Phuong Quoc Tri






“The most desirable thing I want in my life is to paint”, says Phuong Quoc Tri.














1976: Born in Phan Rang, Central Vietnam

1988: Left his hometown at the age of 12 for Saigon where he managed to earn a living and continued going to school.

Learn to paint with his father and his uncle – they are also artists.

Not only is he a painter, but also a skillful sculptor.







Phuong Quoc Tri was born in Phan Rang, a small town in the south of central Vietnam. He has been attached to this small town for over 30 years now, since the first day he saw light in this big world. Tri learned the art of painting in his very tender years, from his father and uncle who were making ends meet by teaching art to local people. Like many people in the South of Vietnam after the end of the war , his father and uncle could not find permanent jobs that fit their professional training. They had to make do with running casual art classes and doing graphic paintings for a living. They did not know at that time that their daily work opened a whole new world to young Tri.



Right form the beginning, Tri knew that he wanted to paint, and that passion has never died in him. It may be because of his unique childhood surroundings that Tri has developed a special interest in women, especially nude women, and children --- the people that he met very often when learning art from his father and uncle or helping them to complete their graphic works. They are his neighbors and their children, his relatives and strangers whom he met at the local market. It looks like he wants to enrich his life in his small town by meeting and conversing with as many people as possible on his canvas.



Tri's works always extrude softness and warmth. Like Tri, his characters seem to be very introvert, deep in thoughts and in conversation to themselves. The stillness of his paintings is further promoted by Tri's skillful use of light brown color and milk white color. It is this feeling of calmness that make us want to learn more about them, either through talking to them or simply looking at them.



Like many Vietnamese masters of art , such as Pham Luan and Co Chu Pin, Tri did not have the opportunity to receive professional training from an art university. However, the skills he got from those very close to his heart and the lessons he has gathered from life in a small town have enabled him to travel far in his journey to the art world. The boy from that small town may have grown up, occupied with millions of small and routine things, but his childhood dream of exploring the infinite internal world of people has never died.

BUI HUU HUNG



1957 Born in Hanoi, Vietnam
Graduated from Hanoi Fine Arts University
1975 Studied lacquer painting with lacquer Artists at traditional workshops
1986 Set up Nha San studio in Hanoi Member of the Vietnam Fine Art Association
1996 Member of International Association of Lacquer Painters.


Bui Huu Hung was born in Hanoi in 1957. He graduated from the Hanoi Fine Arts University in 1975 and began his study of traditional lacquer techniques after graduation. In 1986, he established the Nha Son Studio in Hanoi. The studio, located in a traditional wooden house on stilts, is home to a number of young lacquer artists who share the work space while developing their own styles.

Hung’s works are varied but center around a common theme of recollection. He believes that new events, impressions and knowledge are built upon life’s historical foundations. He strives to preserve the past by blending it with present day elements so that “it does not become reduced to lifeless words without visual detail”.

Hung’s works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. His works are in the permanent collections of the Orient Museum of Russia, the Singapore Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum in Melbourne. “If a picture is worth a thousand words, Bui Huu Hung’s haunting paintings tell a hundred stories.” Heritage Magazine, August 1998

Vu Thu Hien


1970: Born in Bat Trang village near Hanoi


1993: Graduated Hanoi Academy of Fine Arts

1994 – 2000: Exhibited and received awards in Hanoi and National Fine Arts Exhibitions

Member of Vietnam Association of Fine Arts
Work by Vu Thu Hien has been archived by the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum.

Vu Thu Hien’s watercolours are delicate, dreamlike, and at times haunting. Many of her paintings refer to the soul, to spirits and the afterlife. Her traditionally clothed figures are mysterious and real at the same time and are often embodiments of the spirits that influence human lives. Hien paints on dzo paper, made from mulberry bark, which is fragile and durable at the same time. Used by Vietnam’s ethnic minorities for altar paintings or inscribing Buddhist sutras, it is the perfect medium for Hien’s deeply spiritual art. Vu Thu Hien was born in Bat Trang village near Hanoi in 1970.

She has won a number of Vietnamese art awards and has exhibited her work in Vietnam, the United States, Thailand, the Netherlands, Italy, Israel and England.

Le Tran Anh Tuan


"Le Tran Anh Tuan’s lyrical canvasses portray a world that stands between reality and dreams, charged with the energy of the young generation in contemporary Vietnamese society. Tuan expresses a perpetual contradiction between Vietnamese youth’s impatience to grow up and absorb a Western lifestyle, and their elders’ inability to accept their own values being questioned."

Zhang LiuFeng

painter and printmaker

Mr. Zhang Liufeng's art works are characterized by a very distinctive style. These lithographs have an atmosphere of its own. The people that are shown in such series like "Fortress Besieged" look so real but somehow lost and left alone. For us at artelino these images are still not yet interpreted. But they have a mesmerizing charm that is hard to describe.







Artist Career

Mr. Zhang Liu Feng was born in 1979 in Luyi city of Henan province in China. His talent for the fine arts was discovered at an early age. He received the opportunity to attend a high school that was attached to CNAFA (Chinese National Academy of Fine Arts).

After his graduation he continued his art studies at the printmaking department of Tianjing Fine Arts Academy. This Academy has a good reputation for its competence in printmaking. Zhang Liufeng studied lithography with famous printmaker Mr. Chen Jiuru.

Seven years later he received his master degree at Tianjing Fine Arts Academy. Currently Mr. Zhang Liufeng works as an art teacher at the Fine Arts Institute of Hangzhou University.

He is a member of Chinese Artists Association.


"As an artist, I think he must love life and know life. In this way, an artist can find interesting things from common life. And with his visionary feelings and emotional experiences, he can make a good composition of a painting."
"Only when he loves life, he can easily be touched by his surroundings. He will have a strong desire to express what he loves. And his paintings will touch the audience. One of my favorite printmakers, Rockwell Kent said: "The highest intention of art is to make people better understand life and love."

Claudio Composti - New Horizons


The twenty-first century has already begun. We are at a turning point. The Internet has created a sharp split with the previous generations. The research has opened up possibilities never before thought of using new materials. The aesthetic has found new forms and definitions. The relationship with the Nature has forced a heavy awareness,understanding that the city can no longer be considered only "the place where we live, but it's something alive and changing, which reflects the collective consciousness, a reflection of culture and lifestyles of those living the city, poised between a past, to be protected and recover, and an innovation that improves the quality of life in our homes, thanks to the emergence of sciences such as home-automation. We attend a completely new approach in thinking about the relationship between cities and green (think of the hanging gardens, and the so-called, "vertical-green"). Recent the news that in China it's going to be built the largest megacities in the world: 42 million inhabitants! But how is changed, today, architecture and vision of the city? New shapes are looming on the horizon. The city will be built increasingly on the needs of the individual, careful to turn into a new culture based on ecological and ergonomic style of the wellness. The 12th Biennale of Architecture in Venice has been focused on the idea of reconsidering the potential of architecture in contemporary society. The architect Kazuyo Sejima, director of the Architecture Biennale argues that: "... it is the responsibility of our profession (as architects) to use the"space "as a means by which to formulate our thinking. Fundamental becomes the relationship with the persons, who will be living architecture. This is because the "space" is not exclusively designed by architects. Who lives the building has a fundamental role, since it has the function to determine the practicality of the building and the possibility to participate in the creative process, with the needs that it expects to see fulfilled: today the man does not live longer only the house, built and that's that,but now is the house that is built thinking of the man who will dwell it. You come back, necessarily, to a "humanism of living", "understood as culture of human dignity and of his wellness and the Architecture is a wonderful medium,to express it.


From the catalogue of the exhibition Nuovi orizzonti Walter Trecchi 2001-2011, San Pietro in Atrio, Como, 2011













In Walter Trecchi’s works, the city becomes a metaphysical space, motionless but full of experienced traces, suspended in a time without time.

Historical buildings and urban outskirts, industrial archaeologies become crocks of which remain only walls in ruin. Perspective shots in which man is absent but cranes and scaffoldings leant on facades testify the positive will of making.

Jieun Park


I love to travel. Traveling to me, is an act that simultaneously brings different emotions such as excitement and loneliness. My works show images of the places where I actually visited, so that I am allowed to express various emotions and the moments that I physically experienced through the journey.

The cityscapes in my works feel very dull, yet there is something that shines through.
There are no signs of people living in the beautiful cities in my works. Although the city is packed with so many different kinds of buildings, it arouses a feeling of loneliness when I look at the complex city

The city is changing very fast while we are living our busy lives. The dull feeling of the buildings in my works portraits the people in hectic daily life where only meaningless everyday conversation exists.













What I try to express through my works are the emotions that I felt at the specific moments during the journey. I remember how I was emotionally overwhelmed and felt lonely by looking down at the city from on high.

My personal feelings are described as under-painted ink marks which are instinctively spreaded and dropped on the surface. As I create relatively realistic images of the city within the abstract ink marks, I try to record ourselves in this fast changing city and its double sidedness where colorful impression coexists with loneliness.

First of all, I draw above all for myself. I work a lot, I put my hands on every painting techniques.

I experience and acquire more technical abilities. Slowly, I reach the second important step of my professional path. I make the decision to focus on painting only. This is how Wiktor Najbor was born. It was 21 years ago in Cracow.

Then, I also learnt a lot from friends, who are painters. Among them, the brothers Karpowicz and Krzysztof Chwirot. Their professionalism, experience and support matter a lot to me and are extremely motivating.











I reached my first artistic success in Geneva, where I lived and worked for 2 years. Once I came back to Poland, I was not only enriched from my experience but also convinced that painting was my vocation.

I have been following this path so far. In the meantime, I participated to several group and individual exhibitions and today I have finally my own art gallery.

Victor Alan Herbert




Victor’s family were evacuated from London to Leicestershire, where he was born in 1944. From an early age, it became clear that he was very imaginative and creative. By the age of nine he had undertaken his first commissions, a picture of ‘Launde Abbey’ (oil on paper) and a painting of a bull (oil on glass) for the local butcher.

Through the RAF, he gained a scholarship to Loughborough College School, to specialise in Art, where he boarded until the age of eighteen. After graduating from Loughborough College of Art and Design, he was invited to attend the Royal College of Art (RCA) in 1965. He left the RCA with a first-class honours degree and their medal for ‘work of special distinction’.

During his time at the RCA he was known to infiltrate many of the specialist departments in his quest to create a range of fashion designs that used neither patterns nor stitching. The resulting products made instant headlines, which led to the designs being shown at the “Body Covering” Exhibition at New York’s Museum of Contemporary Crafts. This paved the way for a two-pronged career

On the one hand, he was designing for some of the world class fashion houses, including ‘Joseph’ and ‘Marithe & Francois Girbaud’, while dressing celebrities like Terrance Stamp, Peter Sellers, Britt Ekland, Anthony Andrews, Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John, Sir Cliff Richard’, Bill Wyman, Selina Scott and Lady Diana Spencer.

At the same time, the other part of his career saw him creating innovative ideas and solutions for other industries. These included footwear, underwear, hosiery, sports equipment, yarns and fibres, plastics, retail stores, media and television.
In 1980 he won the “Designer of the Year” award at a ceremony, which was televised.

Victor’s approach to his work has always been consistent, his philosophy being ‘to make something out of the ordinary, out-of-the ordinary’. His exceptional drawing skills have enabled him to communicate his ideas to a wide ranging international audience. Once his energies could be channelled away from commerce, it was inevitable that he would return to his “Art” and now, consumed by new ideas, he is painting again in his distinctive, figurative style.

DON'T DREAM A DREAM, LIVE A DREAM
AND LET REALITY SLEEP
Eyvo Johnson

As an artist, I find difficult to answer: is it I who defines painting or is it painting that defines me... Either way, it is both a transpersonal and a narcissistic relationship.

The process of painting creates a state of Liminality, which leads to the discovery of my own essence. It is like writing a fable, one without words and one that is rather suggestive in nature. In that progression, I forget all that I know, for originality can only be achieved by reaching into my infinite possibilities. The abstract mechanics of art are same as making music, where the musician by use of an instrument transcends the process of playing; a painter transcends the limitation of medium, thus creating work that can produce an emotional response.

And when that happens, art completes life, bringing to focus what nature cannot bring to finish.

Born in Poland, in the historic town of Brzeg, Andrzej grew up during the years of political oppression and era of communist Poland. There he attended the School for the Arts and Literature. In 1984, Andrzej moved to New York and continued his education at the School for the Arts at Jersey City State University, where he received a BFA in painting. He then moved to Philadelphia and, in 1994, received a Master's Degree and Honorary Award from the University of Pennsylvania in the field of Urban Architecture.

Andrzej's artistic direction began to take shape after integrating Eastern spirituality into his artwork. Overtime, his paintings began to suggest, by the simplest possible means, the inherent nature of the aesthetic object. In his work, the job of the artist is to suggest the essence, the eternal qualities of his subject. His recent paintings have become Cosmocentric and see man and art as an integral part of nature.

Andrzej's artistic philosophy led him to resume his academic work at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco where, in 2011, he received a Masters in Integral Psychology and a certification in Expressive Art Therapy.

Living in the Bay Area since 1994, Andrzej has a broad creative practice. He is a freelance designer, teacher and expressive arts therapist. Many private collectors throughout the United States have acquired his work. His paintings are exhibited and represented in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Boston, Paris, London and Hong Kong

Lives in Warsaw











Zbigniew Rogalski is a painter, or rather a director of paintings, as he moves with great ease both in the regions of painting and photography, mixing them and taking advantage of both disciplines. Reflexes, after-images, film stills and photographs all overlap the image of reality, as if in a specially constructed optic machine which retains on the surface of the canvas the emotions and meanings which normally are no more permanent than a drawing on a steamed-up glass. A number of his works allude to the classic genres of painting, such as portrait or landscape. However, by interweaving different clichés and conventions of representation, Rogalski is led to surprisingly essential painterly solutions which make the tradition of this medium interesting again. He succeeds in restoring a visionary element in painting and does it in a very suggestive manner. The surface of the painting becomes for a short while a screen on which the obsessions, fear and revelations of our consciousness are being displayed. This is first and foremost the painting of imagination. It does allow for a non-reflective consumption of the visual world, but continuously leads us to the final and elusive matters. Sometimes it is beautiful, sometimes it is scary, but there are moments, as in the paintings from the "Death of Partisan" series, that these two emotions blend into one.
