Selected Artists

Bianca Dakli.
William Brown.
Alexander Shandor.

Bianca Dakli

Following her passion as both a dancer and a painter, Bianca Dakli鈥檚 creative work is inextricably entwined. Her visual art conveys movement at every turn鈥攖he ebb and flow of water and air, wild stirrings of color and texture, or a quiet surface with whispers of rumblings beneath.

Her work has the power to evoke strong emotions in the viewer through the juxtaposition of color and form, or even with a well-placed brushstroke. Each painting alerts the senses, uplifts the spirit or piques the curiosity. The effect may be calming and hypnotic or dynamic and energizing.

As the artist uses her innate sense of balance and motion to compose, she moves the observer as well.

 

William Brown

Artist William Brown鈥檚 work is like a race across time, with a message that perfectly reflects our current age. His montages are mashups of Renaissance imagery and hi-tech replication. Sourcing already complex works by artists such as Hieronymus Bosch and Bruegel the Elder, Brown hypercharges them into frenetic compositions that read like a high-speed network of internet connections.

What better way to create these intricate works than with a robotic painting system designed to alter the nature of art itself? His compelling portfolio challenges us to look into the future if we dare, and to imagine the possibilities.

 

Alexander Shandor

Spontaneous in nature and filled with vivid color and energy, the paintings of Ukrainian artist Alexander Shandor invite the viewer to step into the creative experience with a sense of immediacy. Each swiftly placed brushstroke captures a unique fleeting moment in time, and forever preserves it on canvas.

Using simple, bold fields of color that convey form and meaning but only hint at detail, Shandor unapologetically shares a sense of sheer joy in the act of creation. The observer cannot help but be drawn into each exuberant work of art.
