Annell Livingston

In this series Fragments G&C, compositions are based on geometry and change, in color, value, temperature, or intensity.  These changes can be seen as the eye moves from top to bottom, bottom to top, or from side to side.  Through this process I can explore simultaneously the mysterious spaces between inside and outside, colorfield and image, figuration and abstraction, […]

Nicolás Morrison

It is difficult to determine if a “fix statement” operates between this series of experiments with the image. What seems to connect them is the insistent pursuit of change; the radical transformation of their initial forms, its essence, what makes them be what they are. Part of this process and praxis of the artist, is […]

Choukry Benmansour

In communion with nature, I paint Fuschias and Dead leaves, I go from the Sahara to the Depths of the ocean. Yet, nothing in my work takes me away from semi-precious stones: colors, veins and light evoke the original source of my painting. “Mystery or mysticism … my work seems abstract,” only at first sight. […]

My abstract works arise powerful and expressive in thoughtless painting. The perspective of my mosaic-type arrangement of shapes imparts depth to the paintings and draws the eye to the very center of the picture. These windows seem to keep gloomy secrets. kunstmalerei-schulz.de

DARU-Jung Hyang Kim: Aesthetic Nuances of the Circle by Soojung Hyun

While the writer Richard Sennett presumes that contemporary art has been endeavoring to exclude the human hand in art, this notion appears in opposition to the work of artist DARU-Jung Hyang Kim. In examining her work, one may find a very different direction. Kim’s works possess a vibrant delivery of the brush that engages bold […]

Dariusz Mlącki

My art is clearly contemplative in nature. I paint on canvas, timber boards, and cork sheets. I make sculpted objects using string, or make spatial and  illusive painting objects. The array of colors is quite limited to various shades of white, grey, black, or brown. As an artist, I oscillate on the border between a […]
