I, Thomas Riesner, am an outsider art artist based in Leipzig. The painting I have acquired myself. In 1990 I began to deal intensively with painting.Mostly I paint in the Durchblick eV Leipzig, here there is also a gallery and a museum. The association uses a logo based on one of my etchigs. It shows two eyes and a bird. Often I also paint at home in a small studio. My ideas come mostly spontaneously from the subconscious, just like that, often when I listen to music. In social media, for example, facebook and instagram, I am actice. That´s also how I got to outsider art magazine. There I was published in issue 4.

Statement by the artist

As an outsider artist I don’t go into creating my paintings with an intention or direction, I let the artwork create itself. I consider myself an expressionist and create both figurative and nonfigurative artwork .

I have always been an artist but didn’t get serious with my art until 2012, In 2013 I had my first group exhibition art show at 100 market gallery in Portsmouth N.H and won the award for honorable mention.

Since then, I have been in group art shows in New Jersey and twice in California.

I work in many different mediums and enjoy both painting and drawing.

Bio:

Marcela is a self-taught intuitive artist born in Sydney, Australia. She is currently based in Hong Kong.

Her earliest creative explorations were in dance, drama, singing and visual arts. In childhood and adolescence, she found an escape in art and a place where she could express herself without words.

After high school, she completed a Law Degree at the University of Technology Sydney, which saw her work in various jobs from legal to publishing related jobs.

She felt herself pulled back into the arts during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The turmoil brought about by the pandemic, led her to connect more deeply artistically and spiritually. Creating art felt therapeutic and her art quickly became deeply connected to her spiritual practice.

Marcela’s work is based on intuition, mindfulness and vibrational energies. Her works revolve around exploring the realms of the unknown and altered states of consciousness. Rainbows are often found in her works, as a symbol of the rainbow bridge.

Through predominately ink, watercolour and hand drawn digital art, her works represent her way of translating the unseen energies she experiences into something more tangible for others to see.

She hopes her art sparks discussions about other-worldly topics that transcend current human understanding.

Artist Statement:

I try to capture the invisible and make it visible.

My work is based on intuition, mindfulness and vibrational energies.

My artworks are often created subconsciously from a prayerful meditative place, only once they are finished do I come to understand what they are expressing.

In part through automatic drawing and also through accessing my intuition, I challenge others to see beyond current human understanding by diagramming elements of the immaterial world and exploring altered states of consciousness. To have people look past the 5 senses, that is my goal and inspiration.

In Binna Kim’s artwork, she aims to present a stimulating mixture of nature and a view from her vivid imagination.

Whether in colorful abstract works or visual interpretation of nature, the works demonstrate keen attention to the smallest detail in order to emphasize the depth of expression and emotive beauty of nature. This combination helps bring the audience to a different world, a stage for viewing scenery in an emotionally evocative way. While viewing the works, the artist’s visual expression and interpretation by the audience merge and go hand in hand to evoke a memory, a passion, or a feeling unique to each of us.

Emotions-19 Series focuses on positive emotions that we might have forgotten for a while due to Covid-19 pandemic, such as love, joy, comfort and gratitude.

Binna Kim is a self-taught artist with a few different yet special career backgrounds. She is based in New York as an artist, floral designer and window display designer. Binna’s childhood was spent on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, against the backdrop of mountains and ocean that first inspired her art. Natural forms have remained a central theme in her work, and as her art career flourished she developed an interest in floral design and plant-based installations. Binna’s arrangements have graced vitrines at flagship locations of Beretta, Madison Avenue Gallery and Oxxford Clothes, and at renowned boutiques across New York City.
