Lau Chun Art
Chinese, b. 1942
Born in Kiangsi, China in 1942, Lau Chun demonstrated interest in art at the age of ten. After graduating from high school, he entered the Canton School of Fine Art for two years. With a solid foundation in the ordered and exacting style of classical Asian artists, he left for Hong Kong.
In 1962, while living in Hong Kong, Lau was hired by Francis Bodo, a noted Mexican artist, to paint murals and mosaics. He worked with Bodo for eight years- the mosaic backgrounds in many of Lau''s paintings are not by accident.
In 1968, the Revox Corporation of Switzerland bestowed a two-year scholarship grant upon Lau enabling him to study extensively in Europe. Revox sponsored exhibits of his work in Hamburg and Copanhagen at the end of the two year period. Attracted by the light and color of the Hawaiian islands, the artist settled in Honolulu in 1971.
While Lau has been inspired by the French Impressionists, he developed a distinctive style that redefines the tenants of classical impressionism. The uniquely textured paint surface is abstract up close but, at a distance, perfectly captures the spirit and values of his subjects.

Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
This piece, "Sundown Flatiron District", is a 36x36 oil painting on canvas by artist Benoit Havard featuring a moody view down a bustling Manhattan New York City street. Warm glow from the shops and street lamps reflect on the glistening wet roads. Buildings loom on both sides, giving a unique and life-like perspective to the viewer.

Benoît Havard is an award-winning French artist whose works have been displayed nationally and in the United States. For him, artistic creation is an everyday search, where he is alone facing the canvas with his emotions and experience. Havard is intrigued by large cities filled with history.

He uses oils to 'paint in thickness and sculpt in matter'.This piece, "Broadway, NYC", is a 39x39 oil painting on canvas by artist Harvard...
