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 …

I have a clear affinity for trees in art, but sometimes, there are some that are more vibrant than I expect. Laura Zollar’s “Tree of Life” is one example. This tree glimmers with life and joy. Viewers are given to view the sky, the leaves and the roots, all depicted as charming and beautiful parts …

Milly Martionou: Abstract Impressionist
by
26-06-2016

The art of Milly Martionou makes me smile, not just because her art is bristling with optimistic paroxysms of delight, but also, on a far more simple level, because the name of her artistic style tickles my proverbial funny bone.

by

And yet, Bingaman has found ways …

by
16-03-2016

A resident of Nice, France, artist Alain Laugier’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 wide variety of places, (the beach, …
