Alex Johnmeyer’s Artistic Journey
by Lee Down
29-03-2017

Alex Johnmeyer I always knew I wanted to be an artist. However, finding my own style? Well, that took a little while longer. If one is to be considered a “professional” artist, most gallery owners and customers like to see a cohesive vision, a unifying note that ties all the work together. I have never …

Jennifer Beaudet: Impressionist Painter
by
15-02-2017

Impressionism, as created by Jennifer Beaudet, is one of many styles of art that has its origins in France. It began after the advent of the camera, when artists themselves asked, “Why should we try to recreate life perfectly on canvas when the camera can do so with greater perfection on paper?” So, in a …

Angler Artist, Jason Bordash: Colour Coordinator Extraordinaire
by
07-12-2016

Jason Bordash’s angler art is a flourish of colour in what may be thought of as simply a colourscape, a painting celebrating colour, even as a landscape celebrates land, a seascape celebrates the ocean or as a spacescape celebrates space. The issue is that he paints fish, more often than not, and a fish’s beauty …

Steven Christian Reed: Nostalgia on Canvas
by
04-11-2016

Memory Lane was never so charming before the artist Steven Christian Reed put it to canvas. Beautifully unorthodox in his approach to art, Reed captures, not just a subject onto canvas, but the impression of the hazy recollection and naive understanding of the world seen through children’s eyes.

He is a gifted portrait artist, but in his art, the words Volpicelli uses like other artists use colour, are intimately connected with his subject, so they speak just as much about the subject as …

by
07-09-2016

The work of German artist, Astrid Stöppel, is referred to as “minimalism”—art that makes its statement in the briefest of terms, makes it clear and concise, and leaves the viewer stupefied with the lingering question, “Did I understand that or am I missing something?” It’s really no small wonder that one would regard her art this way. The answer …
