Bachelor's degree, Studio Arts from Concordia University (2001).   I paint collage-like, frequently narrative paintings, sets of miniatures, and make prints (monoprint, etching, silkscreen, collography). I have lived in Quebec since 1968.  Have been painting on a regular basis since 1989 and, full-time since 1995.  Made Morin Heights my home in 1993.

In 1996 I exhibited my work (which was primarily paintings that say it with flowers and, some landscapes and miniatures) at Gallery "910" in Morin Heights. Also organized a "Guest Artist" demonstration-class program for local artists during Spring and Summer of 1996.

Member (and past president) of "Arts Morin Heights" participated in solo and group exhibitions in the Laurentians, as well as the Lower Laurentians Art Tour Route des Arts since its inception in 2000.  Vice-President of the Board of Directors of Route des Arts. Have been contributing to the local English paper main street and now write a monthly report entitled ARTS Etc. as well as some individual profiles about artists in the region.

Artist's Statement:

My paintings are inspired by my heritage, my experience as a woman artist and my flowers.

I paint in various techniques (acrylic, oil, egg-oil emulsion, egg tempera, watercolour, mixed media, collage and, prints) and draw my subjects from traditional symbols, poetry and, my rock garden.  I am a pacifist and through my art wish to put emphasis on the importance of understanding, empathy, respect and love towards humanity, nature and, all living creatures on earth.

Anthe says, ”Creating  work is much like breathing, you just simply do it because you must to stay alive.  The creation of my art is a means for me to express my faith in God, glorifying him, and giving him honor through my work. I have always had a love of the Mexican & Greek Iconography. My travels to both countries have enabled me to incorporate their color sense into my imagery. I have felt the desire to convey multiple meanings in much of my work and to provoke thought.  Nothing in life is exactly what it appears to be and art in my estimation should reflect the same as life, the unexpected.”

 

She would also like to say," Thanks for all of you who have offered  your support and that of my Lord that has enabled me to  continue to create. As many of you know the past few years have been trying for me in the least. Several car accidents have left me with chronic pain. However I have triumped over darkness. Thank God and I am back to creating new and exciting works. It has been a great comfort for me that so many of you continue to support my efforts by attending my exhibitions and through adding my work to your collections. I just want to say thank you.This keeps my work very much alive."

 

Anthe’s original works vary in size and materials and can be found in many local Philadelphia area galleries. This award winning artist is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and founding President of McGOPA—Montgomery County Guild of Professional Artists were she continues to serve on the Board and exhibit with SPP Galleries.

 

She is very versatile in her applications and the media she chooses. Other series include; 8 Virtues, which consist of original hand pulled prints allegorical in nature, scenes of Greece, Paris, France and scenes of and surrounding areas Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which consist of landscapes & buildings originating both from original prints and water color paintings.

 

 

 

Godfrey Blow (Κατάλογος Συμμετεχόντων)

(Of the Perth Stuckists)

 

Web-site

 

Godfrey Blow is an artist who has had many solo exhibitions beginning with his first in London in 1976 and whose work is held by several major and regional galleries, principally in Western Australia. ln addition he has taken part in numerous mixed exhibitions in Western Australia, New South Wales and the United Kingdom. He has also won several prestigious awards in Western Australia. Blow was born in North Hykeham, Lincolnshire in 1948. He trained as an artist at Sheffield Hallam University in England and came to Western Australia in 1982.

His most recent work is concerned with exploring symbols derived from natural forms that give an insight into the nature of existence. The artist believes that the truth is just as likely to be found in mythology and as relevant to our appreciation of the world as scientific facts. Although elements in the work are highly personal, the images used will strike a universal chord. The development of a more spiritual approach to his painting is becoming increasingly significant. Although spiritual in nature the work is not religious and seeks to understand the world in a meaningful way.

The work is also concerned with responding to natural events that shape our lives. The sudden and recent death of the artist's parents has had a profound influence on his work. The inevitability of death which is perhaps still a taboo in our society, is dealt with in several of the artist's later work. This is not to say that the paintings depict a pessimistic view of the world. The work, in fact, presents life in all of its various facets and hopefully touches part of our intellect and emotions.

This work is the language of the visionary artist and we need to put aside set ideologies and view his art in a new light. Personal truth sought with a genuine desire and integrity is the important factor in the development of this artist's work.

(Of the Lisbon Stuckists)

Jaime’s primary vocation is Biology; it appears though that the Renaissance Man in him is not content to limit his creativity in the scientific field only, so he paints, using with surrealistic humour a realistic visual vocabulary – in great part “drawn” from his science - and expressing with it his scientific experiences, his ecological concerns, his love for nature, for his family and friends, for all those great little things that make life on this planet worth living.

 

Jaime is a Stuckist painter par excellence, his works of art being as honest as works of art can be.

STATEMENT:      

"In early memory ...music Was ringing 'round my nursery door"*

 

My earliest memories are made up of a cocktail of music and art. The two have been inextricably linked ever since.

 

The first song that I can recall hearing was 'Buffalo Soldier' by Bob Marley, released in '76, the year that I was born.

 

As a child I would spend my days drawing and listening to music. I was always fascinated by the past and would take references from history books. I had a teacher in primary school who fueled the link of working to music. In her class she would play classical compositions and ask us to draw to the music, expressing whatever images we saw within the sounds.

To this day, that memory abides and makes up much of my working practice. I still take pictures from sounds.

 

When I paint, I don't start out with any set plans. I pick up pieces subconsciously or take them from the last image worked as a way of breaking the blankness. The use of repeated imagery links each painting to the past.


The busy nature that my work has, is an expression of the fast paced condensed living that I see around me. The symbols that I use come from primitive and ancient high cultures. My main inspiration is taken from 'Rock Art' by indigenous peoples from around the world as it is free flowing, pure and 'touches my primal buttons'.

 

My use of figures with 'arms raised' comes from a vision that I once had when I was living in Arizona. It was during a drive through the sculptured desert looking at the time-rendered landscape littered with cacti.


They appeared to me as being human in form, with arms raised, basking in the sunshine and celebrating life under the sun that fell upon them in what looked at first to be a barren wilderness. In some way they were the souls of many collected and captured together without feet to move, yet positioned in a paradise.

 

I feel that painting is like dancing, in that it is natural. There are no wrong steps, and when it flows it is possible to dance across the canvas to a universal beat and rhythm which we all hold within.


"These are the roots of the rhythm

And the roots of the remain" *


* Quotes taken from the song 'Under African Skies' by Paul Simon, from the album 'Graceland'

Susan’s accomplishment is not her powerful graphic style, nor her masterful composition and use of colour and tonality. A huge number of fine artists world-wide achieve a high level of craftsmanship.

It’s the very personal way in which Susan puts her craftsmanship in good use, conveying thus to the viewer sentiments of tender nostalgia, elegant irony, dignified melancholy, intelligent optimism, all characterized by such a mysterious and simultaneously familiar femininity to render her works “art by a true Lady”, in the most literal of senses.

Elsa Dax (Κατάλογος Συμμετεχόντων)

(Of the Paris Stuckists)

 

Web-site

 

Who am I: Lives between Paris and London Camden Town with architect husband, John Kerr. Passionate about Greek mythology. Mother of two young girls, Sophia and Jeanne. Bonne vivante. Likes Médoc, Cordier, écrevisses, wild pigeon, cèpes, mushrooms. Walks in the Bois Vincennes and by Camden canal. Part-time smoker. Solo shows in Paris and London. Puts on make-up on bus journeys, "I can't paint on buses, so I have the pleasure of painting myself."

 

Statement: Most of my paintings are inspired by myths, especially Greek and Roman Mythology. The reason for this is that it provides scope for the imagination. A lot of artists (painters, writers, architects, sculptors, filmmakers, etc) were also inspired by this tremendous domain.

Selene de Packh (Κατάλογος Συμμετεχόντων)

(Of the Pittsburgh Stuckists)

 

Selene “… is a classically trained artist who has mastered a variety of media. Her representational and fantasy work may be found in regional public ollections around Wasshington, D.C. and in private collections nationally. In 1997 she founded Womwn’s Work, a feminist gallery that supported artists who where survivors of abuse and trauma …

 

influences … include the line drawings of Aubrey Beardsley; Dave Sim’s Cerebus Comics; Max Earnst’s Freudian collages; the haunted luminously desolate paintings of Paul Delvaux; and Angela Carter’s melancholy, lusciously savage stories. Ultimately, though, the work is most indebted to those ferociously intelligent ranks of sex warriors like Annie Sprinkle, Pat(rick) Califia, Tristan Taormino and Susie Bright ho have cleared a territory where womwn can own their own sexuality with fierce pride …”

A fitting comment to a figurative charcoal drawing I sold to a friend, came from their son the morning after it was hung in their home. The three-year old said “ Oh what a lovely picture mummy“!

Αντιλαμβάνομαι την Τέχνη ως μέσον για να βιωθεί η ιερή φύση του Κόσμου. Κατά συνέπεια, αποσκοπώ μέσω της Τέχνης να εκφράσω ιδέες, ιδανικά και συναισθήματα, να μεταδώσω μηνύματα σε επίπεδο προσωπικό, κοινωνικό, πολιτικό, φιλοσοφικό και μυστικιστικό. Ζωγραφίζω τις καθημερινές μου εμπειρίες, μετουσιωμένες σε μύθους, κάνοντας χρήση συμβόλων που αντλώ από τις αρχαίες, προχριστιανικές  παραδόσεις της Γής, καθώς και από το υποσυνείδητο μου.  Προσπαθώ να έχω μιά πολυδιάστατη τεχνοτροπία, να αφομοιώσω στοιχεία κυρίως από τις σχολές της Ιταλικής Αναγέννησης, τους Φλαμανδούς και Γeρμανούς Primitives, το Ιαπωνικό Sumi-e και τα Κινέζικα Gonbi και Xieyi, τα κινήματα του απεικονιστικού Εξπρεσιονισμού και του Σουρεαλισμού, καθώς και από ορισμένες Ευρωπαϊκές «σχολές» Κόμικ.

 

“Πολυδιάστατα Αφηγηματική” είναι ο όρος-κλειδί για την ερμηνεία της ζωγραφικής μου δουλειάς. Σε κάθε έργο μου αποπειρώμαι να απεικονίσω, πάντα με παραστατικό (figurative) τρόπο και κάνοντας ευρεία χρήση συμβόλων, πολλά δρώμενα που εξελίσσονται ταυτόχρονα και συγκροτούν συνθετότερα δρώμενα. Περαιτέρω, ομαδοποιώ τα έργα μου σε ενότητες, η κάθε μία από τις οποίες αφηγείται κάποιο προσωπικό μου μύθο, μια δομημένη ιστορία με αρχή, μέση και τέλος.

 

Προκειμένου να προσδώσω στα έργα μου μιά ατμόσφαιρα «θεατρική» ή «κινηματογραφική», συνδυασμένη με ένα «ονειρικό» στοιχείο «αργής κίνησης», απεικονίζω το χώρο με στρεβλωμένες προοπτικές, συνήθως ευρυγώνιες, με σημείο οράσεως πολύ ψηλό ή πολύ χαμηλό, ή συχνά και πολλαπλό, που αλλάζει από περιοχή σε περιοχή του πίνακα, αποπειρώμενος να δώσω έτσι στο θεατή την αίσθηση της κάμερας του οπερατέρ που κινείται

 

Επιδιώκω να προτρέψω το θεατή να σταθεί και μελετήσει ήρεμα το έργο εστιάζοντας σε όλα του τα δρώμενα. Θεωρώ το σημείο αυτό ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό, δεδομένου ότι επιθυμώ με την δουλειά μου να αμφισβητώ το μοντέλο του αγχώδους καλλιτέχνη που «παράγει» γρήγορα ένα «προϊόν» που ο πάντα βιαστικός θεατής θα «καταναλώσει» ακόμα πιο γρήγορα, αντιπροτείνοντας το παραδοσιακό ιδανικό του καλλιτέχνη που μπαίνει σε διαλογιστική κατάσταση, προκειμένου να δημιουργήσει ένα έργο τέχνης το οποίο ο θεατής θα βιώσει, απολαύσει και αφομοιώσει μόνο αν μπει σε διαλογιστική κατάσταση με τη σειρά του.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Annunziata FiumiLoosli (Κατάλογος Συμμετεχόντων)

Web-site

 

Annunziata Fiumi, born 1946 in Passignano at the Lake Trasimeno by Perugia in Italy, was shaped by the beauty of her home-lake and the nature very early. One in her proximity managing, today famous artists, whom she observed with the mark often and alertly, just as miscellaneous art-courses have motivated her to it, itself, to develop her own, very lifelike style in the landscape - and nature-art.

Her family moved in Switzerland as she was a young girl. In her leisure time, she devoted herself to the art and the further education as well as the study the old Italian masters and the modern art.

Already with 22 years, her landscapes excited the interest of the present public at a showing of Italian artists living in the foreign countries.

1971, Annunziata married a Swiss and accompanied her husband for several years to Algeria. These years have influenced her artistic sensitivity strongly.

After different residences, the couple established itself 1980 near Thun in Switzerland. finally Annunziata could develop in this beautiful surroundings with her art itself in stillness.

So, various works were created in the divers techniques as watercolour, tempera, gouache and oil.

In Italy, she displayed her pictures of landscape and flowers several times and achieved emotion and acknowledgement in her birth-country.

1984, she also displayed in home-mountain and Ütendorf in the canton Bern.

1990, she became together with other known artists, under it representatives of the movements born in Italy "Ipermanierismo " and " Pittura Colta ", Arduini, Baragli, Civerchia, Castelli, Fumagalli etc, as selected representative of the current Italian representational art to show some of her works in a exhibition over contemporary art from Italy in Burgwedel at Hanover.

In the spring 1991, also the french speaking swiss people could enjoy themselves on the occasion of a showing near Lausanne at her flowerspictures, Landscapes and for the first time abstract art.

Her works were subsequent to see in a bank in Bern for some months.

In December 1991, Annunziata Fiumi took part in a community-showing in the gallery Kyburg in Thun. The press of her " winter-picture " was impressed there.

Matilda Hultgren, borne 1982, lives together with her husband at Råslätt in Jönköping, where she works with her art.

 
In her art she mostly describes what life is mostly about, relations; Relations between humans, mankind and God, and the relations of humans towards themselves.

 
Other things that she encounters in life, big and small circumstances and thoughts, find their way into her art.
