“When I was very young, I was taken to the 'Bowes' Museum in the north of England. They had a huge collection of etchings and I was immediately struck with the fine detail, that was what I wanted to do.”

Always interested in art and medieval history, tapestries and illuminated manuscripts. Anne spent most of her spare time visiting museums, stately homes and castles. Hadrian had built his wall round the corner from where she lived, although a little earlier, in the 1st century AD.

Anne finds the writing of 12th century authors like Chaucer illuminating. 'Canterbury Tales' and 16th century Cervantes 'Don Quixote' were inspiration for a series of hand coloured etchings using the same name.

The opera is now a major influence. Wonderfully graphic and visually stimulating, many of Anne's etchings and paintings are based on librettos from different operas. Using her own interpretation, Anne leaves the original story behind and develops the characters' lives in her own way. ('Love and the Opera. Based partly on characters from 'Madama Butterfly' and partly from 'Tales of Hoffman')

In 2000, Anne was invited to have a solo exhibition in Japan. An opportunity to see the Japanese artist Munakata's work and to add to her collection of Japanese silks.

With more recent painting trips to France, Vietnam and Burma, each country will inspire her to create the next series of paintings and etchings. 



















Born U.K. Arrived in Australia in 1971.
Since 1998 Anne Smith has been collaborating with Wendy Sharpe, Garry Shead, Bernard Ollis and Alan Peascod on series of their etchings.

Sculpture in stoneware and porcelain. In creating my own combination of fine art and sculpture, I use carefully developed blends of different clays to achieve my objective. Much of my inspiration comes from elements of mythology and a keen sense of history. Combining these factors, I incorporate in my work a sense of timelessness in an imaginary parallel world. The fragmented representations of times past can now exist in a contemporary state of flux, and the viewer can feel at ease with his or her own interpretation of each piece.

Examples of my sculpture are in private collections in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the USA, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Ireland and throughout the United Kingdom.

I have been working in clay since 1994, with the background of working as a professional portrait artist since 1980. 

Have been providing private tuition since 1999.

"Lucy provides the viewer with a chance to enjoy and celebrate the beauty of the ephemeral and transitory, to savour the moment and recognise the passing of time. Her landscapes are deeply felt and interspersed with nuances of light and dark. Vast fields, bright and colourful spring gardens, the shifting patterns of the skies, the leaves of autumn and the never-ending blue of the ocean. These works celebrate moments which are certain to fade and cherish that which is fragile and impermanent.

Her painting methods employ old masters techniques of layering with opaque and transparent colours, building up the image with glazing." ...

Li Chen - The Asian Botero


Li Chen was born in 1963 in Taiwan. By incorporating feelings of self-mindfulness and interpretations of Chinese classics from the Buddhist and Taoist traditions, blended with contemporary thought, he relinquished the pursuit of the industrial design arts in the quest for engaging in pure artistic creation, accomplishing a style which has fully liberated itself from the confines of tradition, evincing a remarkably refreshing and natural affect. Li Chen’s profound understanding of the human condition, which ripples throughout the rich depth of his Zen works with their spirit of childlike innocence and unambiguous joy. He believes that life involves loss only in consequence of alienation, as the dust of regret silently accumulates in the corners of the soul, and the work aspires to a spiritual arts therapy, uncovering a wealth of joy amidst the simple life’s pleasures, innovating a spiritual space through the pieces, as humor embellishes a metaphorical engagement with the world, in the hopes of sharing this consciousness with the viewer as they appreciate the spiritual elements informing these creations.

Li Chen’s spiritual sculptures evoke the subtle skill of the textile weaver in supple, almost mylar balloon like textures, eliciting the soft within. He relies on the unique techniques of traditional Chinese ink lacquering together with gold and silver leaf, revealing a light and utterly relaxed sense, animating a miraculous contrast through its “heavy yet light” presence. Chen Li’s signature aesthetic void, exudes an exuberantly humane spirit and intimacy. In our unsteady era of uncertainty, Li Chen’s works achieve a harmonious sense of presence from impresence, with the Buddhist sense of a necessary absence and the Taoist commitment to instilling one’s vital Qi, replete with the visual semiotic richness of the contemporary arts, to successfully bridge the otherwise alienating cultural distance of the orient and occident, while pulling on the heartstrings with his playful sculpted lullabies. 

In 1999, Li Chen had his artwork debut in Taipei. Since 2000, his world tour exhibition started from New York to Chicago, Jerusalem, Copenhagen, Miami, Paris, London, Beijing, Shanghai, Geneva, Singapore, Seoul, etc. In 2007, he became the first Chinese artist to give a solo exhibition in Venice Biennale. In 2008, his work was recognized at a major solo exhibition at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing. In 2009, Singapore Art Museum invited him to have his first solo outdoor sculpture exhibition. In 2011 when ultramarathon runner Kevin Yi-jie Lin reached the destination Xi'an in the expedition of “Running the Silk Road”, he lighted up the candle in the hand of Li Chen’s artwork “The Pursuer”. Li Chen, who has not held any exhibitions in Taiwan for ten years, continues exploring the possibility of making sculpture with the new spirit of the East. In 2011, he gave his exhibition Greatness of Spirit: Li Chen Premiere Sculpture Exhibition in Taiwan at the Road of Democracy and the Main Plaza at CKS Memorial Hall, kicking off the largest-scale sculpture exhibition ever in Asia to present Li Chen’s fruitful 12-year creation from Taiwan’s landmark to show the radiant bloom of the perfect combination of the spirit of the orient and contemporary vision. In 2012, Li Chen launches his first museum exhibition in USA titled LI CHEN: Eternity and Commoner at Frye Art Museum, Seattle.

ARTIST STATEMENT

   
I have had a strong fascination with anthropology and art since childhood. Some of my greatest influences have been the primal forms and stories of traditional cultures from around the world. Primal art forms have influenced the imaginations and the works of artists throughout time. Indigenous artists were masters of utilizing materials from natural resources, as well as materials imported or manufactured by outsiders. Each form, whether a totem, mask, shield, body art or figurine was created as a means of connecting human beings to each other and to the spirit world. These works functioned as a bridge creating a sacred communion or dialogue between the physical and spirit worlds.

The creative problem solving process has been a vital part of my life. I have been active in teaching and producing art in public and private venues to children and adults throughout my adult life. It was really during my tenure as a high school art teacher that my area of personal interest began to focus on clay instead of fibers; and in particular, figurative clay sculpture. Yet even in my clay work you can witness my strong use of visual repetition, pattern, and textural elements that were integrated in my weaving processes. My days were spent designing and teaching course work challenges in the areas of ceramics, sculpture, and craft design. I structured all of these courses with a strong anthropologic component. Students researched the origins of the craft or fine art form; basically exploring WHO created the initial forms, WHY the forms were created, and HOW the process evolved as integral components of rituals and influenced civilizations over time. This process of research and study highly influenced my own creative endeavors. That interest continues to lead me toward a deeper understanding of how the daily experiences of traditional cultures, and ours, were/are interwoven with our natural environment and spiritual concepts.

Each creation I design may be based on a cultural myth, folklore, or legend, and my observations to convey my own personal narrative. My works are hand built, sculptural, low fired clay forms. The surfaces may be impressed and/or incised with a compilation of natural and manufactured textures, patterns, and symbols to convey a story or idea. Color is incorporated predominately through the application of under glazes, oxide stains, and colored slips which may be finished with heat infused encaustic wax. Metal, hemp, raffia, and other materials may be added to elaborate and exaggerate the forms. My objective with each piece is to create a contemporary interpretation and visual narrative of primal concepts.

"My work is inspired and informed by myth, dreams, and symbols. Most often I explore in my art themes of home, childhood, loss, nature, and the feminine experience. In these small sculptures, I work intuitively to reveal something of the inner world of each figure. Each piece is made of fired earthenware or porcelain clay with applied glazes, stains, paints, and the occasional found object"











"Bio
Born in western NY state, I grew up on the family farm where I spent most of my early years in the woods and fields, exploring, developing a rich inner life, and drawing everything around me. My passion is for making things.

After taking a class in ceramics at college, I fell in love with clay and went on to graduate with a BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in Alfred, NY. Since that time I have worked in the field of decorative painting while continuing to develop my art through ceramics, collage, drawing and painting.

I have exhibited in various group and solo shows in the US and Europe. Currently, I'm showing at the Mindy Solomon Gallery in St. Petersberg, Florida.

I live and work in Kingston, NY."

Heidi Guthmann Birck:                                                                                      
Even before I started my education to become a ceramist and sculptor in 1959,
I held a fascination for the human body - portrayed in paintings and sculptures
and in living people. This has been a constant source of inspiration.                                              

All the years my work has focused on the human face and I use it as a subject in
both sculptures and reliefs.                                                                                                           

Throughout the years my work with the human face and head has developed into working
with busts and the entire human body on small and big scale.                                                     
I have created sculptures for site specific commissions placed in private or public areas.
I have faced a lot of great and welcomed challenges, one being the exhibition
at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, in 1983 together with my colleagues
from Multi Mud.                                                                                                                        
The task was to create work that was inspired by the large and well-known collections of
classical ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman art.                                                           






                                                                                             
In my sculptures opposite expressions and duality are predominant. This is shown in pieces
that are partly woman and man - “Sheman”, in a man and an animal - “Manimal” or in a chimera.      

Some of my sculptures have been casted in bronze and then chased and patinated to achieve
even more refined expressions.                                                                                                    
My daughter and son have shown a lot of patience as models for some of my sculptures.








  
Since 1965 I have participeted in exhibitions all over Europe and my work can be seen
in several museums and public collections.
Among grants, I have received the grant from Djerassi Foundation 1985 - Artist in residence
and from Niels Wessel Bagge Art Foundation 1998 - Study tour, a tour which has been 
particularly important for my artistic development.

The exhibitions “Profiler i ler” 1980 and “Resumé 1966 -1999” have been manifestations of my
artistic partnership with my husband Aage Birck.

"We are living in a world of hypocrisy, it permeates us like a virus, making us weaker everyday. We as a society have lost our ability to think for ourselves and are told what we should eat and wear and drive and whom we should fuck. 
I make ceramic sculpture that some have said is shocking or disgusting. I believe I am only showing what we are all truly thinking or desire in some way. I do not set out to shock, because I don't believe anything I have created is shocking, I believe it is truth and honesty. If my work does shock or offend then I have struck a nerve in the viewer and I say, 'well done SIr!". It's the hypocrites I want, to present them with something so shocking, yet sculpturally beautiful that they can't take their  eyes off of it!"

"Telling a great story is what I do. I learned to tell stories from my family members who are all well known as non-stop talkers. I communicate by using my hands and translating these stories into clay. My ceramic sculptures often help me bring a humorous light to serious matters in my life.
My art focuses on the concepts of communication and miscommunication; things said and other things left unsaid between each other. I use animal imagery, such as Java sparrow finch birds. My Javas (Mr. Wizeman and Holly Houdini) are my muses. To me, my birds are symbols of humanity, facets of myself or of others. They represent different voices of the world, either cheerleaders or naysayers. Each soft slab hand-built clay figure tells a story. Voluptuous females are nurturing, protective symbols to me, connecting my work to my Mexican/Italian female family members. These sculptures serve as spirit guides and thoughtful studies; they are a way for me to manifest intentions, relieve anxieties, and whisper secrets. For instance, the conjoined sculpture “She Thought She Was Her Sister’s Twin” is a story about my sister “de-friending” me on Facebook. As sisters, we are joined together in a bond (the conjoined arm holding hands), always looking over each other’s shoulder, judging one another yet not dealing with our own problems (represented by the squawking Java Sparrow birds). 
Currently I’m working on wheel thrown, 17” clay platters designed to hang on the wall. The series, “Waiting For Instructions,” is about my mother’s recent death with an aggressive cancer that grew in days that took her away in one month. The series begins with a platter that is brightly colored with clay flowers and birds. The platter is titled, “Don’t worry, I Am Here”. Six months before my mom’s death I had dreamed she had died. I called her at her work and she told me, “Don’t worry, I am here”. The second platter in the series is, “She felt upside down.” The colors start to drip out of the flowers onto the bottom of the platter. The third platter in the series is called, “Wishes and Dreams”. It is all white.
Hand building allows a personal connection with my materials and my forms; that intimacy is imperative when processing my emotions into clay. Using my hands to create meaning with images and materials empowers me in all aspects of my life. Manipulating clay not only creates sculptures, but also “builds” me as an artist, an educator, and a woman. "

ARTIST STATEMENT



Like a wave in the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds onward, at times, maybe, with the speed of light, at times, again, so slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present.
-Nikola Tesla, from the 1893 lecture "On Light And Other High Frequency Phenomena" 

Water is a manifestation of the multitude of wave energies that surround us, a formless, colorless, tasteless, odorless “billowing solid” (Wallace Stevens), visible to our eye only with the addition of light. A single drop potentially mirrors everything that surrounds it. Water embodies the concept of endlessness, of complexities repeated fractally from one drop to the vast sea. I expose the identity of the ancient body of the ocean with integrity by being hyper-observant to its nature, focusing on the structure, synchronicity, and oscillations of the waves.

Yet I am interested in conveying how the ocean resonates, rather than depicting it. Constantly moving in a dance that mirrors the tempo of the human body, waves break in time with the beating of our hearts, the in and out of our breaths, like a metronome marking the present moment: now, now. My paintings are about being immersed in this present. For that reason, the horizon and any other reference points are disappeared, a move that detaches my work from the tradition of marine paintings, from Caspar David Friedrich, Turner, the Hudson River. Now we are not a distant observer, but all in.

How I paint today evolved from the minimalism I practiced for years while making all white panels that echo the reign of space and silence, the sparseness of Rainer Maria Rilke "living the questions." The courage and emotional complexity of Rembrandt also influence my work, which nevertheless lives in the continuity of Abstract Expressionism. It connects with the luminosity and vastness of Mark Rothko’s transcendent fields of color as well as the vitality and intensity of Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings. 

Each day, in one painting after the next, I attend to an ever deeper engagement and understanding.

Ran Ortner, 2012







Ran Ortner was born in 1959 in San Francisco. Ran Ortner’s background as a professional motorcycle racer influenced his interest in art. Drawn to the physicality and energy of motorcycle racing Ortner later transferred this dynamism into his approach to painting. He studied art privately in Canada and the United Kingdom. His conceptual sculptures and his paintings have been exhibited in Washington, North Carolina, California, New York, Belgium and Germany. Ran was also a lecturer at the Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten in Belgium. In 2008 and 2009 his work was in a traveling exhibition, “Falling Short of Knowing” which opened in New York and traveled to Singapore.

She has skilfully hand-drawn hands, faces, brains, glaciers and at least seven other Categories of Things, many of which have appeared on canvases in shows all over New Zealand, Australia, London and New York; some of which have appeared on her own successful line of hand-printed t-shirts; some of which have appeared on t-shirts made by other hands (namely those of Parinto and Barker’s Men’s Clothing); and some more of which emerge from the pages of fine print publications such as BITE, Metro and Sunday Magazines.  She has a varied list of clients, including Flying Nun Records, Amnesty International, Four Paws Media and Vice Magazine.

Henrietta has developed the timeless style that can only be achieved by having occasionally dipped one’s paintbrush accidentally in one’s coffee, but also combines tradition with less hazardous digital methods, all of which has resulted in an extensive, mutable, and memorable body of work.
