“Achieving a sense of “rightness,” even in the most uncertain circumstances, is the motivating concept behind my sculpture. The work is figurative but not about the figure. I consider myself an expressionist, as I am more interested in communicating an abstract feeling or idea than an actual image. I use recognizable forms to evoke emotions and stimulate sensations.”

Marta Carceller

Immersed In Fantastic Worlds

Acrylic on wood 100 x 100 cm

“My artwork, very far from any trend or fashion, is a testimony of my experiences and my deepest intimacy, and it explains part of my personal history. With the help of paint, brushes, spatulas, canvas, and wood as support I can capture and externalize all of this and transform it into an external to me object lasting over time.”

Marta Carceller, a prominent Catalan visual artist born in 1977, balances her creative life with her role as a mother of four. Operating from a quaint studio in her hometown of Sabadell, near Barcelona, Carceller’s journey in the arts is as vibrant as her heritage.

Initially embarking on an academic path in music, Carceller’s interests later pivoted towards Psychology, earning a Bachelor’s degree from Ramón Llull University. She further expanded her academic pursuits with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the same institution, and later, studies in Clinical Hypnosis at the University of Barcelona and Coaching at the University of La Coruña. This eclectic educational background has profoundly shaped her artistic lens, providing a rich tapestry of emotions to explore and depict in her work.

Despite being a self-taught painter, Carceller’s passion for art has been a lifelong affair. Over time, she has increasingly devoted herself to her art, finding both joy and fulfillment in this pursuit. The untimely demise of her husband marked a significant turn in her life, intensifying her commitment to art as a means of personal expression and healing. His enduring support continues to inspire her artistic endeavors.

The isolation brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic became an unexpected catalyst for Carceller’s art. With renewed motivation and the encouragement of her children and partner, Alex, she fully embraced her artistic career.

Today, Marta Carceller’s work is internationally recognized, celebrated in various Contemporary Art Awards, and featured across numerous global platforms. Her creations have adorned exhibitions, fairs, and galleries from Spain to France, the United States, Japan, and beyond, showcasing her unique ability to touch hearts and provoke thought through her art.

Dailey Entanglements

Watercolor on paper 30 x 22 in.

“My paintings are primarily oil and watercolor on paper. I paint figures that are linked through gesture, intention, and proximity and explore human bodies as archives of meaning, with a focus on body language as a signifier of desire, longing and absence. These works draw from the body and the environment interweaving figural representations with spatial disruptions created through the emotive, material and psychological use of color and shapes.”

The Child, The Horse and The Sky Fine Art Print 59.4 x 42 cm

In her exhibition ‘MESSENGERS’, Kathryn Bagwell’s work finely brushes humanity’s past using anthropomorphic lines that stretch into ancient and present day civilizations. By juxtaposing these outlines with hand painted geometric emblems, she creates a metaphor for shared human experience. She states, “the miracle of life is present in all things.”

River Landing

Acrylic on Panel 48 x 72 in.

“I create abstract compositional grounds using chromatically layered surfaces against which I juxtapose realistic renderings of birds. I build up layers of paint and then sand back to reveal the layers underneath creating depth and surface interest. I combine abstraction with bird imagery to symbolically represent ideas such as freedom versus structure while alluding to concepts like adaptability and transition.”

“Wood is my passion. I am fascinated by the shapes it can enable, its scent, its texture, and the comfort it provides. As a self-taught artist, I am drawn to the abstract. I particularly love working with curves and waves, as they imbue a soft and fluid sensation into my pieces. Preferring to work with my hands and minimal tools, I find inspiration in nature, often using reclaimed wood as my material of choice. It brings me great pleasure to breathe new life into pieces of wood that might otherwise be discarded.”

Escape the Underworld, 1966 Mixed Media on Paper 53 x 35 cm

Bob Bentley is an artist and filmmaker living in London. This multi-media artwork of the ‘underworld’ is one of a number created over time inspired by Greek mythology. It is a ‘stream of consciousness’ image with a figure escaping top left - hence the title! It is used as a background for a more recent work—see website.

BOB BENTLEY

“My artistic journey began amidst the vast landscapes of Ontario, Canada, where the grandeur of nature became my first canvas. Growing up in a family of artists, my childhood was intertwined with creative expressions and nature explorations, shaping my perception and artistic sensibilities. My connection with nature deepened in the wilderness of Northern Idaho, my chosen home, where the surrounding natural beauty continues to inspire me.”

ALISON BARROWS-YOUNG

View Over Selle Valley, Winter Oil on Canvas 30 x 24 in.

“As an artist, I feel a continuous urge to bring to life what I see, the experience. The process I use to create my works begin with a photograph, which becomes the central motif, but which ultimately is integrated into the overall painting. Through my art, I want people - no matter what their life experiences have been -- to be able to sense the unending possibility of rebirth, joy, and fulfillment.”

“I am an Italian/Swedish contemporary artist. My artistic journey begins with drawing and photography, culminating in abstract painting; the latter profoundly influenced by the Scandinavian artistic landscape and American Abstract Expressionism. My works resonate with an intimate exploration of myself, and reflection on human nature and actions. My technique weaves the impasto with unconventional materials such as sand, resulting in structured canvases, highlighted by chalk or oil pastels.”

Savage Cabbages

Acrylic 60 x 91 cm

“I often work with complementary color schemes, and the delicate light green and pink hues of the cabbages were the perfect inspiration for this piece. As an avid gardener, I was delighted when my neighbor gave us two tiny cabbage plants. Imagine our surprise as the seedlings just kept on growing, eventually taking over the herb garden.”

“Humanity is the most challenging and enjoyable subject in all its variables and characteristics. Painting the portraits of people I know is a loving celebration. The life force of people that shines through their eyes, coupled with the beauty and sensuousness of their forms, offers an endless supply of compelling and stimulating themes. I’m drawn into their being as I work to get a likeness and their essence.”

“Time” is always a theme that I aim to capture on canvas. It embodies a fleeting moment, yet also holds the essence of the infinite and eternal.”

“When I look at a human figure, I bring what is hidden in it to my consciousness, unite its world with what is hidden in me, and define the whole with line and color. When I engage in art, I feel that I am pouring a super-temporal meaning into passing events. I create in painting, sculpting, and writing, and use many techniques such as oil, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, etching, soft sculpture, and collage.”

I aim to foster a deeper understanding of the interconnection between nature, humanity, and our shared history by promoting environmental awareness and safeguarding botanical legacies.”

“Images exist for those who observe them. They are exhibited, go viral, and are displayed to establish identity. Yet, many others are stored away or discarded without the chance to transcend. I strive to rescue them and give them a second chance. I offer them the illusion of being reborn. I’ve developed my personal artistic exploration using collage as a technique. I’m highly observant, curious. The small things in everyday life, workers, ordinary people who go unnoticed, are inspiration for me.”

“Goderis’ drawings are marked by a dynamic, almost spontaneous quality, characterized by quick, rhythmic strokes that beckon the viewer to meander along the contours of the composition. This dynamic interplay between light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, lends his creations an unmistakable vitality, evoking the timeless influence of the Old Masters.” - Myrina Tunberg Georgiou, CFA Director

“Photographically, I believe there is a symbiotic relationship between the landscape and music, particularly my favorites of Classical and Jazz. In photographing the landscape, I find the elements of form and symmetry to be omnipresent, drawing a comparison between a symphony of the landscape and a musical score. My photographs represent not only how I envisioned a given scene but also my attempt to convey the emotions felt while I was viewing one symphony and simultaneously listening to another.”

“My photography is exclusively black and white because most people see in color, and black and white photography offers a different view of the world, allowing the viewer to notice elements of beauty often missed in the ordinary course of life. The high contrast of black and white photography forces the viewer to focus on the interplay of light and shadow, as well as textural detail.”

MICHAEL IAN GOULDING

“I exploit the precision of the medium to capture the subtleties of the female form and the allure that each person holds. What makes black and white photography so interesting and exciting is that just a line or the slightest shadow or gleam of light can significantly influence the piece.” www.gouldingphotography.com

“My paintings are inspired by nature/our environment. Creating paintings with strong, compositions colors and techniques that are artistically, important and inspirational is my goal.”

American artist, Daniel Grannan seamlessly merges his lifelong connection with art, nature, and the environment into powerful organic compositions. Born in Arizona in 1956, Grannan’s early years were marked by his family’s nomadic lifestyle across the western United States, during which he seized every opportunity to draw and paint. Encouraged by unwavering familial support, he evolved into a self-taught artist, specializing in creating detailed limited-edition prints of wildlife and bronze sculptures.

“Mathematics is God’s own self.”

“Born in 1956, I’m often described as a marine artist, but my passion for science runs just as deep. I’ve had the privilege of engaging with prominent scientists, particularly in physics and mathematics, both locally and internationally.

This intersection of art and science fuels my work, which I’ve coined “Art on Science.” My debut piece delves into the most abstract and perennial question humanity grapples with: the concept of God. Its backdrop comprises three layers: the ontological existence, the purpose of human existence, and our inevitable fate.

Scientifically, we understand the universe began with the laws of physics. Yet, the origin and nature of this vast natural order remain elusive. These laws, though not tangible, permeate every facet of existence—a testament to the omnipresence of mathematics. Whether you attribute it to God or another force, mathematics, the essence of these laws, stands as the universe’s creator—an incontrovertible truth.”

Acrylic on Canvas 128 x 214 cm

“My artistic pursuit lies in the realm of abstract realism, which I continue to push towards. I strive to capture the soul or essence of the subject, not just its physical form. Bold colors and loose brushstrokes become my tools, translating the energy and hidden narratives that lie beneath the surface. Each piece aspires to be an authentic exploration, inviting viewers on a personal journey to connect with the emotions and stories embedded within the textures and layers of paint.”

“My work is primarily an introspective expression, a product of my environment and the events that happen within it, past and present. Upon this framework, I attempt to build an emotional connection between myself, the painting, and the observer. Comfort and chaos, safety and strife, power and stillness. It’s this dichotomy that I find so compelling and challenging to capture. I almost exclusively use acrylic and latex paint as their generally quick drying time lends itself to fast-paced decisions.”

Using a full palette and painterly brushwork, I have explored various techniques, including the use of bubble wrap and rubber, to create diverse textures.”

“To get my designs for my ceramics, I like to just doodle lines or lie half asleep and let my imagination wander, and the pieces coalesce. I have no influences that I am aware of, so that makes my work a bit different. I don’t do round pots. I call them Ceramicons (Ceramic Constructions) because they are more sculptures than pots.”

“Painting abstractly connects me to an intuitive Emergent Source. A visual language of personal and archetypal images will appear, bridging my inner and outer world. I rely on my heart, body, and mind to guide this process. Applying rhythmic layers of color onto the canvas, I discern, make choices, and the painting mirrors back to me how to proceed.”

“I feel I am useless as an artist when I am happy. Pain is what creates my artwork. The painful experiences that people go through as they journey through life in the world around us from childhood to adulthood which in many ways is full of chaos and hardship are what sparks and motivates me to possess my objectives to make purposeful artwork that hopefully generates meaningful and fulfilling empathetic connections to people. As I observe and interpret the world around me combined with creating my artwork, I discover time and time again that true beauty lies within the darkness and that sometimes nightmares are the birthplace of some of the best ideas for an artist.”

“My work celebrates the human spirit. I create with the tactile expressiveness of clay sculpting. Each hand molding and layering is an interplay between thoughts and emotions. Intimate details and gestures evoke a real or imaginary world.”

“My artwork is very much inspired by visual storytelling. The thing I love most is capturing my subject’s likeness through vitalizing details, both on the surface of the artwork and in the narrative behind it. A Mixed Media approach combines the freedom of laying bold washes with the tight control of drawing. As the piece is built up in many thin layers, I can carefully explore all the details. Quilting these details together as a visual story is where I find my greatest artistic passion.”

AMBRO LOUWE

“In my photography, I aim to communicate my vivid and impressive observations, often bottled up for months. Whether capturing a facial expression or an evocative scenery, some moments defy description. By slightly altering, exaggerating, or choosing an unusual point of view, I seek to create shared attention with the viewer. I predominantly work in black and white, as it enhances focus and lends a timeless quality to the observation.”

Lindsey’s artworks draw inspiration from an array of sources, most notably the captivating landscapes of Canada and the vibrant interplay of color and texture, as well as light and shadow, that surround her.

Layers

Mixed Media sculpture/installation

“The sculpture “Layers” consists of eight towers in a four-part set, containing 312 repeated single forms, echoing the form of the lead glass panels of the Royal Society of Sculptors Dora House. It is an expression of simple geometry, featuring rectangle and trapezoid cut-out panels. In Layers, I use plywood, black dye, and plastic fibers. The edges of the horizontal layers resemble a black line drawing, referencing the lead glass panels. Looking between the layers, you find a constantly changing scenery.”

“The narrative nature of my art can be described as offering suggestions of associations for storytelling. Starting with inspiration, using the skill necessary to reveal the interpretation (subjective as it maybe) is a process of discovery that hopefully reflects integrity in my artistic vision.”

“Shiny, colorful pills, like tempting candies, promise happiness. But I don’t enjoy life. I lack energy. I am unhappy, and I can’t paint. A doctor prescribed vitamins to restore my mental health...” How can we find happiness? What does happiness mean? The line between mental health and illness is very subtle. People seek happiness and harmony in medicines, consumerism, adrenaline entertainment, business, etc. Does this path lead to happiness, harmony, mental well-being?

Mixed Media on Stretched Canvas 4 x 5 ft

Mackenzie Perras delves into the intricacies of materiality in their practice, crafting paints from a rich array of historical and symbolic media. His sedimentary approach immerses viewers in dense, layered relics; each telling their own story. This piece, part of the ongoing series TALES FROM THE ANTHROPOCENE, uses crushed glass and upcycled Champagne bottles, aluminum, mica, fake pearls, glass baubles and more to mirror the frenetic energy of Late Capitalism’s consumption culture in a confetti pop of excess.

Kaleidoscope, 2024 Bronze

“The Human Kaleidoscope, resembling a distant wheel, reveals intricate mirrored figures best observed up close with all their details and patterns. Much like life’s wheel, individuals are nestled within structures of time and space, each with unique roles and intentions. Yet, zooming out, humanity’s collective patterns emerge, akin to the regularity of wheel spokes.”

“Watching the slow, swirling magnificence of the feathery fins and shining scales of an Angel Fish has always mesmerized me. I wove the panels with twisting and curving Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick to simulate the rays of sunlight and the fins of angelfish. It is woven with hand-dyed yellow, red, and orange reeds.”

“Painting serves as a spiritual discipline for me—an exploration of self-awareness and the synthesis of inner vision with physical reality. I draw inspiration from teachings that bridge spirituality and science, embracing both active and receptive forces. My rational soul seeks meaning in the evanescent beauty of radiant hues, structures, forms, and mathematical order. I find fascination in the light of suns, invisible gravity, black holes, and the cosmic expanse, as well as the delicate leaves of our Earth. These elements are the wellspring of my art”

“I’m a full-time Irish artist (formerly an architect) with a passion for nonduality. My practice combines commissioned and personal work, using suitable media for each distinct piece—be it drawing, music, video, woodcarving, painting, digital, or even my own blood (requested for a poetry/art collaboration). I combine various styles and sources, aiming to create thoughtprovoking work. My creative process allows each piece to evolve naturally through creative flow.”

“I work within a sort of literary/philosophical framework, so my reference points are the parables of Kafka and the aphorisms of Kierkegaard. Because elements determine content, the process of creation is both constrained and liberated by the available elements at any given time. It is the improvised procedure of choice, assembly, and judgment that settles the argument.”

“My art is a visual expression of facets of my life, whether it’s my surroundings, places I’ve traveled, or people I’ve met. I choose a subject because the composition, lighting, or play of textures inspires me. However, I also search for elements that will challenge me and allow me to play with my style of fracturing and extending lines to create a sense of movement. Once a sketch is put to canvas, I enter a world of ever-changing color blends. I invite you to enter this world of joy with me.”

“My work is about rendering visible inner processes and the inherent energy present in all forms of life. Nature serves as a master example of overcoming, adapting, resisting, and reforming itself in response to changing environmental conditions. This elemental force captivates me, and the beauty it embodies—whether in intricate details or in grand displays of size and power—serves as the driving force behind my artistic endeavors.”

“My paintings have primarily focused on experimenting with and manipulating materials as a subject matter. Recently, I’ve been reworking these canvases by sanding them down and exploring the arbitrary marks revealed. I’ve aimed to limit what is added to the canvas thereafter. A visual vocabulary has emerged from images etched in my mind: photographs and drawings depicting everyday life—cracks in surfaces, shadows on walls, and traces of the passing of time.”

“I have long admired still lifes by Dutch artists of the 17th ce. Painted in a style as realistic as photographs, they provide a detailed view of Dutch culture. Today, I create still lifes in the Dutch style, as realistic as paintings, with my camera. While I never copy a painting, my visual vocabulary and approach to composition and lighting pay homage to the Dutch Golden Age. My work aims to capture the spirit of 17th ce. Dutch art and, through them, reflect on our own culture.”

“My work is philosophically based, and my interest in biology and cosmology informs the subject matter. I create paintings of microscopic nature hidden from the naked eye: the layered interconnectivity that could represent the origins of life in a drop of water to systems in the vast cosmos. These micro/macro images, which are impossible to witness without the use of a microscope or telescope, are the vortex upon which all life depends.”

BETSY STEWART

“My intention is to extol the mystery and majesty of nature through a collaborative process with paint itself: with no preconception, I contribute the space, color choices, and the materials and forces for the paint to interact with. The paint cooperates by becoming a distinct organic pattern or landscape that is always a surprise and something I could not have imagined. With this technique, the images are ‘real’ in the truest sense and beautiful but not necessarily familiar.”

Heart of the Rainforest Acrylic on Wood Panel 24 x 24 in.

“Using the camera as a resource, I initially painted landscapes, including scenes from various North East parks, and later, works from my travels. With a desire to evoke a sense of place, I focused on the accidents of nature’s design, using strong compositional elements as a groundwork for my paintings. The resulting landscapes have a clarity and luminous quality that freezes time and place, allowing the viewer to escape, if only for a moment, to the tranquil world I have created.”

“I once had the opportunity to spend an afternoon in a car with a man I very much admired - a personal mentor. While we were both looking out the same window, it became obvious that while I was observing the creation, he was observing the Creator. Over the years, my vision has expanded, and when I take the time to really observe the world around me, I too can see both the extraordinary nature of creation and the unmistakable fingerprints of the Creator.”

Having lived in many countries around the world, I have had many important solo exhibitions there. By looking at the world from different angles, I have collected a wealth of images and imaginations. I am delighted to share these with everyone through my paintings. I also do commissioned portraits. Here you see my mother’s portrait on iPad.”

“Doing art, for me, is a mystical process, a spiritual work, and an exercise of creativity. When I paint it is as if the veil of the common life is momentarily lifted allowing me to be embraced by the underlying essence of the universe. I consider my artistic expression a gift to be shared.”

“My first love is painting birds. I find it calming to hear them call and sing, going about the daily business of being a bird. I work from my own reference photos, but there is absolutely no substitute for time spent observing my subjects, absorbing the atmosphere on multiple levels. Depicting the habitat in which my subjects are found is a source of great joy for me, and observing them thriving in the wild gives me a tremendous sense of peace. It is my hope to share this with you in my art.”

“My mind has always been a refuge from reality - facing being LGBT, loss, invisibility. The art that I create is a window into my mind - and how I use my creatures to sort through life’s lessons in a way that allows me to safely explain them to others - and to ideally bring some joy and happiness along the way. My hope is that by sharing my story, I can help another person realize a life lesson with that same sense of safety.”
