencil and scratchboards. The scratchboards are clay-covered hardboard panels coated with Black India Ink. After scratching the composition with a metal point, i use a brush to apply colored indian inks.

Matthew Lauretti

Creating large-scale, calligraphic-style graffiti paintings, Lauretti’s work about New York explores the themes and relationships of its surroundings. A tireless talent whose artistic life has always been devoted to a search for the new, Lauretti is well known for the dynamism, poetry, and spirit of his works. His paintings are typified by their large size, luminosity, and varied use of materials.

Gunilla Oldenburg

Born in Avesta, Sweden and raised at an idyllic place by the Dalecarlia River, the influences of nature early became my greatest source of inspiration.Studying abstract painting under the eminent artists Emilio Vedova and Zao Wou-Ki, my style became an interesting combination of west and east, a mixture of poetic compositions, rhythm and texture. In my 3-dimensional paintings I experiment with different materials, for example dried sea-algae from the Swedish west coast.

Carlos Aquilino

These drawings are from the series I have begun in 2009. All are markers on paper. There is no initial penciling in. Thoughts and feelings are articulated across the paper, with no beginning, border or end. A whirlwind of persons, objects, places and words together interlinked among them. With these drawings I try to reflect the density of my environment and its endless activity. We are surrounded by life, stars, cars, smoke, music, love, insults, .., we are surrounded. Always spinning!

Tove Hellerud

The layers of paint are laid onto the canvas with the lightest touches, while the subject matter in the large oil paintings is ephemeral and mysterious. Images of violence appear occasionally, intermingled with clouds of emotion and pierced hearts. Humanity finds a fractured reflection of itself within the work. The method is contemplative, meditative, and indulgent.. This is a mysterious form of painting, in which art seems to return to its ancestral shamanic role. The particular inspiration to his work. They represent an emotion or a state of mind. And the in the colors inform Hellerud palette, particularly in the form of languid, swirling blooms of paint sprawling from one side of the canvas to the next. flow, ramble and rage with an impressive consistency—yet it never gets beyond itself. Disassociated from any corresponding sensation, experience, or thing,her metaphoric abstractions glisten over whatever surface they happen to occupy. Demanding that viewers leave at the door notions of what painting should be, Hellerud allows them the freedom to let feelings be the guide. "The paintings develop from an exploration of mark making. I do notbegin with any imagery in mind. I work intuitively to develop acomposition. Each layer is made by working with, or against, the last.One compositional approach that I have been exploring is composed ofshort, choppy, vertical or horizontal marks, which suggest an agitatedground that strives to contain a structure attempting to emerge from aflurry of brushstrokes. Another approach is built from long,interwoven marks, rising and falling across the canvas, intertwiningwith one another in a ropy physicality of paint. Ultimately, the workevolves from the act of seeking, with the knowledge that thepossibility of editing always exists."
