Street Fusion came to life in 2010. A colorful explosion with an urban street feeling, this piece was inspired by old school funk music and street art. My aim is to make people feel happy while enjoying my art. Enjoy color, enjoy life! www.gravestam.com 

My painting is about conjuring up layered views. Painting is one of the most complex and expressive visual forms.   The method of application itself demands revision through contemplation – colours being mixed, loaded onto brushes and marks being made. I use colour as a celebration and for accessing something beyond the rational.  It is the […]

All pieces of my seven-part series of “levensdingen” (life episodes) represent universal experiences during the life of a human being: love, hatred, joy, sorrow, friendship, animosity, fear, security, victory, defeat life and death.The pictures are painted with strong contrasts as vigorous brushstrokes in sober colors work to depict strong emotions. The skin is rendered vulnerable, […]

My paintings reflect a search for reconciliation between apparent contradictions.

My pieces are created by layering, collaging, glazing, and painting different elements together. I then destroy certain parts of the image by stripping […]

My works, full of life, show both humans and animals in touching situations. My pieces express a pronounced energy, with crisp, subdued colors glowing with rich texture. The layers of […]

I was born in Midland, Texas in 1951. I attended Stephens College and Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts where I earned a degree in documentary photography in 1976, studying under Jerome Liebling. An abiding curiosity of nature’s wonders underlies much of my work. “My photography is about sharing … sharing my love of life, of […]

I am an artist from Norway who graduated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 1989. My art has developed from powerful drawings to colorful and expressive oil paintings with abstract elements from nature. My art has been described as follows: “Thorsby’s signature element of light reverberates through all her paintings, whether from […]

Walk-on actors are an endless succession of etched portraits, where both background and theme take possession of the image with equal amounts of power. Uninterrupted lines flow from faces to the surrounding area, and vice versa. The etched mark is the only protagonist; everything else is simply a walk-on actor. www.kongsfjordatelier.net
