Holly The Terrible is a lowbrow pop-surrealist artist who dabbles with a bit of everything, but her main focus is acrylic painting. She has wanted to make her living as an artist since when she was in high school. Fearing that she wasn't really good at much else she had to pick something to focus the rest of her life on. Much of her work revolves around the relationships between people and nature.

I make pseudo-religious pop-political paintings. I want to make art for the masses that can be enjoyed by both the New Yorker reader as well as the Wal-Mart shopper.

My work is my way of meditation, a way of slowing down time though the careful observation of overlooked slices of my environment and the subtlety of the life and emotion of my acquaintances that inhabit the aforementioned environment. My paintings strive for reality, to mimic life in the scale and complexity of the subject being depicted so that the viewer is given a first person eyelevel perspective of the subject. A perspective that is unbiased and presents a figure’s raw condition or the grittiness of graffiti weathered alley walls in Brooklyn. It is my intent to control the medium of oil paint so that it is not part of the viewer to subject equation. (partial)

At the age of three, you might have found Robert sitting in front of his blackboard, careful drawing dozens of parallel white lines with the side of a chalk. This was Robert's first painting; the side panel of an air conditioner.
Since then, he's taken inspiration from discarded photographs, comic books, cartoons, films, and real life. He lives with his wife and daughter in Los Angeles, California.

He eats alot of Asian food and thinks that might be affecting his artwork lately.
An avid bicycler, Mr. Kheel finds inspiration in the natural world, particularly in an urban setting.

Art does not need to be deep. If I like a subject, I paint it. If I like a color, I use it.
Art is a way of expressing life's complexities AND simplicities.

I'm interested in colors, shapes and textures. I like art to evoke or provoke a certain feeling or ambiance for the viewer, whatever it may be. Inspirations are: birds chirping late at night, swimming pools, thrift stores, kicking rocks and pushing shopping carts together.

I am an individualist anarchist and a hedonist with a misanthropic twist. This is not a general state, but rather what I've found to suit my current environment. My philosophy has shifted from determinism to nihilism and I currently live my life according to my Theory Against Theory.

I mainly use line, pattern, and repetition to craft my many messages into tangible artistic expressions. Currently, my creative aventures have been bringing me towards working with human socio/psychological issues, such as sexuality, morality, and obsession. Each piece has many meanings to reflect the different faces of the human psyche. My newest project revolves around a set of mixed media paintings which depict various American serial killers. This series will discuss America's obsession with these dark figures (how we glorify them), and it will act as a catalyst between the construction of moral/social taboos and the desensitization of American youth culture.

My work is based on scenes from daily life and is, for me, about drawing out the narrative and creating an image that communicates with the viewer in a visceral way. Art is always about making that contact and, hopefully, inspiring people to see more of themselves and the world around them.

Painter and writer. Much of my work is dark and I tend to use a lot of water imagery. I have formal training and firmly believe in understanding the rules before they are broken. When others see butterflies and flowers, I see moths and thistles…but I try to add elements of love, compassion, hope, and humor to a good amount of my work.

An illustrator and graphic designer for over three decades, I have recently returned to the brush and canvas to rediscover my fine art roots. My paintings range from whimsical to serious, abstract to objective - you can see the "commercial/design" influence in all. "Fresh art for home and office" seems to sum up what I create. I invite you to explore my online gallery.

Life surrounds us with shapes, surfaces and sound. Movement is the medium that allows us, as
artists, to perceive art as a an opportunity to transform life into still emotion. The environment is subjective to ourselves, because we are actors that make our own stage when playing. We just happen to tell others our story about reality.

The name of the series from which these pieces come is called "Place". My obsession with abandoned homes, offices and industrial buildings combined with the current real estate crisis has provided inspiration.
Once I get these images out of my system I will return to my plein air work in the NJ and PA countryside.

Connie Rice considers making art the same way she considers breathing, eating, walking: she has been doing it since before she can remember and creativity is a basic part of her existence. Her education comes from art school, voracious reading, and many interesting years spent as an
artists' model. She paints with oil or acrylic on canvas, sometimes incorporates mixed media, and portrays the many facets of nature, human and otherwise.

My goal is to create calm, beautiful, and sometimes depressing scenes, atop an undercurrent of confusion, rage, terror, fascination, love, wonder, and even jest - all based upon a random combination of obvious themes, and obscured meanings - for others to interpret, or project, as they will.
No matter the concept, or the underlying meaning, I present a great amount of activity, drama, and even chaos, in the most tranquil and serene settings and poses - I aim for each piece to present something new to each viewer with each and every day.
