Transformation, Rebirth, Mortality, Sexuality, Chaos, the Other Side. These themes help progress my life upwards and out towards personal enlightenment. My work is abstract in nature, cosmic in appearance, and realistic in terms of approach. Trying to compare an earthly nature to a cosmic reality.

My work emphasizes several things. Color, line, and texture are the base idea behind every piece, and are the most important thing to me. There is a duality present- chaos and cleanliness merging, thought-out meticulous line work paired with random stream of consciousness flow, and a stark reality with tinges of a dreamtime within. The themes also focus on duality; both sides of an idea or a struggle. Struggles such as good vs. evil, man vs. machine, nature vs. mankind. The future is viewed in two ways, as a bleak shell devoid of life, or as a simpler Utopian affair where man and nature coexist.

I want to make art that people want in their homes, their sacred spaces, their places of work.

For many years I have liked the look of film stills, and my experience in animation has made me much more aware of how the single can represent the whole.
Conceptually the series has evolved, conveying more personal interpretations of the stills.The juxtaposition of personal memories on cinematic imagery is a theme that I am continuing to develop.
Splitting the frame into top and bottom is one of the most interesting aspects of the work. While making the subject matter more dynamic, it also represents the passage of time and more literally the film frames frozen between one and the next.

In his paintings, Benjamin Long has been combining images, often on separate panels, for many years. This aesthetic has been carried over into his recent photos, in which images are placed side by side into a panoramic-format picture wherein the individual elements relate to and support each other visually and conceptually. Using vintage cameras which require a slower, more thoughtful approach to photography, he shoots on various types of film: transparency, negative, and instant. His work is an ongoing effort to reconcile disparate elements such as structure and chance; personal information and an aesthetic connection to the viewer.

Art is everywhere including right in your own backyard. After purchasing a home in Florida, I began to collect palm frond boots that fell from the palm trees. These beautiful and unusually shaped fronds made the perfect "canvas" for my newest creations. My imagination goes wild with each unique frond. I have created many designs that include people, animals and flowers and this is just the beginning!

My current work includes paintings for the blind. I incorporate heavily textured surfaces with Braille which allows both children and the blind to touch the paintings without having to worry about damaging the works.

My brain is made of weird wavy warps, candy cartoon colors, & glowing globs of goo. I lucid dream & sing for my supper. I paint things that crawl, bite, float & flicker. I read my Bible, sci-fi paperbacks & graphic novels. I stare at tissue samples, fish tanks & natural disasters. I love listening to loud music while crawling around a messy canvas or laughing with my girl in a Jacuzzi in a storm.

Peter's work is a unique infusion of hip elegance and visual simplicity. A combination of Toulouse-Lautrec/Chéret, with a twist of contemporary fashion illustration.

My paintings are figurative in style, and both narrative and symbolic in content; my characters live in a world of heightened drama, solitude, introspection, and mortality: a depiction of life-changing secrets, beginnings or endings, uncertain identities. Distracting details are edited out, leaving it to the viewer to fill in the blanks and choose his or her own resolution.

Born on 19th June 1938 into a house of practicing artists in Kerala, India. Art is my only passion in life though it took a back seat while I dedicated my best years raising a family and working in advertising agencies. Now that my children are settled, I leads a relaxed, retired life in the peaceful town of Coimbatore. Today, I have once again taken up my paintbrush to pursue my interest in art.

What we are looking at is looking back at us. Be it another human being, an animal or a landscape, what we see is watching us too.
The familiar becomes foreign, the inoffensive becomes disturbing.
I explore this theme of the uncanny through spatial ambiguity, recurring patterns and graphic exuberance in alternance with architectural structures and blocks of color.
Something darker is creeping out from behind the seemingly normal scene. What we are looking at is neither absolutely friendly nor openly dangerous, it is both extremely familiar and bizarrely disturbing, a world where human, animal and mineral are strangely intertwined.

My artwork has always concentrated on the figure. I initially focused on the portrait to gain commissions but soon found a means to express myself. My portraits have become a metaphor for how I personally relate to the world. My most recent paintings have become increasingly reflective on my experiences moving to and living in New York City. These scenes are meant to communicate a transient feeling. The transience of relationships not only with places but also with people and their ever changing identities.

my work is about using less and creating a space the viewer can appreciate. i prefer a minimal approach in creating my work, mostly semetrical shapes, few colors, so i can guide my energy to the surface of the color fields, where i like to portrait the ever changing impact time and the elements have on a surface. making my own wood panels and stretching my canvases enables me to appreciate every material involved in the
painting process.
