    In this work I re-imagine myself and my friends as characters in a two-dimensional world. Some of the portraits are on oval boards, or incorporate an ornate frame, suggesting a sentimentalized vision of the subject, much like a cameo or an old photograph. Each image does not so much represent a friend as recall her, envisioning her in a timeless, reverent space. Painting a portrait allows me to distill into a single image innumerable experiences, thoughts and emotions that relate to a particular person. In this way the paintings are totems or avatars, portraits of gods from a personal mythology. More »

    I am interested in showing the difficulty and discomfort in fully understanding a person. I leave my subjects incomplete to highlight their limitations, as well as my own inability to see the subject beyond the influence of myself. More »

    Real and imagined, unseen or unrecognized universes coexist all around us. Sea creatures live in the deep ocean; bacteria live in the body; insects make a tiny home within a home; cells form structures to make a human. A small bit stands in for the greater whole, and exists perhaps without the knowledge of the larger piece. I have an interest in biomorphic shapes, pattern and fragile beauty. More »

    I play with paint, mixing brushes and knives to create the topography of gesture. What emerge from this experience are not abstractions, but realist paintings: vintage kitchen appliances, scrumptious trappings of weddings, modern Italian scenes. I am interested in re-contextualizing these subjects, conveying their iconic natures while displaying strong indications of their modernity. Everything I paint has an energy that I strive to bring to the surface through emphatic edges, vivid colors and heavily textured, gestural brush strokes. I live with my husband, Lee Goldberg and dog, Ringo in our Newton, NJ home. More »

    I was raised by a television in suburban America. One of my first memories is the colors of the cereal aisle flashing by as I rode in my mom's grocery cart I'm more likely to notice an ad on the side of the highway than the forest behind it. More »

    I started painting when i was kid, mostly monsters and explosions. Art gave me new meaning once again and renewed my vigor. Ever since i got into graffiti letters and typography has been a focus of much of my work. Though my love of typography and color i try to make deeply layered paintings that require more then just a glance to judge it. I do believe it is a pop cultural imprint of my generation.The things i have been painting for the lost couple of years i would classify as Modern pop art with a comic-graffiti twang. More »

    Episodic memories are the stories that define our lives. These memories are unpredictable; the big days fade into haze, while the smallest, most insignificant moments loom large and clear. We are left with a personal, scattered playlist of seconds. I paint these moments, these microcosms of memory, and turn them into modern icons. Some are dark, some are whimsical. Basically, I'm interested in the good bits. More »

    E. M. Jensen

    In his growth from youngling to older beast, Evan has been continually pressured to partake of the droll acceptance of things that most of the adult menagerie adopts. He refused then and refuses yet to partake of this dry and bitter outlook. In the formative years during adolescence and college, Evan determined that he would never divest himself of that instinct to frolic in the nature of the everyday. In his everyday, the most commonplace and forgotten moments would be as treasured and examined as the grandiose. And in his artwork, such wonder at the possibilities would be shown in its own right, or dragged kicking and screaming to be wonder for others via symbolic and fantastic imagery. More »

    Evan says "most would cringe at the idea of scratching or sanding something they spent hours painting, but that's my favorite art - creating the appearance that this wasn't made in the 21st century." And he's a self-taught artist, no less. You can view his work on his website at www.evanbharris.com, and you can buy prints online from Charmingwall. More »

    I have supported my art as a hairdresser for many years. Recently I have been working on a group of paintings based on the magazine clippings brought to me as proposals by my clients for the look they are going for when they come to my salon. More often than not the style is not really possible to recreate on the subject. Wrong length, wrong texture and wrong color…but to them, the photo of the model or actress is what they want to emulate and I do my best to transform them! I am calling the group Salon Girls. Prior to this group of paintings I had always stayed away from painting hair, opting to keep my bodies of work and working life separate. More »

    I am a 35 year old Dutch painter and illustrator who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. I graduated from the Minerva Art academy (Groningen, the Netherlands) in 2000. My work is made with acrylics and collage on old wooden surfaces like box lids, signs, cigar boxes etc. The materials I use tell part of the story through the stains, old nails,dents and cracks. The other part is told through all sorts of monsters, freaks and oddballs acting out my ideas, and hopefully spark a positive thought in you. More »

    People, their moods and interactions are an ongoing source of curiosity to me. What I'm searching for is their inner personalities, their thoughts and there are stories I build around them as I work. I like portraying feelings of people when they are alone, lost in their thoughts, caught unawares. Those are the special moments that appeal to me most. I love to experiment and use a variety of medium ranging from oil, charcoal, printmaking, clay to the digital medium but my focus remains fixed on the human form. More »
