Biographical notes on painter. Giuliano Ghelli was an Italian painter and sculptor, born in Florence in 1944 and passed away in 2014. Self-taught, his artistic exploration embraced various styles and movements, from informal to pop art and surrealism. Ghelli is known for his figurative works, often characterized by symbolic elements such as hills, numbers, signs, envelopes, houses, and cypress trees. Among his favorite subjects were also robots and surreal characters, inspired by science and science fiction. Ghelli exhibited his works in Italy and abroad, in both public and private galleries, and received numerous recognitions and awards. Some of his most important exhibitions include those dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci at the Sforza Castle in Milan in 1992, at the Pecci Museum in Prato in 2001, and at the M'ARS Museum in Moscow in 2005. Ghelli also created commissioned works for companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Fiat, as well as for events like the Palio di Siena and the Sydney Olympics. Ghelli lived in the Florentine Chianti region, where a museum in San Casciano was named after him, featuring a vast exhibition section dedicated to his sculptures, installations, and many paintings.

    Bold, colorful, still life oil painting of a pear. In lush, vibrant color. SUZANNE WALLACE MEARS During college she focused on painting and clay. Then it became photography and clay, then only clay, then kiln formed glass and today its kiln formed glass, painting and plasma cut steel sculpture. She also works in oil paint and encaustic. Reminiscent of the color works of Jim DIne and the fruit paintings of Tom Seghi. She never works with only one medium. She uses color and texture to create energetic, luminous, joyous works with the glass. Bright, bold color using reds, blues, oranges reflect my travels in color saturated countries such as Tibet, Nepal, China and Mexico. At random I use solid color fields as a challenge to my driving love of vibrant color. Her favorite themes are inspired by nature and antiquity. Kiln formed glass uses flat sheets of glass which are cut into shapes, layered and incorporate accessory elements of frits, copper wire and mesh, pieces of sheet copper or brass and dichroic glass fired in a kiln.
