By globalvernissage on July 12, 2012, in Paintings
Agnes Boulloche was born in Paris, she spent her childhood in Morocco. These young years in North Africa made Agnes a legend and Djinn connoisseur, a lover of the uncanny. Back in Paris in the Sixties, she was a student at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, in the followed years, she entirely concentrated on oil painting on wood panels using the old “glaze” technique which consist in superimposing thin transparent layers of colours and makes it possible to combine fine strokes and luminous tints. She also uses various alchemical formulas to create her own pigments, mediums and varnishes.

Oil on Canvas by Dominique Hoffer
By globalvernissage on July 12, 2012, in Paintings
At first, I am working as a professional pilot for various swiss and south african airlines (1972-1988). In 1988, I quit cockpits and dedicate myself to painting. Oil on canvas has become my tool very soon. I like to figure strange, unusual, poetic situations and atmospheres, including these four elements, most of the time : Nature, characters, animals and objects. All elements are figured in a realistic manner, but in an unreal collection.

Art Work by David Lloyd Glover
By globalvernissage on July 3, 2012, in Paintings
John Lennon
Let there be light and DAVID LLOYD GLOVER will find it. A prolific painter, David uses the difficult medium of water-colour and deftly achieves a multi-layered emotional — and for some, transcendental experience. White light, if you will, becomes the portrait path of self- exploration and fulfilment and the illumination of truth and echoes of eternity are shared by both artist and audience.
Glover’s paintings are on 300lb, T.H. Saunders, Waterford-series cold pressed paper. Always, a detailed under drawing is executed in 2B pencil which is a discipline learned from Illustrating. He uses Winsor & Newton transparent water-colours and Winsor & Newton brushes as he believes that superior quality materials is so important when marketing your work through top level fine art galleries.

The Digital Art Work of Cindy Grundsten
By globalvernissage on June 23, 2012, in Graphic Design
My main interest is to create. In my years, I have created different things. I have worked among others with clay during a period. And I have created beautiful floral arrangements with dried flowers. I have also sewn vintage decorative teddy bears at one time. When I was a little girl I drew all day long. So when I look back on my life I have always loved to create in any form. Later in life, I have found happiness in creating images. I wish I could draw and paint freehand. It would be a dream. But there I have a lot to learn. So my way of creating images is through photo manipulation.
Probably everyone knows what photo manipulation means. But for those who are not familiar with the subject I’ll explain a little fast. When I start a new artwork I need many different photographs. I mostly get my source images from image banks. To create a background, I worked on several photos. I mix up the photos into a single image by using the various ways in my imaging software Photoshop. I pick also details from photos that I put in my art work. The hardest thing is to fuse all the details in a good way so that everything looks consistent out. It should look like that all the details I have built up the image actually belong to the image.

Painting Title: RED MAX – Racing Monza -
Sir Stirling Moss made the point, that he wasn’t a natural driver, in his opinion, having to work very hard to be fast. On the other hand he believed drivers like Nuvolari, Fangio and Senna were naturals. What set these individuals apart was that they possessed a gift, an instinct for driving very fast. This is also true for artists in their painting. I think most people with training would achieve some skill in drawing but I agree with Moss, there are naturally gifted artists, instinctively able to achieve results that some would spend a lifetime trying.
My parents providing me with my first oil paints, brushes canvas etc. on my eighth birthday and I’ve been painting off and on for 50 plus years, being much more serious in the last 15 or so. I can even remember my first painting entitled the Lonely Tree. On completion I noticed that the tree had depth, visually 3D but I didn’t understand why? I soon realized that the balance, proportion, perspective and lighting are all equally of importance and giving the final elusion of depth and volume to the composition.
