Do you have a manifesto to live and or work by?

I don’t know if this is a manifesto, but I do have a strong belief that artists have a responsibility for what they are creating, because they can have such a large audience and influence over viewers, over shaping aesthetic taste and ideas. Always reaching for higher achievements, personal and artistic is a daily value, a way to escape stagnation and improve what I do. of course, it involves lot’s of work and not really waiting for the muse to stop by.

How have your life experiences effected your art?

Sometimes we don’t realize how life projects over us and influences our thoughts and everything we do. The hard experiences are usually the ones we have to be thankful for, because easy and comfortable do not help one to become a strong person. And believe me, to be a serious, devoted artist, requires more than positive thinking. In today’s art world it is easy to give up, because the competition is so great and overwhelming. There are great artists out there and to be seen and heard, to leave a mark is almost a miracle. I have traveled a lot, and lived in different countries, and I have always been curious about other cultures. I learnt from a young age to look behind the faces, and to hear the unspoken words. Intuition and sensitivity are something built up day by day, and an artist can’t paint successfully without this two ingredients. Artists like poets, are the engineers of the soul.

What other artists do you admire?

I very much admire Sagal, dali, klimt and lately Mark Rothko.

How have they influenced your art?

I ‘d like to think that the naivety of Sagal’s paintings, the perfection of dali, the lavishness and richness of klimt, and the minimalism of Rothko, have found a place in my work in different times. In my paintings I can see the attempt to be a minimalist overcome by use of gold, reaching for strong colors, and detail. Sadly for me, I don’t see minimalist artist coming out of this. It was my dream, but my way of work will make this dream be a dream for now. I thing about my self like a sleeping minimalist …

How you see future art trends?

I see that installations, mixed media, digital art, and the use of new materials are going to change the traditional way of painting and classic meaning of art. And this is going to be a ground for new names and styles.

How do you see art affecting things like fashion ,colors, music, museums and shopping?

Art takes different forms, art is flexible. When you look around, you can see it in the kitchen table, in the clothes you wear, in the music you hear. There are great designers in fashion and in other areas. Art is not limited only to painting and sculpture and this is grate, it is adapting to the daily experience of peoples life. It is not necessary to make

high art only, to be able to bring the message or the idea, to perform the communication, or the way I like to “make a Conversation”. The museums are the ones who preserved the essence of the past, I just have a feeling that minimalistic and digital art will be the largest part of their collections.

“Painting is a personal language for me.”

“I work in acrylics because they dry fast. I am able to layer many shapes and lines, leaving mysterious windows and vibrating edges that create excitement for the eye and mind.

The less I reveal about my personal inspiration for a work, the freer viewers are to interpret the work from their own wells of experiences and memories, giving it added meaning.

People experience life very differently. I wish my paintings could absorb and mingle all the interpretations and report back to me.”

“I have a background in furniture making which remains a passion of mine since I first undertook my diploma in Coffs Harbour.

growing up in a coastal town I have always been passionate about the environment. Since living in Melbourne I have been inspired to become a voice for the voiceless members of the community; the bay, the stre ets and the old furniture by the roadside destined for landfill. I have always been drawn to natural materials rather than newly produced and manufactured ones.

deconstructing old pieces of furniture and reconstructing them into sculptural pieces is something I first explored in 2007 and has led me to a love of expression through sculpture.

In 2010 I completed a short course at northcote Pottery and this has led me to become interested in broadening my range of expression through the materials I use. I believe furniture making pairs beautifully with sculpture, ceramics and other art forms, and I now plan to investigate ways in which these mediums can be fused.

In August 2011 I had my first solo exhibition in Melbourne at the gasworks Art Park, Albert Park titled The Advocates, in January I had and encore showing of the same works in a 2012 Midsumma group exhibition also at gasworks Art Park.

I am currently collaborating with my wife writer Belinda Raposo-knight on blog and soon to be book CO_ The Creative Couples Project

www.creativecouplesproject.com

“Over the years I have been developing my skill

base working mainly with timbers but am now working with clays and

other natural and recycled materials, alongside timber and reclaimed furniture.”

Co-ArISInG

This body of work in response to a piece of text I read by Poet Elizabeth reninger: “The curves and circles of the Yin-Yang symbol imply a kaleidoscope-like movement". My response based around the traditional definition of yin-yang is that of a contemporary one; continual change, co-arising, interdependent, in constant collaboration, in growth and in transformation one into the other, a never ending body of work.

THE AdvoCATES

These are my advocates, they represent my fight for a simpler life, these are my main supporters.

I will be in control of this disposable world, I will rescue furniture that is destined for landfill where its life will end, each piece will be reincarnated into the form of something new, tho their spirits will continue to live on.

All things deserve a second chance, I will be your maker. As an artist this is my duty.

“My stories speak of lights. To depict them I bring out some reflections, transparencies or things that happen beyond the simple description of facts…My work also offers different readings. There are the metaphors that fantasize reality, allowing the viewer frame of suggestions and reveries.

In addition, there is an intention to render a feeling in communion with the spirit of this time. For this I employ symbolic elements, driven to this purpose. There are also “things” that spring up unconsciously from the hand when one is on the right mood, all toward the effort of achieving a consequential atmosphere – one that reflects loneliness, lack of hope, abandonment – and that peace which exists beyond the end of everything.”

“Echoes of the Gods”From the first view on works, comes the sensation that you are in a place where the time doesn’t exist. The active movements of the muscles of the male, slender and desire in women’s bodies, all this involves into a world where people touch the life of the gods. Enjoying the life, games is the main occupation for the characters the paintings. All sweetness of Texture, color, brushwork - is to depict heat of greece, to report the saturation and the integrity of the images. The sharp lines of the images are charged by velocity and dynamics. Wealth, luxury, and scorching heat are coming from the canvases, and the energy that tends into space, is only positively charged.

Randall Fisher

Randall FisherRandall Fischer, U.S. painter/illustrator was born in 1985 and raised in northern California by a logging family. The artist worked for the family business beforepursuing a career in art in los Angeles, where he is currently attending the Pasadena Art Center College of design. Randall is now studying under amazing talents such as Aaron Smith, david luce and Sean Cheetham.

From a very young age Randall was very gifted at drawing and understanding perspective, winning school art competitions over his much higher grade levels, but it became apparent early on that the artist was red/green colorblind when he would fail to get the colors correct in his drawings.

As an adult, Randall has learned to keep track of the colors he mixes and, for the most part, paint with the great color control, although it’s a constant struggle.

The artist’s works consist mostly of female oil portraits classically posed, but the subjects are painted with a more modern color palette and paint control. With heavy use of drips and dramatic baroque lighting, Randall’s beautiful and dark portraits give a sense of sadness and decay, while the mostly female figures stand strong and defiant against he dreary darkness and dissolving paint they’ve been placed into.

Recently the artist has begun to paint more than just figures, expanding to animals and decaying automobiles, where the paintings become more about time and decay and less about standing against a world full of change.

nosmaS France www.nosmas.fr

After an atypical course which began with fine arts and drawing courses at the School of Fine Arts, 49 year old nosmaS entered the world of the media and the graphics arts while he also managed several companies.

“While working in the business world, I found that my eyes were constantly caught by the graffiti and torn posters that adorned the walls I passed. These things are often called “visual pollution” but to me, they said “photography” and photograph them, I did.

In time, in front of the programmed disappearance, with the arrival of the digital era and digital display, I began to take some of the old posters as well, and this interest has blossomed into a theme of my work.

I want to make something creative and different out of these aspects of everyday life which we so often overlook, and yet which form a part of our lives that cannot be ignored.

All the emotions, layers and context of the originals make it into my pieces, with some added understanding that comes from my personal vision. In this way I communicate and encourage my audience to engage with an aspect of life which we often ignore, in the form of modern and accessible art which stirs our emotions and interest.”

This series of images are a praise to everyday life and to passion for rituals and small satisfaction.

“I’m Croatian photographer living in Split. I enjoy taking photos of the world around me. Most of all I like street photography, reflections and glass objects. I use a Canon EoS 50d. Even more than digital photography, I love experimenting with my Holga and Sprocket Rocket cameras. So far I had opportunities to exhibit my work in Brooklyn, nY, Paris, France and around Croatia. I am truly looking forward to every new photographic adventure.”

“Photographs are situated in Paris - a shrine for action, emotion and human drama. My intent is to represent vibrance, not in a single image, but in overlapping images, moments that never come alone but are blended together in a dramatic series. Main actors are everyday people revealed through trivial activities that create life in the constantly changing time frame and their dialogue with the city.”

Ivan Iliev

According to Gerlinde Schrammel

Three cornerstones comprise the primary characteristics of Ivan Illiev’s artistic work: his care for detail, his love of nature and his affinity for late Renaissance and Baroque painting.

Ivan Iliev Austria www.ivan-iliev.eu/

Allegory I Allegory II

Page 51: ShowArtists Magazine Issue 6

Illiev lovingly represents and interprets his chosen subjects with meticulous precision. His education as a graphic designer and his extensive experience in this field has schooled his eye for detail, so that he may easily and humorously devote himself to his favorite subjects in painting.

His love of nature leads him to the exploration of landscapes and their vegetation. For the artist, plants are equivalent with the message: budding, growing and withering.

The artist’s love for the old masters is manifested in his technique and his use of rich detail. one cannot help but think about old masters such as Arcimboldo, or the dutch paintings of still life.

Clear references to his Bulgarian origin are found in the rich splendor of color and form in the paintings of Ivan Illiev. The artist cannot, and will not deny a characteristic of the Bulgarian tradition: ornamentation. This may be found as a main theme in his paintings, and at the same time is an enduring component of his personal style.

I enjoy the factory-like process and the conflict of trying to convey nature through a regimented, more impersonal, assembly line system. Each rose and leaf is made of steel that is individually cut and welded together. My still life and garbage series are patinaed plastic castings of found objects I make molds of. Most of the items can be bought at the super market and I have chosen objects that are easily identifiable.

In her paintings, characters are seen as perfect figures, mannequins painted with excessive plasticity that strips away all traces of humanity, a sort of myth of the feminine archetype proposed by the world of advertising and fashion. From the portrait, the artist reveals the exacting way we contemporary women see prototype used by the mass media. Her work exhibits the portrait theme and manner of representation in the pictorial tradition, and then inserted to the contemporary scene, making characters in recognizable places of our everyday. The artist uses existing tools and techniques, as capital of photography, digital photomontage, audiovisual and visual linked to the mass media, which moves into the territory of painting plastic.

I create my own fiberglass cloth by crocheting continuous strands of fiberglass into flat geometric shapes.

These are formed and hardened with the application of polyester resin and the use of gravity. This work engages math as a structural foundation by utilizing the grid, the numbers Pi and e, and Pascal’s triangle. larger works are straight forward, more obvious, interpretations of each digit, while the source math in the small works is less evident, but all are a visual articulation of mathematics as a way to generate a random visual pattern through form and color distribution.

Page 73: ShowArtists Magazine Issue 6

Emerging Artist discovery Prize Competition Silver Award

“Etudes from Pi in 5 squared” is based on the first 25 digits of the infinite number pi. Sequence reads left to right, top to bottom. The grid organizes 25 units into 5 rows and 5 columns. The curved units alternate from convex to concave. Here, the value of the digit determines the depth of each individual unit. A unit representing digit 1 is 3.5” deep, pushing the curve out 2” for digit 2, then 2” for digit 3, and so on. The largest unit, representing the 9 digit, pushes out 19.5”.

The first two variations of hopefully a much larger series, Pi Charts utilize a traditional crochet format based on patterns created on a grid, where squares are either filled or left open. Using this charting system, “Pi Chart 32” articulates the first 32 digits of pi and “Pi Chart 39” the first 39. Each uses a different articulation system to reveal a different pattern.

I BECAME INTERESTED IN ART...
