<p>&#8220;Most artists of the day are known for their repertoire of paintings that look very similar to one another. Having come from diverse backgrounds and philosophies, having lived in many places in this world, I see different worlds. At a very early age I was taught to just paint what I see.&#8221;</p>

<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR WORK PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR WORK?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A:</em> </strong>In my work, I am a traditional -modernist. I revere the traditional aspects of painting, such as using traditional mediums such as oil and canvas and palette knife. However, my work stretches from figurative to absolute abstracts and everything in between, using trowels and rags and painting knives to achieve technique. Motion is a key theme in my work, whether it be palm trees, racecars, or abstract themes.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong></em> I would like to begin with the masters, such as Monet, Rothko, Pollack, Richter, and Diebenkorn. But let me continue with my contemporaries such as Luc Leestemaker, James C Leonard, Michael Kessler, Angela Gebhardt, Bill Patterson, and many others.</p>

<h3>Q: WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>Paint what you see. And then I take my own advice of always moving forward to evolve and grow, and then I tell myself “Use the down days to paint your edges”</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT DOES EXHIBITING AT ART SANTA FE 23 MEAN TO YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>After 3 years of drought due to a worldwide suppressive event, and then a spontaneous intrastate move, huge renovations, and 2 bone-break injuries later, I’m back in the saddle again. Such a hiatus is both humbling and mind-bending, as one never knows what will happen next. Grateful for the opportunity to exhibit again.</p>

<h2>Lauren Deyo</h2>
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14095" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/003A3318E690487BABDA7D364A176CB6.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="1008" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/003A3318E690487BABDA7D364A176CB6.jpg 720w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/003A3318E690487BABDA7D364A176CB6-214x300.jpg 214w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></h2>
<p>Lauren’s first creative expression occurred when she was left in her in her uncle’s hands. He fell asleep and she finger-painted all the porcelain in the bathroom. Since retiring as a teacher her focus is on art, her “new career”. She has been prompted to take oriental brush painting classes, mixed media workshops and studio work with Janet Bothne at Studio J in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. Contemporary painting in acrylic and mixed media is her love along with collage. Recently she has added encaustic to her mixed media menu which is a perfect marriage with her collages.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR WORK PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR WORK?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A: </em></strong>The work philosophy that I follow is simple, get in the studio and work every day on something creative that adds value to my art. This practice is more like an attitude. It keeps me exploring and experimenting with new materials, using different tools, and adding shapes and marks to my work. This process opens me up no matter the results.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>Current artists who’s work I admire Peter Vahlefeld for his bold mixed media art with graphics I love. His work is contemporary with a dash of “street art” feel.</p>

<h3>Q: WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>There is lots of advise for artists out there. The best: work every day, believe you will improve and the work will evolve. Also, don’t rely on other’s opinions of your work.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT DOES EXHIBITING AT ART SANTA FE 23 MEAN TO YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>This is a first for me, exhibiting at Art Santa Fe. My goal is to find additional gallery representation. I work quickly. My inventory grows and needs to be shared with others in galleries seeking a passionate, energetic artist.</p>
<h2>Barbara McCullouch</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14096" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-819x1024.jpg" alt="" width="819" height="1024" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-240x300.jpg 240w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-768x960.jpg 768w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-1639x2048.jpg 1639w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-1170x1462.jpg 1170w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BarbaraMcCulloch-Artist-©GabriellaMarks-08-740x925.jpg 740w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px" /></p>
<p>&#8220;I was born on the edge of a Montana prairie that was silent except for the song of the meadowlark carried on the wind. Looking under wet stones taught me about life. Then it happened &#8211; I picked up a stick and drew marks in the mud.</p>
<p>I dreamed of being an artist someday. But I didn’t understand creativity and I set that mystery aside for a successful life working in art. First as a technical illustrator, then a potter, then teaching and painting landscapes around Glacier Park. I really loved bringing people joy with my paintings, but I knew there were creative depths I needed to explore.&#8221;</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR WORK PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR WORK?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A: </em></strong>Although I approach my work to make art, I have long since realized is that creative time spent focused on my own personal artistic growth and creativity permits the act of artistic creation to etch deeper meaning into my work. Simply, I like to say that “while artists may be making art, art is actually making the artist”. We artists as humans, beyond our work, become more observant, sensitive, curious, and intuitive.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong></em> My work begins with time immersed in nature, quietly allowing my senses to absorb the experience as fully as possible. These are moments of sublime transcendence and also moments that surprise me with a powerful jolt of awareness of beauty and connectedness. I allow these moments in time and place to rest inside me until I feel my hands needing to express my heart with field notes of collected colors and movement of natural lines. The inspiration that I receive from life, whether fauna or flora, is the awareness that all life is intrinsically connected. This feeling of awe runs through me and into my painting, regardless of materials or technique, and is usually expressed as interpretive abstraction. Modulated color applied with a lyrical brush becomes my favorite way to express my appreciation for the beauty of nature.</p>
<p>Wassily Kandinsky, 1866-1904, became my hero for his passion to be independent of the traditional salon painters, devoting himself to exploring the inner depth of abstract art. Reading Concerning the Spiritual in Art gave me an awareness of the power of abstract art to be a transcendent vehicle in my own spiritual life. Kandinsky’s comparisons between art and music remain with me as I choose interpretive colors for my own compositions. He wrote: ”Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand which plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul&#8221;.</p>

<h3>Q: WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>“It’s not all about you.” When I remember that my work is a conduit between my inspiring experience and my viewer’s curiosity, it humbles me into taking responsibility to offer the deepest expression of that moment possible. Practically speaking, that advice helps me let go and work with joyful passion and separate the process from the results of the viewers&#8217; opinion.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT DOES EXHIBITING AT ART SANTA FE 23 MEAN TO YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>I am thrilled to offer my series “Southwest Visions” for exposure to regional as well as national and international galleries. In addition to showcasing my paintings, I will be delighted to sign my new ‘award-winning’ art workbook, The Unstoppable Artist.</p>

<p class="Standard">Carol is a mid-century Southern California Girl, growing up on the beaches of Santa Barbara, while developing a love for the sand, the surf, and the sun. She spent her art school days at UCSB, before leaving for New York City in 1984. There she continued to study painting at various East Coast schools—creating a design business along the way—before diving back into art in the early 2000s. After a move to Delaware, her graphic design career continued, as she added a stint at DCAD (Delaware College of Art and Design) as an instructor of both graphic design and painting to her accomplishments. In Delaware, Carol acquired a bevy of private art students, and developed—and lead—art workshops to the South of France, before moving here, to Santa Fe, in 2016.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR WORK PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR WORK?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A: </em></strong>Making art is hard work. It takes dedication, a rich imagination, and an obsessive personality. This trio of elements has serviced me well over the course of the 40+ years I&#8217;ve spent painting and creating 3D sculptures. What has also been of service is the realization that none of it comes easily. Each piece is a battle of self and skill, continuously fought through to an end, in order to achieve something profound, beautiful; something which taps into my inner most being and spits out a work worthy of spectators, of collectors, of myself. The struggle is the appeal, it&#8217;s something deeply sensed within each piece, playing with ones emotions and ones understanding of the world and how it works.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>My go-to artists are the Bay Area Abstract Figurative painters: Diebenkorn, David Park, Elmore Bishoff. Lately, I&#8217;ve been branching out as I seek to find a way through portraiture, so Marlene Dumas and Alice Neel have joined the gang, and their books are opened up in my studio for inspiration. The freshness of these artists, and the spontaneous way they capture people, landscapes, and city scenes has remained an important resource to my education as a painter, as has their honing away at detail and opulent use of color. Their boldness in painting is my journey.</p>

<h3>Q: WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?</h3>

<h3>Q: WHAT DOES EXHIBITING AT ART SANTA FE 23 MEAN TO YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>2022 was the first year I exhibited here at Art Santa Fe. It pushed me into another realm of showcasing my work in a beautiful, well organized setting, where I can be in control of mywork. Being at ASF I became part of a wonderful world of talented artists from across the country and beyond, along with the art patrons who roamed the exhibition space throughout the weekend, enjoying the endless variety of work represented. I look forward to a repeat this year!</p>
<h2>Conrad Bobiwash</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14120" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pic06.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pic06.jpg 400w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pic06-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></p>
<p>Conrad Bobiwash is innovative and brings new insights to creativity. He holds degrees in Science and Education. Trained and observed some of the most important Indigenous colorists, he drew inspiration from Bruce King and Earl Biss. It was these experiences plus his background in Graphic Design that brought him to the forefront of Indigenous art in the Americas and abroad.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR WORK PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR WORK?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A: </em></strong>My thinking on Art is that there is an endless well of inspiration in the natural environment. My creativity arises from the shapes and forms in nature and when joined with the practice of the elements of design, creates a unique universality of feelings, colors, lines, and shapes that invoke emotional responses or remembrances of the past or present.</p>
<p>Being raised on the land really helped develop the spirit of movement and color, the land is my anchor and I will return to the land one day.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>Artists that inspired me are Monet for color patterns and Lloyd Kiva New for creativity. Finally, Chagall for his spirit to create.</p>

<h3>Q: WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>Work every day, doing drawing and sketching, these are the sources of everything we develop.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT DOES EXHIBITING AT ART SANTA FE 23 MEAN TO YOU?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A: </strong></em>The exposure to new creativity in materials and images as well as meeting with some great artists.</p>
<p>The hosts of Art Santa Fe are professional and exact in the look of the show. Meeting like-minded people is the reward for my attendance. Visitors and collectors are on a mission and collect images that are significant to their being as people. Art inspires and awakens their spirit. This is a great show for new collectors and seasoned treasure hunters.</p>

<p>&#8220;As an art student in New York City and after several trips to Africa and Asia, I was fascinated with peeling paint, sidewalks, and adobe walls. I revisit this today by throwing sand and mixed media into my work. I want to allow the textures and colors to resonate with one another without my interference as well. The irony and contradiction that I discovered in this process are deeply gratifying. I started painting in 2015 after a decades-long hiatus focused on family and careers as a book cover designer, gallery assistant, and art teacher. I have now returned full circle to my fascination with the creative expression of painting and dance.</p>
<p>Painting is like a dance for me. I feel that I am a partner with the paint and the canvas. It is a physical act of rhythm, texture, surface, and subsurface, always moving, always in flux. I am deeply influenced by the spontaneous creativity of moving through space with my body. Essentially, I want the paint itself to direct the work with as little interference from my cognitive, rational self as possible. This act of spontaneous “selflessness” is deeply gratifying and always a revelation. My process lately is to distill the action on the canvas to as few brushstrokes as possible. This intention is to capture the moment, the movement, the flow.</p>
<p>My influences include Helen Frankenthaler, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Howard Hodgkin, and Cy Twombly to name just a few.</p>

<p>At the age of 60, I felt the need to embark on a new chapter in my life and that is when I started painting and dancing. I have been blessed with a life of experience, both tragic, beautiful and uplifting. I have seen the world and it’s challenges, mainly in Africa and at home, and my desire is to remain active for the decades I have left. I am enormously grateful for my good health and this amazing life I have led. It doesn’t stop here. The doors are flung wide open to new possibilities.&#8221;</p>

<p>Jillian Gamble has been creating art since she was a small child. Her father was a wood craftsman that would make beautifully detailed jewelry boxes and scenes carved out of wood. Growing up around this inspired her to pursue her own interests in art. Her passion for art is rooted in her obsession with color and nature.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT IS YOUR WORK PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOUR WORK?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A: </em></strong>To create as much as you can because I have found that the more I can produce the more my work grows and develops. Plus, I am going to get good pieces and terrible pieces, so the more I can make, the more likely I am to create work I like.</p>
<h3>Q: WHAT ARTISTS INSPIRE YOU?</h3>
<p><strong><em>A: </em></strong>Abstract expressionist and impressionist artists, mostly. Claude Monet for his thick brushy marks to interpret nature. Helen Frankenthaluer for pushing the boundaries of abstract expressionism and not letting the men in the field overshadow her. Betty Franks for her vibrant interpretations of nature.</p>

<p>&#8220;My Art&#8230;is a voluntary effort to satisfy an involuntary urge. Whether two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or ethereal the desired intent of the artistic expression is to disconnect the observer from the reality arrived with&#8230;to capture to entertain to supersede one’s conscious presence with new information in a total departure from one’s accustomed rhythms to provide an escape from the overwhelming, totally encompassing now into a free-falling state of uninhibited, limitless experience where artistic expression induces calculated, spontaneous excursions beyond memorable experience without the burden of consequence.&#8221;</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13674" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Studio.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="480" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Studio.jpeg 640w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Studio-300x225.jpeg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p>Urevbu is a contemporary gallery owner, painter, and published writer. While the Urevbu Contemporary Gallery in Memphis&#8217; South Main Arts District showcases a dynamic collection of artists from Africa and the African diaspora, their Artexpo Dallas booth will focus on Ephraim Urevbu&#8217;s work.</p>
<p>Art served as a bridge from his past in Nigeria to his present in Memphis – the poverty and seemingly impossible cultural and familial barriers to a career in art, the hardened realities of Black life in America, the challenges of racism, and the private battle against cancer – gifting him with a unique and compassionate voice.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13672" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/IMG_5439.jpeg" alt="" width="479" height="497" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/IMG_5439.jpeg 479w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/IMG_5439-289x300.jpeg 289w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/IMG_5439-24x24.jpeg 24w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px" /></p>
<p>Urevbu is best known for his large-scale abstract expressionist paintings distinguished by his presentation of bold acrylics and heavy pallet knife technique. He is currently busy in his studio working on a new body of work that explores important social and political themes such as morality, truth, race, equal rights and social justice, largely within the context of his personal experiences and American history.</p>
<p>He will be showcasing his Naked Truth Project at Artexpo Dallas this year. &#8220;The Naked Truth Project started with a conversation that lead to a meeting, that inspired a dialogue. Our generation has been exposed to atrocities of war, racial strife, economic inequity. We have also witnessed movements, legislation, court rulings and civil expression that focus our attention on a world we live in and what we want it to be. The result is the naked truth project.&#8221;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13676" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/At-The-Alter.jpeg" alt="" width="480" height="599" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/At-The-Alter.jpeg 480w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/At-The-Alter-240x300.jpeg 240w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></p>
<p class="p2">The paintings presented in the exhibition for The Naked Truth, were never intended to comfort and soothe the viewer, it is the intention of these paintings to &#8220;grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure, and then proceed in short order to rearrange your sense of reality.”</p>
<p class="p2">&#8220;In their creation, each painting seemed to take on a life of its own, transforming me as both artist and as observer of the long history and current events surrounding justice and equality. Rearranging my own sense of reality.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet Kai, an international, emerging artist making new waves in the art world for his complicated subjects and simplistic design.</p>
<p><b>Q: Introduce yourself &#8211; who are you and what do you do?</b><b></b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: I go by the name Kai and I’m an international artist who loves working with different mediums that raise awareness and express certain viewpoints and social commentaries that tie us all together as human beings.</span></em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-13264" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/0Z0A4396-740x494.jpg 740w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p><b>Q: What is your background?</b><b></b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: I was born and raised in Los Angeles and my parents were both of diverse backgrounds, which helped me appreciate different cultures and art from an early age. By my mid-teens, the concrete streets of LA became my canvas for creating various street art, graffiti, and murals. I was fortunate enough to study at the California Institute of the Arts and the prestigious L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.</span></em><b></b></p>
<p><b>Q: How do you work?</b><b></b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: While I love to collaborate on a piece of art, I prefer to work solo – with a high degree of concentration that helps me convey not just how the artwork will appear, but also how it communicates a meaningful message. When it comes to creating work, I first sketch it out, then create it digitally to clean up the fine lines. This then allows me to figure out which medium is the most preferable to create my message through – paint, concrete works, sculptures, or even tabletop sculptures. Early on in my work, I developed a signature character named “IF,” which is short for “Imaginary Friend.” This recurring character is a central component to much of my recent work, but IF bears no distinguishable physical, gender, or race-related traits. I created this androgynous character so that anyone can relate to it without applying stereotypical or cultural bias. IF has become a prevalent part of my sculpture and paint work, signifying messages that are ingrained in the design itself. IF is simply there to help convey the many universal themes that bind us together as a society.</span></em><b></b></p>

<p><b>Q: What art do you most identify with?</b><b></b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: Expressing my message through street art has remained a form that I readily identify with. Later, I began to work with concrete and cement, which I work with for many of my original sculptures. In a way, I’ve come full circle from my days creating original art on the streets of Los Angeles to the cement and concrete I now fashion into sculptures.</span></em></p>
<p><b>Q: What has been your favorite experience so far, as an artist?</b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: It would be very hard for me to share just one favorite experience but recently, I had the opportunity to work with Odell Beckham, Jr., a professional athlete who plays football for the Los Angeles Rams NFL team. He was expecting the birth of his first child and commissioned an original cement and bronze sculpture to celebrate what it meant to him to become a father for the first time. The piece is entitled, ‘Endless Possibilities’ and depicts my IF character, on a bended knee, presenting a globe of the world to a small child. Beckham was very moved by the piece, which he felt communicates the love and endless possibilities that a parent has to offer his or her child. Last year during Miami Art Week, he joined me in person at the Wynwood Walls Urban Graffiti Museum for the unveiling. It was truly a special moment, and this experience was definitely one of my favorite experiences as an artist.</span></em><b></b></p>

<p><b>Who inspires you?</b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: People inspire me. Not necessarily on the individual level, but as a collective global and cultural society. Listening to people speak also really inspires me. Hearing people’s stories, how their day was, listening to the news, music, television. Sometimes what isn’t said is more important than what has been said. I try to use my artwork to communicate the different universal themes that bind us all together. We have more than enough issues that divide and separate us, but I prefer a more idealistic viewpoint. I want to see the good in people – the love, time, caring, success, and similarities that all human beings are capable of sharing with one another.</span></em></p>
<p><b>Q: What is the best advice you have received?</b><b></b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: I think the best advice anyone can receive is the kind you’re willing to listen to and take to heart. I was raised to believe that nothing is impossible and that you can’t let the world tell you no. Believing in yourself is a real commodity – one that I wish more people would realize.</span></em><b></b></p>

<p><b>Q: When you are not working, where can we find you?</b><b></b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: Well, I am a bit of a workaholic and I love to get into whatever I’m creating at the moment. Keeping busy with developing new collections, planning new exhibitions, and creating original pieces is what keeps me going. But, when I do take breaks, I love to take my dog for walks outside. I’ve also spent a lot more time in nature, allowing me to clear my head and create space for new ideas. I also enjoy cooking. It’s a different type of art.</span></em><b></b></p>
<p><b>Q: How has your career as an artist shifted during the past few years?</b></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>A</strong>: Since I began working with Bernard at Markowicz Fine Art, I’ve had a lot on my schedule and, for an artist, that’s definitely a good thing. I’m enjoying the subtle activist nature of the themes I’ve been creating lately. We put a lot of work into my solo shows at CONTEXT Art Miami late last year. I debuted a brand-new collection of paintings and sculptures with the theme, “Before It’s Too Late.” This exhibition had a specific message for society as a whole – bringing attention to the fragile environmental state of the world we live in. “Before It’s Too Late” is a cautionary tale, demonstrating that we don’t have an unlimited amount of time to address the sustainability of the planet. Going forward, I hope to spread this message and subsequent activism on more of a global scale.</span></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-uw-styling-context="true">Artexpo New York 2022 is back on April 7-10 at Pier 36. Here at Art Business News, we’ll be highlighting this year’s Spotlight Artists, showcasing each artists’ unique style and creative process.</p>
<p>John Dowling will be showing several pieces from his “A Miracle In The Making” collection, including two large 60” x 78” abstract pieces surface mounted on acrylic. His digital paintings are best observed in larger sizes, although the smaller formats are also exceptionally striking. However to truly understand Dowling’s vision he prefers to share them in the larger formats. Another interesting facet of Dowling’s vision is that the pieces are meant to be viewed both as individual works and also as montages of dozens, hundreds, even thousands of works that then form a distinctly new image. When complete, they can measure hundreds of feet in length and width for use in large arenas, atriums, and permanent grande installations.</p>

<p>Dowling’s odyssey began in the ’80s. While recovering from a devastating illness he spent time painting his photos on his laptop as art therapy. Dowling was and is a preeminent photojournalist and fine art photographer and has photographed countless celebrities, models, politicians, executives, wildlife, landscapes and nature, high-profile events, and life in general. Often Dowling would walk daily marathons to grow new arteries as he was born with a genetic mutation in his liver that destroys them. He is lucky to be alive and looking forward after 30 years of fighting the effects of this mutation to the cure that was just announced and will be available sometime in the next year.</p>

<p>During his days working with film and in traditional darkrooms Dowling experimented obsessively with multiple exposure photography and montages. Years later while recovering from those grueling marathons and surgeries Dowling began to photo-retouch old photographs from his family albums and friends&#8217; ancestry photos that were ripped and torn. Later he would superimpose many digital images taking the most attractive portion of each shot to create a master print comprised of many photographs to create one world-class portrait. As Dowling’s retouching and compositing became more and more elaborate he started to paint his photographs with abstract textures and combine images to create illusions.</p>

<p>What makes Dowling’s work so unique is his extensive use of layers that cause each viewer to have different perceptions of what they see. A unique technique of leading the viewer to have false affirmations of what they see, as well as challenging the human conscious mind to see what actually exists. The actual term for this psychological effect is scotomization. Dowling relies heavily on this illusionistic technique and has taken it to a level rarely if ever seen in the art industry both historically and presently. These shapes, patterns, and illusions often lead to the viewer working to find the objects in his pieces and to moments where the observer has a “eureka moment” or epiphany.</p>

<p>Today, collectors are retaining Dowling to create and curate leased pieces to form galleries in their homes and offices that can change seasonally, or permanently for those who invest in Dowling’s art. In the early days Dowling’s museum-quality prints sold for a few thousand dollars, however, within a year, offers on Dowling’s abstract pieces increased to well over $5000 on editions of 100. Now Dowling is receiving offers for well over $7500. Larger 1 of 1 editions is selling for over $150,000. In addition, each piece in his collection has a master NFT that is valued at between $150,000 and $349,000. There are 218 individual works of art in Dowling’s “A Miracle In The Making” fine art collection, his first collection to be released since the ’80s. He is already receiving offers on the entire collection which includes reproduction rights. Dowling will retain author rights.</p>

<p><b>Brian Calvin</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s highly stylized portraits feature flattened planes of saturated color and evoke elements of Surrealism, Pop art, and Cubism. The artist often paints his predominantly female subjects in extreme close-up. A single face can comprise disparate skin tones and different colored eyes. It can be difficult to decipher whether Calvin’s compositions feature one face or two, and his group scenes often merge characters’ faces and limbs. Beneath Calvin’s bold, sunny hues lie serious conceptual concerns and an engagement with abstract principles. The artist received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1994. He has since exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Milan, and Tokyo, among other cities. His work belongs in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Portland Museum of Art, and the DePaul Art Museum. Calvin has also painted landscapes and interiors inspired by his California roots.</span></p>

<p>Will Schmahl&#8217;s abstract work has a recognizable style and leaves viewers with a sense of feeling whether it&#8217;s a burst of energy, a memory, an experience, or a person. Will is self-taught and was guided through independent teachings from several international artists. He attributes his success to his teacher, Adele Sypesteyn, who encouraged him to push through his limits of creativity.</p>
<p>Schmahl has been working with interior designers on custom commissions, designing skateboard, and working on his life through his art as his own personal therapy. He currently lives in Philadelphia and works out of his studio in Old City.</p>

<p>&#8220;I believe in using art to help tell a story, process our emotions, provide therapy to one’s soul, and to reflect what one loves at that moment. The thing that fascinates me most about art is the way our magical brains can pull forward a flood of memories and emotions after seeing something for less than a second. We see and, in an instant, are transported to a time or experience. I’ve been an abstract painter for a few years now first starting out with Resin and ink, now working with Acrylics. Abstract is my greatest form of expression, it&#8217;s like speaking without having to use words. The layers within each painting are what I love the most creating and exploring to show depth. I paint very expressive abstracts, letting my emotions be the guide. I like to work fast when I paint as it really allows me to focus on the emotional vibe and the mood I like to evoke or the story I&#8217;d like to tell.&#8221;</p>

Jensen lives by his motto: </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“People will tell you that you are a crazy dreamer because they don’t believe in you. But crazy dreamers believe in themselves and prove they are not crazy dreamers by making it happen. So be a crazy dreamer and make it happen.” Jensen creates images using recycled keyboards. His work has been shown at numerous fairs and conferences. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Research by Microsoft back in 2015 confirms that because of the very fast pace of life, modern man has less attention span than a goldfish. Therefore, it is very difficult to attract and captivate him. So popular contemporary art must be super-interesting. Creative people respond to this by developing high-tech art, where high-tech helps to create works that the audience will love.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see why technology will save art and what&#8217;s important for the success of a contemporary artist.</p>
<h3><strong>AI That Creates Art </strong></h3>
<p>The very use of AI adds to the mystique of works of art. The use of machine learning often produces unexpected results that cannot be explained and that humans would be unlikely to have thought of. Such art transcends <em>human</em> cultural patterns, so it has the power to surprise. Perhaps this is why Ahmed Elgamal, director of the Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Rutgers University, believes that the future lies in human-machine collaboration.</p>
<p>AI has long mediated the creation of art. For example, here&#8217;s a tweet created by Neural Machine&#8217;s Translation Project, which has been around since 2017:</p>
<p>“The artist&#8217;s job is to start the process of restoring rainbows.” (Neural Machine @neural_machine, March 31, 2020)</p>
<p>A special topic is neural network-based services that help anyone create artwork in seconds. In 2016, we saw the rise of the Prisma app, which allows you to transfer the styles of famous artists into photos. And in 2019, the FaceApp app, which everyone remembers for its photo-aging feature, became virally popular.</p>
<p>There are more serious examples. In 2018, the <em>Edmond de Belamy </em>painting, shown above, sold at a Christie&#8217;s auction for $432,000 and was created with the help of a neural network. In doing so, the creative team at Obvious, which presented this work to the world, used free code from GitHub.</p>
<p>Therefore, the ability to code (even at a basic level) in combination with out-of-the-box thinking greatly expands the opportunities for creativity. The future is for creative programmers who can develop not only code, but also an original idea.</p>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-12575" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value-740x493.jpg 740w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Value-of-Value.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></strong></p>
<h3><strong>The Line Between Science and Art </strong></h3>
<p>The deeper an artist understands human physiology and psychology, the more interesting effects he can create. The knowledge of neurobiology and technical savvy allows one to create truly amazing projects.</p>
<p>What about visualizing abstract concepts like freedom, power, love, or money by interpreting human brain waves? The Value of Value project, which belongs to the neuro-design genre on the blockchain, allows us not only to <em>see</em> these concepts but also to assign a value to each and then to share the unique 3D models created.</p>
<p>The combination of science and art allows the average viewer to join the comprehension of the mysteries of the universe. For example, the NanoArt21 project uses electron microscopes to create Nano pictures and Nano sculptures from atoms and molecules.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12577" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Chris-Orfescu.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="255" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Chris-Orfescu.jpg 340w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Chris-Orfescu-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px" /></p>
<p>A striking example is the Nano sculpture, created by Romanian scientist and artist Chris Orfescu. He combined graphite micro-and nanoparticles, which are about a hundred thousand times smaller than the thickness of a human hair, and visualized the work with a scanning electron microscope. And, most importantly, he added conceptuality and emotion to the result of his work, which made it possible to turn <em>boring</em> science into art interesting for the masses.</p>
<h3><strong>What Qualities Art Important to a Contemporary Artist?</strong></h3>
<p>To surprise a typical modern art consumer, there are three most important qualities for an artist:</p>
<ul>
<li>A minimum of technical knowledge. In today&#8217;s digital world it&#8217;s very hard to be without it.</li>
<li>The ability to think dialectically. It means to discover concepts (not necessarily the opposite) and combine them into something new. It sounds confusing, but it&#8217;s actually easy to understand. You can take sound and taste as thesis and antithesis, and then synthesize them in a creative project; which, for example, transforms a person&#8217;s brainwaves into music as he tastes different foods. Or you could create a music video or a photo project based on different people&#8217;s associations of sounds with food, depending on your skills and imagination.</li>
<li>Understanding the structure of the world. Surprise is always a consequence of breaking the usual course of things. And to disrupt something, you need a good understanding of the rules — how everything works. For example, knowing popular optical illusions, an artist can create an engaging scenario in VR. And then <em>break</em> the usual course of things, causing cognitive dissonance and showing the vulnerable places of human perception of the world.</li>
</ul>
<p>In general, the artist of today must become a professional in the field of breaking patterns, knowing a lot about the world order, and touching the edge of the unknowable, an area where there are still no clear answers. Art is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, and the artist is increasingly a programmer, a philosopher, and a scientist.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>American contemporary artist Rachel Tribble’s award-winning, watercolor and oil paintings are recognized for their meditative qualities and serene use of color. Initially working in the jewelry and fashion accessory industries and she ultimately left the design world to pursue her evolving fine art. She introduced her multi-media installation and performance work into the alternative venues of rock nightclubs during the rise of the EDM movement. Inside that arena, she created works that brought the viewer&#8217;s attention to the natural world and sparked esoteric and social questions.</p>
<h3>Q: Introduce yourself &#8211; who are you and what do you do?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> My name is Rachel Tribble. I’m a painter, I primarily working in oil and watercolor. Occasionally I make other things: 3D objects and gilded works.</em></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12351" src="https://artbusinessnews.com/wpdev/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PHOTO-Rachel_Tribble_2021-1.jpg" alt="" width="782" height="1024" srcset="https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PHOTO-Rachel_Tribble_2021-1.jpg 782w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PHOTO-Rachel_Tribble_2021-1-229x300.jpg 229w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PHOTO-Rachel_Tribble_2021-1-768x1006.jpg 768w, https://dev.artbusinessnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/PHOTO-Rachel_Tribble_2021-1-740x969.jpg 740w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px" /></p>
<h3>Q: What is your background?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> I grew up in New York and studied fine art at Syracuse University and The National Academy in New York City. I also studied jewelry design. The painting of gemstones is where I really learned color and how to paint light and dimension. In the 1990s I did a lot of performance work and multi-media installation work, a little in New York, but primarily in nightclubs in Minneapolis, where I lived for 9 years. I have always been environmentally aware and the majority of my performance and installation work focused on the esoteric and social consequences of the human disconnection from the Earth. Those works lead me to be invited into the Native American community in and around Minneapolis. I took a few years off from the artwork as I learned from the people and worked for a company partnering with Tribal communities. During that time I began a series of paintings that were entirely elemental and inspired by the Ojibwe traditional beadwork. In 2007 I showed them for the first time. The work attracted the attention of Disney and I was invited to create a poster for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World. The poster won an award for Disney and started what is now over a decade of collaborations with the company and showings at Epcot. I have done other commercial work and I regularly work with private collectors, galleries and sell online.</em></p>
<h3>Q: What art do you most identify with?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> That’s a really hard question. I love art, of all kinds. But I think it’s the silence of Rothko’s color fields and the solitude of Robert Kipniss that touch my spirit. But equally, I relate to the deliberate and beautiful chaos of Lance Letscher and Jackson Pollack.</em></p>

<h3>Q: How Do You Work?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> The paintings usually come in dreams or spurts of imagery in my mind like I’m watching a film. There is a knowing that I need to get this down before it disappears so I’ll just sketch it out on a sticky note, anything really, just to get it out of my head. Then I start with a watercolor study and work it out there, on paper before committing to canvas. But equally, I just go for it and commit to canvas without even making a sketch; especially if I understand the size of the work and the texture of the image I’m seeing. If it’s clear that the thing is oil and not work on paper, and there’s no need for me to work it out ahead of the canvas. At the point where I begin, it&#8217;s not just the image I explore. There always seems to be a tonal frequency and a singular point that the painting emerges from. I’ll spend time finding that sound meditation and the point to start. When the work begins it is layers of color on top of the texture, I cant even say I am fully conscious of what I’m doing, it just begins to work itself out. I love to paint in the dark, with all the overhead lights off and only one or two of my studio lamps on in the background, just enough light to show me the canvas. So many times I will be working and the sun will disappear into evening and night, and I don’t realize I’m in the dark. I love when that happens. The work is always emotional and often three or four of eight or more paintings will come all at once. It&#8217;s like an explosion of imagery and paint and it&#8217;s hard when that happens. I never want to leave the studio when I’m painting like that and it becomes hard to hold the balance of everyday life and being in the world of the painting. I’ve been known to sleep near the paintings just to understand and see them.</em></p>

<h3>Q: What has been your favorite experience so far as an artist?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> Receiving emails from people who live with my work or have recently found it. Telling me how a painting helped them through a really hard time in life or crisis. Especially during the quarantine, when some prints sold and I found out they were being purchased for the nurse&#8217;s break room in a hospital that was overwhelmed with COVID patients. And emails from an emergency room nurse in New York City and a hospital administrator in Michigan, both of whom were struggling with what was happening and found my work online. A similar type of thing happened in 2008 during the economic crisis. It’s incredibly humbling and makes me realize that what I do is not just me working, it is in service to others.</em></p>
<h3>Q: Who inspires you?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> My sons. Also my dear friend and watercolorist, Coco Connelly, and environmental activist, Joni Tobacco. I also follow Doctor Elvis Francois on Instagram.</em></p>

<p><em><strong>A:</strong> Don’t give up.</em></p>
<h3>Q: How Has Your Career As An Artist Shifted in the Past Year?</h3>
<p><em><strong>A:</strong> This is a huge question. Like everyone I had to find a way to sell, I was already working towards being online, so I just focused there. I struggle with social media and all that goes with it. It&#8217;s completely opposite of my personality and I realized I had to find a balance with what it meant to be online and if I was going to continue to sell, what would I focus on? I began to expand into different areas, trying out different platforms and ways of selling. What was nice is that my collectors and some people who just followed me </em><em>but had never actually purchased a painting started to buy. As people moved and redecorated… I sold a lot of work. I started thinking I’d just paint right through the quarantine but then the fear and overwhelm of what was happening in the world started to show itself. I didn’t know what I was painting anymore, nothing made sense to me. And then my teenage son started to crash into a significant depression. I was terrified of what was happening to him. I didn’t go into the studio at all. I was working in my kitchen and the paintings became small. I went from medium and large-scale canvases to small watercolor paintings and then even smaller, miniature paintings that fit into a matchbox. I’ve always been a color-oriented painter, but the color started to disappear. Grey, silver, black, and white replaced the monochromatic expressions of jewel-tone color I had always been slightly obsessed with. Then the work went white and silver. Silent. Not quiet, just silent. I think that’s partially what I’m dealing with right now. I think I’m still working out of that complete state of overwhelm and panic. Feeling like static on a television screen. I’m back in the studio and doing some larger canvases again. I’m finding hints of color and dimension in ways I never knew I could find them before. The biggest change is that I started doing some figurative work along with the elemental. Silent spirits and protector beings emerging from the light. I’m not ready to fully show those paintings yet. But probably soon.</em></p>
