Elsa Mora  a.k.a. Elsita


Cuban multi-disiplinary artist who creates illustrations, sculptures, jewellery, and paper cut outs.

"My name is Elsa Mora and my nickname is Elsita, but you can call me either way. I am a multimedia Artist currently living in Los Angeles, California, with my husband Bill and our two children.
I am one of eight children. All of us were born and raised in Holguin, a province in the island of Cuba. My birthday used to be on May 8 (of 1971) until I discovered that it was the wrong date. It turned out that I had actually been born a day after, on May 9. What happened was that my Mom liked May 8 better because it was Mother's Day the year when I was born.









But at age 16, the lady at the office where I was issuing my first ID told me the truth. My Dad, who's good at remembering small details like that, confirmed that the lady was right.
That incident did something interesting to my brain. It made me think that in the end I could be whoever I wanted to be.
I grew up poor, but poverty taught me a series of important lessons that I will always treasure. I learned that the most precious possession that you have is your mind. I also learned that creativity and imagination could solve any problem, weather it's a material problem or an emotional one.














My education took place in the Cuban public school system. I started walking to school by myself on the 4th grade. It was a long walk in an area full of delinquent and alcoholic people that hung out in the morning.


I saw these people deteriorate to the point where they looked like ghosts. Watching them taught me lots of things that I didn't learn at school, like the slow and devastating effect of losing control of your life.


But my life back then was also full of fascinating people. There are so many characters from my neighborhood that I remember with affection. One of the main things that I learned from them was the power of having a sense of humor. Sometimes when nothing seemed to solve my problems, humor did the trick. ... "

Jong Seok Yoon

Clothes are the place at which the vanity of humans who seek to distinguish oneself from others remain as well as where the desire of affirming one's own unique value intervenes.

Jong Suk Yoon’s dialogue with clothes is his way of expressing the problems of our society.
- shapes associated with them, the colors and patterns printed on them, the things he sees by listening to them, drawing out another existence hidden inside.

In a sculpting like manner he reproduces his forms with meticulous dots - using a syringe (a simple unit of minimal expression), like counting each strand of fabric, he 'weaves' the clothes with painted dots - playing between dot and shape. The clothes that were considered dead reincarnate upon being granted with new life.

The protruding dots create and show tactile embossed sculpture as they spread throughout the screen like a rash. It arouses the allurement of wanting to feel with hands. At the same time, these dots turn the image into abstract form.

A beast symbolizes instinct and desire. The clothes with brilliant flower patterns transform into the head of dog, lion, pig or sheep. The 'beast-like' desire hidden in the clothes rears its head. It barks. The uniform of soccer players also takes in the form of handgun. It is like the image association of from offense, shooting and charge towards the goal. The clothes/images he painted/printed tend to be aimed and shot at us or bark at us. They form aggressively inflated and chilling suspense. These soft clothes that are lifeless are aiming toward me.

Lim Young Sun presents the Tibetan children’s innocent and healthy face to us as a gift. Her works are not merely narrative documentaries on Tibetan lives and customs but an aspiration to remind us of our original face and mind that we had in the beginning, but lost while on the track of contemporary life. These works are the product of artist’s confession after experiencing the innocent face that we originally had. And without letting the children be aware of the fact that the artist is introducing a space for dreams, she quietly supports them to bring out their beautiful daily lives as it is. Dream and reality are not one’s choice. Hope is not in a place out of reality, but it is in present. For someone’s space of dreams and yearning is a space of survival and reality for someone else. However, these two different spaces intermix and absorb with each other, letting another new place of hope to appear between dream and reality.

Wayne French




"All my life has been spent in and around the coastline of NSW Australia, I have been painting on and off since childhood and professionally for 5 years, as an artist I feel there is so much more to learn and love the journey of learning new techniques in creating my works. It comes very natural for me to want to express the energy, moods of the ocean, clouds and wave movement via the brush. I am intrigued in the colours, shades and transparency that constantly changes in the ocean, and as a keen surfer these can be up close and very personable. The whole experience of capturing the power or serenity of this enviroment poses different challenges as does the expression through surrealism, impressionism or traditional approaches. There is just so much going on above and below the ocean and I guess as an artist for me the challenge is to express this creation as I see and feel it, I hope you enjoy my expressions ".


Wayne French






"Wayne has exhibited in New Caledonia, worked and painted in Sweden, participates in group and solo exhibitions and has sold work through various galleries, his work was selected and published in 'Worlds best landscape artists book" as well as featured in numerous press and magazine publications.

Born in 1972, Korea

Education
2008 B.F.A in Oriental Painting at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea



Since I was little, I have had drawers in my desk. In each drawer I organize each object by its characteristics. It is like assigning a position for each object. The similarity of objects is decided by their size, usage, or importance. All immaterial and material objects that exist in the world have their own place for their characteristics, and even the ambiguous objects can be created by the user as a new group by means of their roles or usage. I keep searching for the meaning of the individual and the whole in diverse areas by expressing the abstract meaning of the memory collection though drawers or vessels. I have been interested in and been working on assembling a manifold of meanings.



Jung Hai Yun is a visual artist. Jung Hai Yun has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Gana Art Busan.

Louise Hearman

When an artist concentrates so strongly on elements of reality, they become hyper-real. This is the method used by a filmmakers such as David Lynch. In Blue Velvet, he turns an ordinary American town into a scene of Gothic menace, focusing on the amplified crunching of insects in suburban lawns or a severed ear lying in the grass. Hearmans paintings can be very Lynch-like in the way she depicts unassuming locations such as a park, a pond, a street or the side of a road, and then introduces a disturbing element.. Her work is distinguished by a very sure and confident touch, even in the smallest details: a patch of light on a cheek or nose, or a glint in an animals eye. In the manner of the greatest painters of the past, Hearman sees light as the key to all forms of painterly expression.

John McDonald, Mistress of Epiphanies, The Australian Financial Review Magazine, March 2004


Louise Hearman (born 1963) is an artist from Melbourne who has been painting and drawing from a very young age. She attended Victorian College of the Arts from 1982-1984. She mostly paints with oil on masonite, though she does work with pastel and charcoal from time to time.

She first came to public notice in 1986 when she spent a year painting a mural on the inside of the concrete dome of the old gymnasium at the Missions to Seamen building in Flinders Street in Melbourne. The premises also served as her studio at that time.

In 1991 her work was exhibited at Australian National University's Drill Hall Gallery in a solo show, "The corpreal body", whilst in 1993 she was chosen by the curators for that year's Australia Perspecta exhibition. Her work next gained recognition through an appearance on the short-list for the 1999 Contempora 5 award, whilst in both 2000 and 2005 she was exhibited at the National Gallery of Australia; in 2000 appearing in the "Uncommon World; Aspects of Contemporary Australian Art" exhibition which ran from 15 July until 22 Oct; and in 2005 within the "Big Spooks" exhibition. In 2007 her piece Untitled #1158 was chosen for exhibition as part of the city of Sydney's Open Gallery exhibition, which described the roster of artists chosen as representing "leading Australian and international artists".



Hearman’s works are characterised by surreal juxtapositions, eerie light, and strong emotive emphasis. There are recurring themes of floating heads (both of the human and animal kind), sleek aeroplanes, floral close-ups, and limitless roads. Hearman is particularly vague about the meanings of her works, preferring to let the viewers make their own interpretations. This is why she leaves all her works untitled.

"I'm an Oil painter living in the the Pee Dee region of South Carolina - Darlington County - Hartsville

“My work explores the deep connection that food has with humanity. I find the subtle and yet not so subtle power it possesses fascinating, The main focus of my work is to capture this deep connection. My paintings delve into the complicated and curious relationship that we have developed with food throughout our existence. Food has a direct link to our survival and has bound its roots deep within our cultures, societies, and families. It’s everywhere we go and it has worked itself into a pinnacle part of our everyday lives. It's like a language really because we charge it with so many connotations and meanings. The smell can take you back to a time long ago, the sound of things like bacon frying in a pan can perk you up in the morning, and the sight alone can make your mouth start salivating. Food has great power over us and I'm interested in showing this power in my work. I want the viewer to be confronted by these lofty monstrosities of food and ponder their own relationship with the food that they eat.
I have been asked recently why do I so often paint food. I say the food paintings evolved from painting small one day paintings, which I started to hone my skills. I just painted something everyday, which led to food. They were a very fresh subject, and the shapes, colors, and textures, were exciting to me. People started telling me that the paintings would make them hungry and that they craved the food. I found it interesting how the brain triggers hunger and I like the associations food is charged with: nostalgia, comfort, traditions etc. as well as imagery that is mundane and elevating it to art. I believe the manner and style of the work is driven by the imagery and the way my process evolved."

David Salle






David Salle (born 1952) is an American painter who helped define postmodern sensibility by combining figuration with a varied pictorial language of multi-imagery. Major exhibitions of his work have taken place at the Whitney Museum of American Art] in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Castello di Rivoli (Torino, Italy), and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. In March 2009 a group of fifteen paintings were shown at the Kestnergesellschaft Museum in Hannover, Germany. That same year Salle's work was also featured in an exhibition titled The Pictures Generation curated by Douglas Eklund at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York , in which his work was shown amongst a number of his contemporaries including Richard Prince, Sherrie Levine, Cindy Sherman, Nancy Dwyer, Robert Longo, Thomas Lawson, Charles Clough and Michael Zwack.
Salle was born in Norman, Oklahoma. He earned a BFA and MFA from the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied with John Baldessari. Salle’s work first came to public attention in New York in the early 1980s.
His paintings comprise what appear to be randomly juxtaposed images, or images painted on top of each other with deliberately ham-fisted paint handling. At a 2005 lecture, Salle stated:
When I came to New York in the 70s, it was common not to expect to be able to live from your art. I had very little idea about galleries or the business side of the art world. It all seemed pretty distant. When people started paying attention to my work, it seemed so unlikely that somehow it wasn't so remarkable. I made my work for a small audience of friends, other artists mostly, and that has not really changed. At the same time, having shows is a way of seeing if the work resonates with anyone else. Having that response, something coming back to you from the way the work is received in the world, can be important for your development as an artist. But you have to take it with healthy skepticism... I still spend most days in my studio, alone, and whatever happens flows from that.
David Salle also turned his hand to set and costume design, and to directing mainstream cinema. In 1986, Salle received a Guggenheim Fellowship for theater design, and in 1995 he directed the feature film, Search and Destroy, starring Griffin Dunne and Christopher Walken . He is a longtime collaborator with the choreographer Karole Armitage as he designs sets and costumes for many of her ballets .
David Salle currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Born in Hamilton in 1977. Lives and works in New York. Paul P. is a painter and draughtsperson whose exquisite landscape and figurative work has equal roots in late-19th-century aestheticism and gay pornography. P. was raised in Mississauga and studied at York University; as a student, he was a studio assistant for artist Stephen Andrews, and began using gay porn as a life-drawing reference. He exhibited his first portraits of young men, many faces from these porn magazines, in 2001. In 2003, he made his New York solo-show debut at Daniel Reich Gallery, and in 2006, relocated to Paris for several years. Recent oil paintings recall the gauzy, abstracted vistas of James McNeill Whistler and the European Symbolists. P.’s work is in the collections of, among others, the Museum of Modern Art and the Art Gallery of Ontario. -

Francis Upritchard





Francis Upritchard was born in 1976 in New Plymouth, New Zealand. She graduated from Canterbury University of Fine Arts in 1998. That same year she moved to the UK where she lives and works.

In December 2001 the Bart Wells Institute was established by Luke Gottelier and Francis Upritchard in a large squat in East London. The Bart Wells Institute ran for about two years and exhibitions were curated by artists including Sam Basu, Brian Griffiths, David Thorpe and Harry Pye.

Upritchard was short-listed for the Becks Futures prize for an exhibition she made 2003 Save Yourself, a small mummy surrounded by funerary urns which lies on the gallery floor vibrating and moaning. A packet of cigarettes is tucked into its bandages, and a single glass eye can also be seen.

In 2005 Upritchard had simultaneous shows in the Andrea Rosen Gallery and Salon 94. The sculpture Torcello, Balata Figures and a selection of found objects were arranged over two large plinths. Sculptures of sloths, monkeys, orrerys and rocks. In 2005 she also won New Zealand's Walters Prize for art, after being shortlisted for her Artspace show Doomed Doomed All Doomed in 2005

It was announced in 2008 that Upritchard, along with Judy Millar, would be New Zealand's representatives at the 2009 Venice Biennale.Upritchard's installation was entitled Save Yourself. This was Upritchards first major installation of furniture with figures. Across thee rooms in Fondazione Claudio Buziol Palazzo, 3 over sized tables which made up the works Long, Lonely and Dancers, with a mix of references including psychedelic culture, hippies, Pieter Bruegel the elder and Erasmus Grasser

In the 2009 show Feierabend at Kate Macgarry, Upritchard showed with the jewellery designer Karl Fritsch and furniture designer Martino Gamper. The show blended craft, design and fine art in a seamless way, to a point where the viewer became unsure of the authorship of each work. Gesumptkunsthandwerk at the Govett Brewster in the show ‘Stealing the Senses’ was a further exploration of this collaboration. The show was shown again later at Hamish McKay gallery in Wellington. This show included ceramics and bronzes made together by Fritsch Gamper and Upritchard, alongside sculptures and lamps by Upritchard, rings and ornaments by Fritch, furniture and bowls by Gamper

Upritchards first solo museum show in 2009 in Europe was at the Vienna Secession called In die Höhle (into the Cave). The show included works combining furniture and figurative sculptures referencing Sol LeWitt, Gustav Klimt, Beethoven Frieze and Weiner Werkstatte. Her second, at Nottingham Contemporary in 2012 was called A Hand Of Cards. Also in 2012 she showed at Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Centre, a show called, A Long Wait. In 2013 Upritchard's show Poato Poem  will show in MIMOCA museum in Marugame, Japan.

Francis Upritchard is represented in the UK by Kate Macgarry and in New Zealand by Ivan Anthony Gallery.

Jean Baptiste


I was born on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia in 1963. I grew up close to the water. The Caribbean sea served as the greatest playground. Although I reside in Canada today, I still hear her waves calling to me.

I am inspired by natures heavenly designs and colours. The modern world is changing very quickly with global warming and so I wish to catch a moment in time. I wish that by painting nature I can make the public aware of its delicate priceless value.


have been a self taught artist form the age of 5. It is my belief that art is the ultimate self expression, and since there are no rules in creating, why not just jump into the river of discovery. The most exciting moments are when a mistake leads to a new form.
