Being born in Truth or Consequences has shaped my outlook on life to be a black and white Rube Goldberg machine. I have always studied and been drawn to the Truth.
My work has focused on human struggles with societal pitfalls induced by the conception of morality, and the enforced standards we try and fail to uphold ourselves. Growing up poverty-stricken and at the hands of extreme child abuse, I feel an urgency in addressing these issues and thus issues of morality before true societal progress can be achieved. I believe that what are referred to as the Seven Deadly Sins along with Karma will define the trials and tribulations a person will interact with in their lifetime, and the demons they will struggle with along that path.
My intentions are to spread the word about the struggles within each of us to remain human at all times, and at times, at all cost. Is it okay to help those who admit struggle? Can we be judgmental without being unfair? I want the viewer to understand truths within themselves through my art, to progress and have a life free of burden. I want the viewer to achieve a visual nirvana and ascend to their further purpose.

I’m a self-taught artist and have been drawing and painting for four decades. I’m interested in the process that creates a painting. Although it involves imagination, this process is affected by chance, so that when I begin a picture I have only a half-formed image of what the finished painting might look like. The completed piece only slightly resembles the image that I had in mind when I began it. I think of this as improvisation. Over the years that I’ve been painting, I’ve learned to trust the brush and the materials – to let them take the lead – and not to think too much about how it will end up . . . until I get to that end.
This is part of what makes painting interesting for me.

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.

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.

Kyle Rehm has been painting for over 35 years. He won a 4 year scholarship to MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art & Design) in 1985, but was unable to use it. This didn’t stop him from pursuing what he’d already committed to. At 17 he had the idea to create work that would be a one on one collaboration with the viewer. To create a more personal and intimate experience. He wanted the work to reflect differently with each member of the audience, like music. Music isn’t easily described or interpreted, yet everyone has a deeply intimate attraction to it, because of the imagination. Kyle wanted to create this experience in his work. To do this it had to incorporate all the ideas of art into one form. His idea was Imaginism, and the simple definition was this; Imagination delineates art through interpretation. This gave the viewer complete control of interpretation. In order to do this he had to create works that were enigmatically ambiguous, and yet welcomed the imagination in an intriguing way. He achieved this by his use of the line. This allowed the imagination an overwhelming number of possibilities. By doing so it also gave each viewer room to find a uniquely authentic interpretation that would evolve and change, and become more and more personal with time.

His work has been published by Oxford University Press in 2013, on the cover of “How to Build a Brain”. A textbook detailing how to build an Artificial Intelligence. Written by Dr. Christopher Eliasmith.
Currently, he’s working on a new experiment with his paintings. He’s creating new work from his original oil paintings by using digital tools. To be clear, the original works are only altered with these tools. Nothing is added, no colors or no images. These are not new paintings, but are completely reimagined original works. He first thought of this in 1989, but the tools back then were very primitive and very unintuitive. So he waited until the technology caught up to the idea. He considers the works as mixed media. A physical oil painting that’s been digitally altered. Each work is a progression toward something new.

Hi! My name is Chelsea Chase. I consider myself a fairly new artist, at least with this type of medium, I feel that I have finally found my calling in the art world. I have always been creative and have tried my hand at multiple art forms. I actually had a portrait photography business for 10 years but I could never find a groove or style that really made me genuinely excited about my work. I was recently inspired by my best friend who is a 4th grade teacher who did an art project with her class using torn magazine pages. Through that I have found something that makes me truly unique and creates a richness and depth that really makes my heart happy.

My paintings are a critical response to the political and cultural issues crystallized through the social media anonymous human interactions. Beyond emoticons and slashing words, and through enigmatic appearances, my work puts a grotesque, loud, distorted, and caricatural emotional reaction on faces that never “face” each other.
Through the context of emails, texts, Instagram and Facebook posts, those imaginary faces hide behind bold, blunt, and aggressive tirades illustrating the fragmentation of human interactions. Jean Michel Basquiat, Franz Kline, and Robert Motherwell are my most significant influences when using percussive, and raw brushstrokes to build a snapshot of the emotional reactions to these exchanges.
