Carolyn Adams
Carolyn Adams is an American painter and she lived in Europe for twenty years. The
European cultural exposure had a great influence on her work as an artist. During
that time she exhibited in several galleries and participated in many group shows. For
years Ms. Adams has studied and experimented with the Old Master technique and has
developed her own unique technique style. As an artist she is concerned with concepts
of space and its relationship to the extremities of chiaroscuro and color intensity.
She strives to find a statement of balance and awareness between craftsmanship and
spirituality.

Francis Akpata
As a painter, Francis Akpata strives to depict what Immanuel Kant described as «the
sublime»- a work that stretches our imaginations, going so far beyond our normal
expectations that it changes our perception of the object or subject.
Mr Akpata primarily uses three techniques to give objects, subjects, and feelings a
transformative perspective, Expressionism which he used for the “Queen”, Cubism used
for “His Epileptic View” and Abstract Expressionism for “Meandering Seamlessly”. Mr
Akpata studied Philosophy at Kings College London and studied painting at the City
Literary Institute.

Lilyan Aloma
At the heart of my photographic work over the past fifteen years has been my
fascination with Manhattan’s cityscape, and the constant evolution of commerce
within its space. In its current evolution my work captures the cityscape as it is
reflected. Between 2003 and 2009 I had 3 solo exhibitions at OK Harris Works of
Art, entitled, Mecca or Madness, Billscapes, and Deconstruction. My cityscapes
have received recognition through national and international juried competition,
and through public and private acquisition. In 2010, I was honored by the Aaron
Siskind Foundation with an IPF Fellowship for my body of work, entitled,
Billscapes.

Daniela Ament
Born lives and works in Israel. An autodidact artist,
Daniela had about 50 exhibitions solo or group in Israel, Paris France, Florence &
Ferrara Italy, Vancouver Canada and Miami & NYC USA.

M in 2008.
In this work I intend to emphasize the importance of not forgetting the Holocaust With
all that happens in the world in so many places.
I did it by making the color fade, like evaporating, the physical shape too, and the words
gone - as in the last image there is a hole where there where word before.

Emil Antony
In 2003 I visited South Africa a first time. It was my intention to watch and photograph
animals in their natural habitat in order to be able to paint them later on. Luckily,
I have been able to fulfill almost all my dreams in this regard.
Drawn by the fantastic nature and a sense of adventure, I travel to Africa several times
a year, capture the wild, adventurous scenes with my camera and later paint them at
home. Frequently, I also produce sketches of scenes straightaway in order to be able
to better render my impressions at home. I take the time to go on long safaris and am
always attracted anew to this fascinating country with its breathtaking contrasts. The
magnificent landscapes and the diverse flora and fauna time and again cast their spell
on me whether I find myself in the desert of Namibia, the savannah of South Africa,
Swaziland, Rwanda, Malawi, Tanzania Botswana or Mozambique. Here
I can experience the whole variety of the African animal kingdom on my own during
unforgettable adventures.
That is why South Africa is the most beautiful part of the world for me and this is where
my love of Africa, southern Africa and its animal world begins.

Lucie Boswell
Lucie Boswell is an american artist who resides in Los Angeles, California, is most well
known as a nationally and internationally exhibiting all over the world especially Italy,
France as well as United States. While most known for her abstract painting, Lucie
invented these abstracts using airbrush paint on canvas, abstract pieces that invite the
audience to define the art themselves and have been her most successful artwork sold and
exhibited. Two Years ago she was invited by three prestigious New York city galleries to
work with them showing several pieces in very high profile art shows including Art Expo
NYC the past three years as well, as a full page or two in collectors book for both New
York and Miami Art Basel shows in recent years. Lucie is fortunate to be able to spend
most her time living the dream as an artist yet she also works with others and donate to
several museums and art organisations and is actively involved in artwalks and the art
scene. She never wants to retire, rather continue to envolve and reinvent herself as an
artist.

Henrik Brondsted
Henrik Brøndsted has for years been shooting portraits. He used film and loved the
texture, the grains.
Going digital he sometimes thinks that the curse of digital photography is sharpness.
Everything is sharp, everything is realistic. Henrik wants to add something more to the
realism, add some poetry.
Poetic realism . It has been used in french film and you might see a little bit of the same
tristesse in Henrik’s photos. He tries to achieve this poetry by adding grains, make time
visible with long exposure .

Natalia Bragina
Natalia Bragina was born in Leningrad, USSR (now Sankt Petersburg, Russia). She
graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in International Economics.
She also attended the art studios at Moscow State University and the Moscow House
of Scientists. After 1989 painting became her main professional occupation. Since
then she had no fewer than fifteen solo exhibitions. She exhibited in Sweden. Her
paintings were presented at art auctions in Paris. Yet her main connection is with an
individual collector, Russian or foreigner. She`s never had a permanent agent. She`s
never been tied to any kind of artistic organization, official or unofficial.

Marie Diane Bukowski
Marie Bukowski is an internationally recognized printmaker, included in public
collections and museums around the world. Throughout her career, she has had 128
exhibitions; 35 on the international level. She earned her BFA from Carnegie Mellon
University and her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania.
Her work forms a kind of diary throughout a specific period of time, difficult or
calm. They are “memoirs of disintegration”, but they are also a record of recovery
and reconstruction after disintegration. Her work is motivated by secret thoughts
and private experience, some trite and banal, some complex and glorious, but all of
it obsessively recorded. The secret things are the most difficult for the artist and the
viewer. Perhaps, for this reason, the investigation, is most rewarding.

Antonia Eleonora Cavaleri
Lives and works in Canicattì, Italy, her hometown.
In 2007, at Palazzo della Provincia di Brindisi with the patronage of the Puglia Region, during
the ceremony, for the contribution to art, she was appointed ambassador of art in the world
from the Knights Templar.
« Her painting is not immune to expressionistic «fragments», it proposes an aura of mystery
where space, light and color are blended in a masterly play of contrasts. The gestures and
the use of strong colors of materiality trodden give his work a force of clear expressive value
that results in an emotional language linked to the deepest spheres of the ego. The observer
is approaching the works of Cavaleri without fear and mistrust which creates the conditions
for a use that goes by the appreciation of the pleasures chromatic and formal to a more
thoughtful reflection.»

Allison Cheung
Allison Cheung (b. 1995) is a Chinese artist based in Chicago and Hong Kong. Her
interdisciplinary practice entails a variety of different mediums including painting, drawing,
printmaking, fibers and film.
Her ongoing series, Pillow Talk, consists of paintings and drawings portraying nude, headless,
non-gender-specific figures. Predominantly composed of shades of pastel, her work speaks of
vulnerability and comfort. Aware of the increasingly guarded nature people seem to possess,
her work aims to “take down the walls we have built as adults”, refusing for genuine, honest
intimacy to be lost in our determinant ways to protect ourselves.

Ivan Gohy
(1915-2005)
Ivan Gohy
Is an authentic naïve artist :
A Belgian, born in a modest family in a small village of Wallonia, he left school à 14,
became an industrial worker for some years, and later an itinerant dealer, selling linen
and clothes on marketplaces in small towns. He never received any artistic education or
training, and used then to spend his free time in physical exercise : bicycle since he was a
child, swimming even in winter (crossing the Meuse for Xmas), later long horse rides in
his beloved country.
He had been successful enough to ensure a peaceful retirement.
Having come to Paris in 1999, he visited the Louvre and various exhibitions, and felt the
impulse to paint. So he just started, and never ceased until his death in 2005.
He was a smiling man, never unkind to anybody, never taking himself too seriously, but
enjoying life at every moment. His paintings, all different, communicate his joie de vivre
and bring happiness to the beholder.

Cristina Gutierrez-Cruz
Having studied Art and Landscape Design in Louisiana State University (LSU); and at
the Paris American Academy in France and Universidad Autónoma de Centroamérica
UACA, in San Jose, Costa Rica, I am an architect and also an artist. I have participated in
15 group exhibitions and held 3 solo shows at Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paris, France and
U.S.A. My main exhibitions are IEAA Best of 2016 Art book; 7 Pintoras Latinoamericanas,
Museos de Casa Santo Domingo, Antigua Guatemala; Art Fusion Gallery, Miami U.S.A.
and Casa del Artista, San Jose, Costa Rica. Nature contains that part of the external
experience considered interpersonal or shared, and through my abstract painting
and drawing, I assume the task of exploring this region. The inside contains that part
of the inner experience that is impersonal but also archetypal shared by the collective
unconscious that is the route color and movement took in my world.

Elsie Kay Harris
Born and raised in Appalachia Elsie has always felt connected to the land:
mountains, rocks, creeks and hillside ridges. It is where she finds both joy and
serenity. She sketches those images that are attracted to her. Then she draws those
images on canvases and starts filling in with color. Color here determines the aura
of her first impression and the painting will change as she delves into the image and
the initial perception of the sketch. For Elsie it is a magical intimacy – a spiritual
consciousness – one with nature – that is the message in her work.

and immigrant in USA. Kim’s work is not only a delicate kind of poetry; she
works out patterned forming contemporary abstractions that call attention to the
historical legacy of Korean Longevity painting as a ground for the artist’s meticulous
presentation that interweaves classical and modernist stance, which suggests Kim’s
insights are current and universal because they derive from historical specificities.

Foundation (Philadelphia).

Bea Last
I am essentially a visual artist/painter, concerned with the process of relationship,
movement, memory, dialogue and energy. That may be the relationship to my canvases and
the dialogue therein or the environment around a piece of work and the conversation held
within that space. In theory, developing a canvas outside the box, that is the mainstream
gallery space. My canvases tend to be large scale with a very physical presence. I tend to
work on a series consecutively in order to create that necessary dialogue along with working
drawings and sketchbooks which are vital in order to keep me connected to my paintings,
and to keep a spontaneous, subconscious freedom to my mark making in order to drive my
practice forward.

Christina Nicodema
Christina Nicodema is a native New Yorker and self-taught painter. She graduated
from Parsons School of Design in 2009, and began painting in 2014. Nicodema’s work
probes the chaotic interiors of the female experience. Laced with autobiographical
components and animal symbolism, her work examines the ways in which we navigate
vulnerability. Through her process, she walks the line between the rawness and grace
of the human experience.

Thierry Noben
Photography has always been a hobby for Thierry Noben, either as a tool in the practice
of his profession as an architect or while traveling as a way to catch vacation memories.
But today, this passion takes a new direction, so that one may speak of «artistic»
photography.
Remy Donadieu said: «Photography embellishes misery by dressing light.»
For his part, with this first series of photographs, he would rather magnify the subject.
By photographing damaged, worn, cracked, rusted objects, he wants to get an emotion,
to bring out the beauty in these ever-present elements or on these surfaces, despite their
transformation due to weather and time.

Kazuo Ooka
Kazuo Ooka had no idea that he would become an artist when he first set foot in
the United States. He migrated to the U.S. as an engineer. His creative mind in the
mechanical field eventually brought him success. After he sold his business some
years later at the age of 50, he immediately immersed himself in oil painting. His
relentlessly inquisitive effort to better his work for two decades has finally enabled
him to express his vibrant voice onto the canvas and his soul into a 3-dimensional
figure. Kazuo succumbed to leukemia in June 2016.

Ron Ownbey
Ron started painting in his mid-teens on his family’s ranch in California. After military
service, he attended Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles earning his MFA degree, followed by
35 years of teaching art at Mt. San Antonio College in California. Ron’s art is influenced
by the serenity, chaos, complexity and vastness of the world and the universe and it’s
variety of life forms at all visual levels. Using biomorphic shapes, linear movements,
patterns and systems that he discovers in nature, he creates new compositions that reflect
the inner and outer functions, reactions and rhythms of things growing and changing.

Verena Otterbach
Born in Mexico City, 1967. Fifteen years ago she entered the art world under
the wing of Cuban master Carlos García de la Nuez. Since then, she has explored
painting as first artistic discipline complemented with photography.
Through a large format, the absence of color, everyday scenes and their relationship
with photography, her paintings endeavor to deliver a universal journey through
time and memories.
The artist works within a long tradition that takes the photographic image as a
method of apprehension and representation of reality; her work does not end up
trying to emulate (life) with photography, quite the contrary, her pieces become
a true pictorial representation, created for and from the “painting» itself, with
multiple shades inherited from the finest world of expressionism.

Judith Stone
Judith Stone’s drawings address the gritty subject of construction sites. Originally
directed at the urbanscape in transition, her recent focus has been the very machinery
of the construction process and the building materials themselves. She has loosened
her illusionistic graphite renderings with poured graphite washes, and added a second
photographic level, perceived through tinted, transparent Plexiglas “windows”. In
the newest pieces, we now also see large areas of a single color, as well as actual site
debris. In Stone’s mind, juxtaposing images of earth moving equipment with veiled
photographs of past experiences suggests the nature of memory.
Judith Stone holds a B.A. from Vassar College, an M.F.A. from the University of
Colorado, and an M.A.T. from Harvard University.

David W
Whitfield
The history of art travels at its own pace and cannot be forced, pushed or veered into a
false direction. I place myself and work (painting) within this broad European tradition,
the same while keeping an open mind to the influences from all cultures world wide.The
work is a visual interpretation of my personal journey through life and I hope a truthful
one (to myself), for without this I believe the falseness will show in the work. Any painting
worth its salt holds within it a concept beyond the obvious external visual components
of shape and colour, in due course it may turn out that the work may result in showing
some originality, almost in spite of itself without resort to gimmickry. It is in the process
and journey, particularly for the artist, which is most rewarding, and hopefully, will show
itself and be conveyed to the observer. The general aim is to produce a painting rather
than a picture, that stands complete within it’s own boundaries, without title, dependent
for it’s interpretation by and from the observer. The subject matter is the hidden world
of the human psyche, with all its conflicts and unconscious workings, too vast a subject to
place in a few words, but a subject to explore visually for a life time.

Elisabeth Wolf (lagqaffe)
Elisabeth Wolf (lagqaffe) is a self taught painter, graphic designer and illustrator
from Leipzig.
Interested in many techniques, it’s her favor to create and recreate.
She is influenced by strong feelings from a female point of view, which makes her art
very sensitive and emotional.
Her latest works are acryl paintings on canvas or wood and are the main part of her
exhibition „Studies from the internal monologue“.
To give her protagonists a deeper intensity of their feelings, Elisabeth decided to let
each of them interact with four arms in an every day situation, which does give them
a very own term.
