Adalbert J. M. Schieferer
Atmospheric impressions, with a close attention to light and shadow, are the
main focus in Adalbert Schieferer’s paintings.
He gets in touch with his motifs by taking notes, sketching and analyzing.
This way, he explores the contrasts and tensions of his themes, which in turn are
captured as a spirited spectacle.
When using watercolours, the process involves taking risks and balancing the
picture, until it ends up where it is supposed to be.
Knowing the effects of his techniques, Schieferer temporarily grants his paintbrush a mind of its own
and allows it to find its way, splashing, spraying, exploding – flying away.

Amarnath Viswanath
Amarnath Viswanath is a German resident, born in India. After
graduating with B.Sc. degree in Chemistry, Amarnath started his
ceramic career working as a trainee in a ceramic insulator company
in Germany. In 1968 he completed his studies at the Ceramic College in
Germany with a degree in Ceramic Engineering. The ability to create
an unforgettable impression of a natural landscape by experimenting
with color mix, is a present a painter can give to his viewers. Although
all landscapes are there, the paintings promote viewers to develop their
own imagination and thoughts. Most of Amarnath’s paintings are blue
acrylic which is compensated with bright color mixes and the aim is to
bring back some unforgettable memories offered to us by nature.

Aliza Thomas
Aliza’s imaging philosophy combines her training as an artist and
as a Taiji Quan practitioner. Her long-standing interests in the
Taoist philosophy combined with the papermaking knowledge
create a penetrating art form. She strives to capture the subtle
interconnected web of Qi (energy) that makes up what we call
world.
The water and the fibers (the papermaking process) seem to be an
almost mystical process, where the veils of illusionary fragmentation
are momentarily lifted and the underlying immaterial essence of
the universe is revealed.
All objects are fundamentally impermanent and essentially arbitrary
partitions of a continuous un-fragmented whole.

Amy Lee
Amy Lee graduated from Seoul National University, majoring in fine arts and
she received her MFA degree at New York University. She acted as an art
director at SOHO Art Center and taught at Koungki University in Korea. In
more than twenty art exhibitions, including one solo show last year, Amy Lee has
depicted images from a journey of everyday to ordinary objects and scenes. The
elements of her work are in a sense modulated by the echo and the vibration
or “voices” from the universal lyre. It can be whimsy, unpredictable, ambiguous
and yet fluid like watercolor. She embarks on a gestural journey; this journey is a depiction of an
infinite, boundless tale. Her methodology is one of finding the language of life in the phenomenon.

Ana Perelló
The artist Ana Perelló, born in Mallorca, Spain, where she currently
resides, started painting at the age of 17, going to oil painting classes
with a local teacher, showing a natural ease with drawing and painting
from the beginning. She spent years studying at the academy where she
made her first collective exhibition.
However, it was not until the year 2016 that her interest in painting was
rekindled when she discovered the Pastel technique and was able to
release all her creativity and expression, since then she has made several exhibitions in Spain.

Anneli Särnblad Pederson was born and raised in Orsa, Dalarna. Now she lives
in the municipality of Lidköping with her husband Robert and their dog Olivia.
“Through my pictures, I want to give people a break in their lives, the
opportunity to fantasize and to gather power and strength. “Growing like
a human being is to dare to see oneself as you are. Learning to love yourself
with mistakes and flaws. To also look beautiful and nice and allow yourself to
feel good. You are unique! Listen to your heart and you will feel the power. “

Chi-Chang Hsieh
In Chi-Chang Hsieh’s work, the visual energy which combined with Eastern
Asia’s calligraphy and the inspiration which he got when he was studying
abroad in Spain is well-demonstrated with passion. This creates a unique
and elegant abstract that executes his artistic expression. His unique
calligraphic painting style is well-demonstrated in various works; each of
them shows a strong signature that represents freedom. A freedom that
demolishes the boundary between traditional and modern art, and brings
harmony that intertwines with the organic beauty and charisma. In addition, his painting style is
commonly known as a strong influence that brings the audiences into the realm of peace.

Cecilia Jang
“Character into style” is the key words of my abstract art world. The
true nature of abstract expressionism, I believe, should be something of a
character which shows the artist’s undisturbed artistic inside but it at least
had better be aesthetically prepared with composition, color juxtaposition
and many others which are called style. I always try to evoke my
spontaneity and thoughts at the moment but hope it to be aesthetically
beautiful as well.

Ela Reitinger
“You can feel the bite of the predator” so Hermann Nitsch about Ela
Reitinger’s art.
Over ten years ago, Ela Reitinger took a chance to enter the life of an
artist. She now lives mainly in Italy and partly in Austria.
The artist’s splendid color way provides the beholder with freedom for
own interpretations. Ela’s so-called energy-paintings are
formed by emotions and movement and mostly acrylic.
Strong, intense and intuitive, the paintings often give
an impression of coincidence though they are linked to
thoughts and ideas.
Since 2002, Ela Reitinger exhibited among others in
Austria, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic and Dubai.

Jacek Juriewicz
Jacek Juriewicz was born in 1966 in Szczecinek. (West Pomeranian
Voivodeship). The interest in art, in particular painting and drawing, has
already been revealed in adolescence. In the mid-1980s, he devoted himself
to painting. He took private lessons of painting and drawing with Andrzej
Berezianski, Ewa Jedrzejewska-Drygas and Wiesław Adamski. The paintings
that were created in the second half of the eighties are characterized
by catastrophism, which was a consequence of the fascination with the
paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, Salvador Dali and Zdzisław Beksinski. This
period lasted for about 10 years and was crowned with many exhibitions at home and abroad. Later
in the works of Jacek Juriewicz, realistic tendencies appear - landscapes and architecture of family. In
the new century, Jacek Juriewicz changes his interests. There is an interest in a human figure, above
all an act and a portrait as well as nature. The artist’s work is characterized by high aesthetics and
expression that manifests itself in the combination of bright, colorful spots, which makes the images
(mainly portraits, nature) look like dream visions or pictures painted from the imagination, not from
nature. Jacek Juriewicz has repeatedly exhibited his paintings at group and individual exhibitions in
Poland (eg in Koszalin, Szczecinek, Luboradza) and abroad in Germany (Uelzen, Frankfurt a.Main,
Dortmund, Kamen, Bad Bevensen, Akwisgran, Herzogenrath) in Netherlands (Venlo) England
(London) Spain (Barcelona) Italy (Art Gallery Milano) His works are known in the Galleries in the
USA, the Netherlands, Germany and in many other countries.

Graham Laffling
Graham Laffling’s ‘home village’ of Ufford is situated in the Suffolk countryside close
to the dramatic, ever changing English coastline. After storms he collects wood and
metal flotsam left stranded on local beaches. Transformed by wave action and marine
organisms these offer unique textures and color variations. A lifetime’s fascination
with nature’s flora and fauna, combined with skills derived from years spent restoring
antiques, enables Graham to imagine and then construct artworks. Whether they be
humorous or dark and disturbing they remain animated and eye-catching. Graham’s
work has never been exhibited or offered for sale by gallery owners.

Keita Tamura
When explaining about his photograph, its deep influence from his
space perception as an architect cannot be ignored. An architecture has
its substance in its emptiness surrounded by floor, wall and roof, not the
material of architecture itself. He focuses on emptiness in his photographs.
This series “YAMI/HIKARI (Darkness/Light)” is an attempt to scoop out the
light and darkness existing in emptiness, just like scooping insects by butterfly
net as if he has done in his childhood. The stiff material that blocks his view
is not what he treats. The emptiness between him and the material is the
main shooting target, with particle of darkness and light being intensely collected by camera lens.
His aesthetic sense of minimalism, somewhat uniquely Japanese, can also be observed in his another
series “HAN-GAN (Half-opened Eyes)”. Focusing on atmosphere surrounding an object, “HAN-
GAN” has taken its concept from a Buddhist terminology and photographs are catching the fusion
between space and the photographer himself. Photograph is self-taught. On the other hand, his
professional architectural works include “Hakodate TSUTAYA Books”, “Narita Airport ANA Lounge,
Suite Lounge”, “Urayasu-city Crematorium”.

Jinny Suh
Jinny Suh uses the image of nature and focuses on chickens as the principal
theme of her work. She uses Hanji as the main material and the rest of her
objects are also made from paper. She does not undermine the original visual
beauty of the object, but uses the form itself to reveal its essential meaning and
value. Her aspiration is an ambitious desire to show the excellence of Hanji to
the world with paper art, she has secured many collectors’ floors from all over
the world. She graduated from Sun Hwa Art School and majored in sculpture at
Ewha Womans University. She is a third-generation expressionist and studied in
London, England, to pursue Art education. She then engaged in a wide range of
works in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
This year (2018) she set up an art company in Los Angeles named J & J Art Incorporated. She has
also been selected as an Artrooms artist in England. Jinny Suh takes part in world art fairs, New York
exhibitions and personal shows in Croatia.

Kim Kyoungok
Artist Kim Kyoungok received The Grand Prize at Seoul Insa Art Exhibition in
2015, as well as special awards at Moran Modern Art Exhibition. She graduated
from Korea University, majoring in history, and she also studied at Hongik
Graduate School of Fine Art. She has participated in 12 exhibitions, including
one solo show in Seoul.
She tries to express the creation of vacuum and to fill in the blank space of life
in the 1920’s. Vacuum emerges from the cracks of the established order and of
fixed ideas. It is nothing other than the absence of the social order and the break from common sense
on which people have been depending. She depicts all these forms of contradiction and irrationality
through various geometrical patterns.

Josée van Schuppen
Josée van Schuppen creates expressive landscapes of the soul, Soulscapes. She
unravels the mystery of life, always inspired by music. For her painting is a
journey, a quest, exploring colours, materials and techniques. She loves contrasts
and often uses natural materials like sand, rope and wood she finds at the
beach. She is a true colorist: Every colour tells its own story. Josée follows her
impulses and works in a dialogue with her canvas. Her inspirations are: Water,
Fire, Air and Earth. Her main themes are Freedom, Flow and Connection. She

Judith Stone
For three decades, Judith Stone has addressed the gritty data of urban construction
and its complement, demolition, through her graphite drawings. Initially focused
on the built landscape in transition, in recent years she has trained the light on the
earth moving equipment itself; shovels, backhoes, cranes, booms, hooks. While
Stone’s renderings do suggest an inherently dynamic process, the photographs
that inform the drawings are taken after-hours, when the workmen have left
the site for the day, and the machines are at rest. Stone finds mesmerizing the
atmosphere of temporarily stilled power, of latency, in those quiet moments. A second innovative shift in
Stone’s recent oeuvre is the direct inclusion of photographs shot during her extensive global travels. The
strategic insertion of camera images, most commonly perceived through tinted, transparent Plexiglas
“windows”, represents a commingling of Stone’s external and internal explorations, the former in photos
of historically resonant sights in the American West, Great Britain, and Japan, the latter in photos of
ancient stone structures in Jerusalem’s Old City. In Stone’s mind, the integration of these vigorous graphite
renderings with partially veiled, but equally potent photographs alludes to the nature of memory itself, as
one looks at once outward, at routine, daily experience, and inward, at one’s personal or communal past.
With a B.A. from Vassar College, an M.F.A. from the University of Colorado, and an M.A.T. from Harvard
University, Stone is an art historian, as well as an artist. “Easel to Edifice”, a book-length, comparative
study of Art Nouveau masters Henry van de Velde and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, will be published by
Common Ground Research Networks in autumn, 2019.

Kim Seong Yi
Artist Kim Seong Yi wants to include oriental thought in her paintings. Margins are
an important feature in oriental painting and her work expresses this well. Her
works have been exhibited throughout the world, including Antwerp, Belgium,
Paris in France, Beijing in China, Hong Kong, and Dubai. A freelance journalist
did not hesitate to claim that hers was the best work of in that exhibition.

Kim Meehyang
Throughout her artistic career, including five solo shows and many group
exhibitions, Kim Meehyang has always concentrated on translating the true
meaning of her memories on canvas, which means nothing other than the very
essence of her life itself. She keeps dismantling and reconstituting her memories,
thereby making an abstract approach of her art world. Her respiration is
percolated into her palettes and her brushstrokes symbolize both her psychology
and her philosophy. Memories, dim or vivid, have a definite influence on human
thoughts and behavior, these are the endless themes on her canvas.

teachers. She is not a past and copy as many artists inspire themselves from
others, as all what she’s painting is coming out from the depths of her inner soul.
Some of her paintings she is painting as of her deep dreaming visions and the
others, from her inner unique fillings. In the most of her paintings are present
the vitality and the beauty of the nature: of forests, of the fields, sky and her
love for the people without any difference between religion, race or gender is
an essential component of what she’s choose by her feelings for to express in her
paintings. This is a spontaneous technic painting “a-la-prima”, an Impressionistic, Naïve, New Age and
Fashion Art. All her artworks are original oil paintings.

extinction, we are all reduced into materials. Her new artwork “Her Story”

Patricia Olguin
Since the very beginning of Patricia Olguin’s career, her work has incorporated
not only sculpture, but a range of visual and plastic media: murals, drawings,
jewelry, and functional art. Among all of these expressions, there is a shared
intention, a common thread that unites them. A looseness of form, a mixing of
materials, and a bold, confident endeavor to achieve her own contemporary
vision. Indeed, my oeuvre can be summed up in one word: freedom. She
constantly seek to contrast images and/or forms—personal and provocative in
their composition—from her own perspective. Striving to offer an honest, fresh
take on pre-established concepts with absolute freedom, she creates pieces in
which the figurative and the abstract come together in a language that is sometimes electrifying,
sometimes sensual.
The intention behind these works is to captivate and questions using recognizable or real elements to
help lead the spectator to discover new horizons.

Sara Vattano
Sara Vattano (1990) Agrigento. She attends the Faculty of Architecture
at the University of Palermo. She creates digital collages, conceived as a
means of expression. Through her passions, reading books, watching films of
the 1930s in B&W - a heritage of her childhood -, her interest in art and the
study of architecture, she deals with the composition of oneiric visions, which
is a projection of her soul. Seeing herself as a constant metaphor, linked to
Pirandello’s concept of the “mask”, she expresses her emotions through images
in a dynamic way. In a constant search for the self, she continues to ride bicycles
of the 1930s. I/IMAGE/TIME is an ongoing work-in-progress.

aesthetic efforts.

Insa Art Solo Exhibition, one of the most prestigious galleries in Korea, with
more than 20 global group exhibitions in Europe and in Asia. She worked as a
professional jewelry designer and taught design and art at university.
With the same material, she tries to paint on the metal surface of coldness which
has characteristics of its own. Worn-out and broken down are the intrinsic colors
of time-honoredness. She hopes the mossy wall of an old castle she created will
move audiences’ minds and make the world more artistic.

Vasile Grama
Vasile Grama, born 1957 in Republic of Moldova, lives and works in Chisinau, the
capital of R. Moldova. In 1976 has been graduated at Republican College of Fine
Arts, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. In 1986 has been graduated at Faculty of
Applied Arts of the Institute of Textile, Moscow, Russia. Since 1988 he is working
at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design of the «Ion Creanga» State Pedagogical
University. He is a member of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Moldova
as also a lecturer at the Department of Decorative Arts of the «Ion Creanga»
State Pedagogical University.
«In an agitated epoch, marked by uncertainties, Vasile Grama dedicates himself to the hard work and
pouring Ц his soul-calmness, pronounces himself in his works for a certain rigor and clarity of composition.
He has a refined symphony of accords between tones and shades and thus confirms the descendancy
of his tapestries from the tradition of the old bark and the medieval Moldovan embroidery. »

Ryu Young Shin
One of the truly magnificent insights in Ryu Young Shin’s new
group of paintings is the clarity of her approach as a painter
in which her sense of poetic form echoes the dark shades of the
forest glade. Here I am struck by the fact she is using traditional
mulberry paper mounted on canvas as the surface support on
which she paints with oil, a medium she studied several years
ago. To clarity my point: The artist is painting the bark of the tree on paper that is made from that
bark. Therefore, the painted surface on mulberry bark paper is formally consistent with the artist’s
reminiscence of the tree that she is in the act of painting. Memory and reality become one.

Woon H Choi
Woon H Choi graduated from Chicago Art Institute and Yale graduate school
of arts. She finished the doctoral certificate program at Hongik graduate school
in Korea. She held 9 solo shows including one hosted at Keumho Art Museum,
one of the premier art galleries in Seoul.
The author creates her works under the theme “Trust me.” The main issue she
deals with in the field of art is “I don’t believe.” Her works wander around truth,
lies, the ‘Stolen’ and the ‘Influenced’, producing a sense of humor. There are a number of series under
the theme “Trust me”: ‘Liar Liar’ is a series of textual works on lying and being cross, ‘Vaginoplasty’ and
‘Horny Snowmen’ are sexually humorous interpretations of the main theme. There are also ‘Brainless’,
‘Stolen’ and ‘Pseudo’ series with which she works to create her theme in varying styles and contents. In
‘Stolen’, she steals images from her favorite artists and restructures and wraps them with the concept
‘Stolen’.
