KASIA DERWINSKA Photography is my way of communicating with the world. In my work, I talk about own experiences, thoughts, doubts, fears and hopes trying to reflect my own life’s path.In addition to my experiences, my creations are inspired by night dreams as since childhood I remember most of them and I believe that dreams are the most symbolic language of our subconscious, a guide to navigate in the modern world.I am autodidactic and I don’t recognize myself as a photographer. I use photography as a tool, like a brush for painting or any instrument to play music. My work is an attempt to connect substantiality of the world that surrounds us with elusiveness of feelings and thoughts. For that reason I describe my creations as building a bridge between the visible and the invisible.

JOHN VAN ALSTINE Stone and metal, usually granite or slate and found object steel are central in my sculpture. The interaction of these materials is a major focus. On the most basic level the work is about the marriage of the natural with the human-made. Stone is used as an assemblage element, the way a welder uses steel, rather than in the traditional manner of subtraction. In contrast to the timelessness of stone, the found-object metal (sometimes cast bronze) is time-specific - 20th century industrial. The industrial / structural characteristics inherent in the metal are often employed to physically connect or suspend stone elements allowing a “choreographing” or “floating” of stone. At their best, a compelling visual / physical irony is created. The works strives to communicate on a number of different levels; physical, symbolic, metaphorical. The duality of an eastern or oriental acceptance of stone and a 20th century industrial American “can do” attitude toward metal is central to the work and an important characteristic that distinguishes it.

Christie was also drawn to the Island of Assateague, VA/ MD where she found herself wrapped up in the dynamic energy of the pristine shores of the eastern coast and the wild spirits of the ponies of Chincoteague.
Photographer and painter Caroline Christie captured images of these wild horses during several journeys to Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains, Pilot Butte WY , The Pryor Mountains in Montana, The High Deserts of Nevada and The Sand Wash Basin in Northwest Colorado. There, Christie found herself drawn to the ballet-like interplay between these horses, especially pairs of them, who maneuvered around each other like tango

In his early works, Kargar focused primarily on early classical art, looking all the way back Hellenistic Greece. But in the last decade, he has focused on reproducing mass media images of contemporary advertising through painting. His inspiration comes from glossy magazines, television and the Internet. The artistic exploration of “advanced” civilizations is central to his work. No matter which era inspires Kargar, he depicts the human figure as shaped by its time. “I’m not looking
on large canvases. He uses motifs with which we are all familiar, pulls them out of their contexts and puts them into new ones. This creates a sensation of irritation. The viewer can hardly resist the attraction of his hyperrealistic work, painted with elaborate technique in numerous layers. With the combination of digital and classic art, Kargar’s paintings mark the span of painting from the originated emotional base into the inevitable digital age.
