Creative Paintings by Glenn Arthur

2011-09-10T18:28:00.000-07:00

Glenn Arthur is a self taught visual artist from Orange County, California. Born in February of 1979, he grew up in a conservative, religious household with little to no influence in art. After shedding his roots he quickly realized that creating art would be his calling. Although he constantly doodled and sketched throughout his youth, Glenn did not come into painting until later in life when a friend forced a paintbrush into his hands and said, “You need to do this!”

Since then Glenn has been diligently working on creating his own brand of beautifully painted images. Using acrylic paints on wooden panels, he adds in elements and influential symbols of his past and present to each piece. Beyond the aesthetics of his artwork, Glenn brings an overwhelming sense of passion to his paintings. Touching on themes of love, death, conflict and duality, Glenn’s art tells stories of strength and hope through emotion and sentiment with his sensual beauties and signature hummingbirds.

Mauro comments:"I have put everything into making my art. I hope that people will connect with the messages and ideas in my work-above all I want to put the "art" back into conceptual art. I am inspired by the Masters, and driven by a desire to continually perfect my process,technique and style."

Based in London, Mauro has achieved international acclaim in recent years with a range of solo and group shows across Europe.

Mauro's wife Lorena Perucchetti helps promote Mauro's work internationally and has also announced she got Mauro into in the first ever Roma Biennale and he will unveil 3 monumental sculptures in 2 squares. This is a monumental event in Rome.

Paintings by Anja Van Herle

2011-08-21T03:22:00.000-07:00

Born in Belgium in 1969, Anja Van Herle combines a European sense of high fashion in her artwork with an American sense of wonder. Her childhood years were devoted to exploring the fundamentals of her art using crayons, pencils and watercolors. In 1987, she enrolled in Belgium’s Higher Institute for Art Education where she earned a Master’s of Fine Arts in Painting. In 2003, Anja relocated to Los Angeles, where she now concentrates on figurative paintings that are inspired by both classic and contemporary fashion while exploring issues of identity, emotion and human interrelationships. As timelessly chic as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Anja’s women are playfully sexy, and their expressions and eyes tell stories that go far beyond the simple exhibition of fine fashion. In Anja’s masterful
hands, fashion becomes alive.

Paintings by Talantbek Chekirov

2010-12-22T17:30:00.000-08:00

Talantbek Chekirov was born on April 15th 1971 in the former Soviet republic of Kygystan. He is an interesting new discovery in the sphere of art.

Chekirov's paintings show varied aspects of the beautiful and the decorative art; his works are extracts of his rich and broadly situated ideas concerning the ideal notion of beauty in painting. Therefore, it is of little surprise that such dissimilar genres as landscapes and stylised antique nude paintings are represented in his work.

Talantbek Chekirov visited the State College of Art from 1986 to 1990. In this period, Chekirov acquired detailed knowledge in the fields of plastic anatomy, graphics and composition, which highlights his work as an artisan. In 1990, Chekirov completed his education in the domain of the creative arts with majors in theatrical painting and constructive art. Thereafter his path led him towards the world famous Bolschoi Theatre in Moscow, where he took over the artistic staging of the scenery between 1990 and 1992.

During his travels through Europe from 1992 until 1994, Chekirov studied the most important works and artists that had been kept obscured from him during his studies at college. The artist lives in the regions of Westfalen and Baden for the time being.

Creative Pinup Illustrations by Tyson McAdoo

2010-09-25T07:45:00.000-07:00

Tyson McAdoo is one contemporary artist that we take pleasure in featuring. We have yet to find an artist who can thoroughly blend yesterdays vintage pin-up girl with today’s relentlessly seductive and independent women as well as he can. McAdoo sketches exquisite comic style pin-up girls in erotic stilettos and sexy lingerie. He blesses each of his beautiful creations with eyes of mystery and the alluring gaze of larceny. In a recent interview with Convicted Artist we learned more about McAdoo. The talented artist began his career in art at a young age. He was later recruited by The Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphics Arts where he began specializing in cartoon & comic art.

Creative Installations by Claire Morgan

2010-09-24T09:27:00.000-07:00

Claire Morgan was born in Belfast. She attended University of Ulster and Northumbria University where she achieved a first class degree in Sculpture. She is now based in London.

Since graduating she has pursued a career solely as a visual artist. She has exhibited internationally, with solo shows, residencies and commissions across the UK, as well as group exhibitions in Europe. At an early stage she developed a strong interest in the organic, in natural processes, and in the bodily connotations of natural materials. This formed the basis for her practice as an artist creating sculptural installations and continues to influence her work at present.

In 2004 Claire was awarded the Royal British Society of Sculptors Annual Bursary and Roy Noakes Awards for Come Fly With Me, a work that involved painstakingly repetitive and precise processes. She has continued to explore this way of working, and the challenges presented by her chosen materials and techniques have become an important part of her practice.

In 2006 she was awarded first prize for Red or Dead in the Premio Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro, International Competition for Young Sculptors, Milan (for artists under the age of 40), and in 2007 she was selected as one of the Courvoisier Future 500 (top 10 art and design), featured in The Observer.

In 2008, a new body of work entitled Periphery formed a major solo exhibition at the James Hockey and Foyer Galleries, UCA Farnham, and Gone With The Wind, a commission for the Great North Run Cultural Programme exhibited at the Laing Gallery, Newcastle, received great acclaim.

Claire is currently working on temporary and permanent commissions for public spaces, as well as installations for private collections. She is also preparing for international group and solo exhibitions that will include new installations and drawings.
