Translucent Fruit Paintings by Dennis Wojtkiewicz

"In this series we look at the incredible, over-sized oil paintings of fruit by Ohio artist, Dennis Wojtkiewicz [voy-KEV-itch]. While the realism is impressive, it’s Wojtkiewicz’s use of light and translucence that allows each painting to take on a meditative quality."


The Gravity Glue of Michael Grab

"Gravity Glue was originally created as an outlet to share my experience in the art of stone balance. To share that which I have absolutely fallen in love with… Overwhelmingly positive response often inspires me to further explore and share the possibilities.

Through witnessing what this art has done for me personally over years of practice, my vision grows more and more to encourage others to seek their own “still-point” or inner silence. No-one but YOU is required to experience your divine nature. This art allows one to freely be themselves, manifesting their own particular vibrations into a 3D world.

Stone balance teaches the practitioner lessons through silence. The inner silence that one cultivates through balancing (or other meditative practice) is a foundation to realizing that each of us are as much one another as we ARE our entire universe. One gigantic symphony. and to apply a framework of “balance” to the earth-organism will be infinitely beneficial for the well-being of our children, as well as the diversity of life we co-exist with.."

Mike Davis...Hieronymus Bosch Reincarnate ?

"Davis is a self-taught painter who continues to render complex paintings of surrealist medieval life, embedded with symbols of mortality, folly, and hubris, fixated within whimsical compositions." 

 

The fOWL Works of John Pusateri

Councillor IV, pencil, charcoal, pastel, on archival digital print, 340 x 510 mm, 2012

"There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example—where had they gone? Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices" Rachel Carson  

 

"Reconstructing The Classics V" - Alexi Torres

"My works are an answer to my own appreciation of Earth's needs. I reconstruct iconic images that represent both classic and modern times from all branches of human development, including the arts, politics, science, education, and military. I create this by changing the context of the initial forms into ecological, fragile, ephemeral, and natural elements; leaves, weaving, feathers, and other elements formed in nature. With each element carefully constructed, I create an image."

 

Katz’s Deli : Closing Time - A Detailed Miniature Sculpture by Alan Wolfson

Alan Wolfson was commissioned to create Katz’s Deli: Closing Time , a fantastically detailed miniature sculpture of the legendary Katz’s Deli in New York City. In his statement he says his client “no longer lives in the city and wanted something that reminded him of the many times, when he was a boy, that he and his family had eaten at Katz’s.” You can see additional images of this sculpture and others by Wolson at his site.

The first time you see Dirk Dzimirsky’s hyperrealistic drawings, you’re convinced they’re black and white photographs. In fact, that’s the feeling you get when you see them for the hundredth time, they’re that good.

"I am constantly digging in dark places...looking for found objects and old surfaces on which to create my artwork. I routinely come across some pretty strange things-sometimes unearth some pretty rare paper items..."
