A Mexican painter who has managed to put in purely abstract work a very unique through the creation of particular colors that give great strength and impact to your work touch.
The author seeks to bring a point beyond abstract art by combining this technique with a job in high relief of pre-Hispanic culture, which he turned in its theme transforms in concept and reinforced with a new set of colors that the artist creates otherwise to highlight the meaning of each icon used in his work.

After presenting several important and renowned places worldwide including Mexico, the U.S, Netherlands, Spain, England, Austria, Belgium, France (Louvre Museum in Paris), Italy (Palazzo della Cancelleria di Roma, Palazzo della Cancelleria Vaticana, Museo Villa Pisani di Venice) Denmark, Sweden, South Korea, Bangkok, Thailand.
No doubt his work hits again, because it not only offers the viewer the quality of an abstract work but takes the enigmatic world of pre-Columbian art . A job as its author calls it, ” a recreation of the Hispanic culture with a modern language.”
So Xavier Yarto contributes to art works full of color, strength and content. An artist who searches every new best to previous work.

Since I was a kid I kept myself busy carving sticks into mini-sculptures, doodling during class, and drawing figures on the sidewalk with chalk. Having never received any formal art training, I have managed to teach myself the basics of painting and wood sculpture.
I have exhibited in a number of Galleries that include SITE Gallery, 440 Gallery, and Van Der Plas Gallery in New York City, Galleria Pall Mall in London, and Chie Gallery in Milan Italy. I was one of 20 finalists in 2019 as part of the “Art Takes Manhattan Competition.” My goal is to make the world a happier place through art.

Congrats to all the Artists who made it into issue four and thank you to everyone who submitted art for consideration. We had a name change, but we still have the same great art.
Check back in about a week or so for a new call for art.
Veronique Ivanović, K75 is a citizen of the world who started creating art at a young age. She was born and lived in Paris/France, London/Great Britain, then moved the United States.
She has been a professor/interpreter and volunteer of French language in New York City, and Atlanta, where she resides. Discovering and taking a deep appreciation for the surrealist movement, Veronique Ivanović K75 abstract art is inspired by geometric structures with experimentation of both subtle and bold integration of lines and colors.
Veronique Ivanović K75 has been working on found and recycled materials for a long time, favoring acrylics paint and collage.
For her, giving discarded things a second chance will help ameliorate the sustainability issues humanity has bequeathed itself. And, also allowing these otherwise discarded things another likelihood.
I was told by professional artists and, gallery owners that an artist should not be all over the place with her/his body of work, because she/he looses her/his audience.
It is very difficult for me to do just that, as I have a Ying/Yang personality type.
Because of difficult times in my life picking up a pencil, a brush, and my camera helped me translate feelings and emotions; captured things that I see and, one might not see, or be trying not to see!
I create, take pictures of what my instant awareness dictates me at that very moment, an intricate, mix of geometrical forms and unusual colors, a bug resting on a person, a graffiti in an abandoned building, or a person lost in her/his thought. This sometimes, drives me to work in series.
I am always fascinated by the dichotomy of the world! Hazy heat and reflections; lights being jealous of the shadows, strong colors against a cloudless sky, chaos and serenity. I like the architectural, the body of human nature, the landscapes that can be found in cities, people and nature alike. I have found myself attracted by multicultural and, multi societal consciousness.
My work, tender, eloquent, provocative and painful at times mirrors my “many lives” and my many foreign travels, as well as my view on cultural, social, and political issues.
Take the time to see me through.

My name is Alena Molozanov, and I am an experienced photographer and an amateur painter. I was born and raised in Ukraine, and in my adult life, my family and I have yet to spend more than three years in one place – Moscow, NYC, Latvia, and now back in the US in New Jersey.
Now that I have more time, space, and stability in my life, I have taken up decorating my home with my own art. I love photography, and have plenty of photos to decorate my new home. However, I’ve always been fascinated by painting, and quickly realized my home was missing this type of art. So, I decided to give it a shot and try it myself. I have a wall in my Hallway which is too awkwardly shaped for a photo – very long and a bit narrow. That’s where my first vertical painting came from.
My only art background comes from my Mom, who can draw beautifully. As a child, I watched her draw holiday cards, birthday cards, and banners for her friends and work events.
In order to learn and explore techniques and mediums, I recently enrolled in a local art school. I love every second I spend in class with my incredible teacher and amazing artists. Right now, I am experimenting with different styles and techniques, and have discovered my love for textures. I am still exploring to see what brings me the most joy, and I invite you to join me on my journey.

European Visual Artist Mj Tom chooses not to share any personal information. Since 2003 he established the Visual Poetry | Urban Art Group LosOtros with his alter ego Andrea Nada. He lives between Berlin, Barcelona and Paris.
…
His work has been exhibited at London, Paris, Hamburg, Berlin, Barcelona.
…
His current body of work includes mixed media, collage, sculture, installation, and digital printing. Irreverent and fleeting, able to define himself as a copy machine of art, sarcastic and deliberately anonymous, he questions almost every probable
fact. The veneer of normality, the history as written, the common way of understanding nature and oneself as a part of it.
…
As he remarks “I don’t want much to be known “about me”. I am not trying to be elusive as some people might say. I just think what is important is the artwork, not the artist. I want you to have my work on your …wall, not based on who I am, where I have studied or where I have exhibited my work. I don’t want to get between “You” and the “Artwork”. I want to live quietly behind it… and pass away sometime quietly…”
…
Adding that “We are low value with high purpose. We are dedicated to noneducational activities, self-indulgent thoughts, unfinished and incomplete actions. Our work is not easily classified or marketable. This protects us from analysis, judgment or criticism. We have no direction, motivation other than a cursed reflex to purge our anonymous mental overflows in a public forum and then run away from it and hide behind our cloak of concealment. Art is simply our lifestyle.”.

[Curriculum Vitae on My Own Words] or There is no Reality | Until You Create One.
Art is my way to conciliate with reality. In some cases, I can bring it closer to my standards. And psychoanalysis too. Both of them are hopeless. It is a try to put an order in the hectic world around and inside me. To value better what had happened and possibly what is happening, at least a part of it. It is a lost war. Before I can understand what had happened in reality, or at least what I perceive as reality, the latter flips and turns to something else. I ‘m a witness, an eye witness. I revise meticulously what it is
around me. I examine, select, collect, put in order emotions. Stating what is important and what is not, what could be regarded as beautiful, or ugly, what would be funny or sad. If I can’t change it, I can barely transform it, good enough in order to compromise with it. Sometimes the attempt is successful, sometimes it isn’t. I ‘m urban. I like nature but I feel comfortable only in the city. It is my battlefield. Especially, the afterhours, when everybody sleeps so I can walk quietly in the streets and hear the sounds. My paints they are made for me, but in reality they refer to others. It is an attempt; to speak enough for me but not in a verbal way. What is entitled inside the frame, presuppose my aesthetic viewpoint. But what they produce is beyond my control. I exist in both of them. It is a miracle, when it happens. Unfortunately isn‘t an everyday experience. Or, I believe so.
My Reality | Ιn Halftones.
My work is an exploration of paradoxes and contrasts which are torturous and utopian, wild and serene but definitely resilient.
As my reality is in halftones, I capture fragments of life often ignored or forgotten. My art echo’s the unease and mixes it with the uncomfortable reality of continuous transformations of the urban environment in which I live. Faces, pseudo familiar situations, characters belonging to various walks of life… they all inject emotions with such a warm identity to characterize the experience of
ordinary people, those people who would say and tell through the eyes their own existence. Ι represent ordinary people; those actors unaware of being protagonists of present days and to represent them in spite of a reality in half-tone that essentially results a kind of summary, which, in the end, is life! An arrested motion in time. In arresting motion there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality, so I don’t arrest motion in time. I make it. I love my subjects although I don’t know them. I mean, they’re my friends. I’ve never meat any of them or I don’t know them at all, yet I live through them, or I can’t live without them.
They constitute my curriculum vitae.

”I was born in s’Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands in 1954. I have been a lifelong doodler.My work is influenced by children’s toy’s, folk and indigenous art forms. I am an amateur painter and maker of things. But I spend most of my time doing this and I will continue as long as there are new things to discover….I like my works to be joyous, colorful with a kinetic feel. I’ll work with and on anything available, including old wood, cardboard and all kinds of wonderful junk,” writes John van Orsouw.

I’ll work with and on anything available, including old wood, cardboard and all kinds of wonderful junk,” writes John van Orsouw.
John meets all the requirements to be himself.
He is completely self-taught which is not to say that he is not schooled. His schooling,however,has been the museums, the ideas, the movies and the streets of urban life both in the U.S. (New Orleans, New York City) and in Europe including his childhood home in Holland. Presently he is selling his work in New York City. His recent exhibitions include the Outsider Art Fair in New York and Paris, The 6th annual Outsider Art Exhibition at Galerie Belage in West Hampton Beach, New York , Musee de la Creation France and van der Plas gallery in New York City.
John’s paintings are part child, part expressionistic brut, part music and part CoBrA. He is Dubuffet filtered through Rembrandt and Bosch via Karel Appel. He is, in the composite, pure John van Orsouw, a free spirit inspired by daily life, its sounds, its smells, its colors, its culture and its language. Spontaneity is his medium, like the jazz he celebrates in his work.
His work is playful – a carnival of bright, primary-colored toys which he then, like a magician, swirls through scribbles of motion and ends with a figure, an animal or a musical instrument. He plays with the idea that art is a toy and works the shapes into shape and superimposes, imposes and just plain poses these shapes within the spontaneous, organic and sometimes conscious scribbles, squiggles and doodles. it looks like John is having fun. And that’s the way he wants it to look.
When he is working, John is in the center ring of a 3-ring circus. He is the ringmaster for the clowns, cartoons, the blues, jazz and colorful men and women. Wild-eyed dogs, cats and birds roam freely through his field of vision. As ringmaster he snaps his whip and whips his performers into recognizable shapes but in the end they all have a life of their own. His work, like the playful circus of his imagination, has been created for children of all ages!

The integration of quasi architectural and natural landscapes forms the spine of my social, historical and political commentary. Neoexpressiinism is my sphere of operation. It suits my temperament. This genre also accurately reflects the distorted paradigm in which we live.

Amy O’Hearn is a New Orleans, Louisiana artist who works from her home studio. Amy uses a meditative and intuitive approach in her paintings. She thrives on the risk and spontaneity of not having a plan before starting to paint, she simply clears her mind and lets the colors and the brush take her away. Amy finds it very fulfilling when other people interpret her art, noticing things she hadn’t intended. She often names her paintings after the visions others see.

Amy finds it very fulfilling when other people interpret her art, noticing things she hadn’t intended. She often names her paintings after the visions others see.
Amy has always been interested in art, especially drawing and painting. She enjoyed being in the Art program during high school and continued to draw and paint after her graduation in 1999. Her favorite memory of that time was drawing tattoos for her shipmates when she joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 2000. Then “life happened,” as Amy says, and she veered off her artistic path for a while. Words cannot describe the joy it brings her to be reunited with inspiration.
Artist Statement
Amy O’Hearn’s artwork is the culmination of tiny triumphs and mistakes that make it beautiful. She chooses different colors and adds new layers throughout her creative process; each session inspires the choices for the next. When painting subject matter, Amy likes to incorporate the same intuitive approach. The object is the inspiration and the painting is not limited to the rules of reality.
Amy’s goal is to capture the essence of perfect imperfection and self love that nurtures growth, countering the cultural pressures to change who we are to fit others’ expectations.
