by Lee Down
06-10-2022

Artist Dawn Rodger, calling it honestly, is one of the most unique people I’ve come to know in the art world. Dawn is an artist, mother, wife, friend, sister, cat-lover and so many other things, who treats the world differently. Including through her art. Dawn sees people, not just their actions. She does not just …

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 …

Artist Kavitha Saminathan Delights the Mood
by
01-01-2017

The one thing that modern art gives us, such as that by Kavitha Saminathan,  is canvasses of pure delight. No longer is it necessary for viewers of art to be well informed of the story behind a painting or the absolute context of a visual work. Because of the way art has grown since the …

Artist Brandon Scott: Temperance, Prudence, Fortitude
by
03-09-2016

It’s fair to declare Brandon Scott a portrait artist, because, clearly, portraits are his specialty. It would never be fair to say that he is “just” a portrait artist, however. The word “just” diminishes the quality and importance of the art of portraits, and it assumes that Scott possesses no other potential to his skill as an artist. …

Mo Tuncay: Abstract, but on Track
by
08-08-2016

Mo Tuncay is a self-taught and extraordinarily gifted abstract artist who paints, not so much scenes, as he does notions of scenes—paintings that allow his viewers to experience the emotions of being in these ideal spots. We viewers may not agree on what we’re seeing, but, for the most part, we all recognize a similar–if not identical–feeling from a …

Stephanie Noblet: Pushing the Envelope Without Breaking it Open
by
24-06-2016

One need not survey a large selection of Stephanie Noblet’s art in order to see that she lives up to her name, “Noblet” or “Noble.” While it may be argued that her work pushes the line between art and what some may see as sexually evocative, still, it is clear that she keeps that line …

by
16-03-2016

Romance in Colour by Alain LéLé A resident of Nice, France, artist Alain LéLé’s typical topics for his paintings are, not surprisingly, romantic. While he does delve into the area of painting portraits with decidedly less success, his emphasis is the romantic scene. On the whole, his artistic fascination is on a scene in a …
