Luis Filcer Art
Mexican, Ukrainian, Dutch, 1927-2018
Luis Filcer (Zhytomyr, Ukraine, 1927 – 2018, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico) was a Mexican expressionist visual artist. Filcer started his career as an artist in Mexico, where in 1928, when he was only six months old, he had fled with his family because of the persecution of the Jewish population after the Russian Revolution. At the age of sixteen he started studying at the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City. In the morning he took lessons and in the afternoon he worked on his paintings and drawings.
In his artistic practice, Filcer was strongly influenced by the life of Vincent van Gogh and he dealt with themes such as injustice and struggle in everyday life. He was also an admirer of the artists Francisco Goya and José Clemente Orozco. Subjects portrayed by Filcer include the Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968, the casinos in Las Vegas, the Mexican Revolution of 1910, and the Mexico City Metro. Filcer's work shows no idealism, but examines right and wrong to provoke change.
Filcer lived and worked in the Netherlands for more than twenty years, a large part of which in De Rijp (NH). His work has been exhibited more than 340 times in leading museums and galleries around the world.

RACHID KHIMOUNE, Algerian-French artist and sculptor.
Born in 1953 in Decazeville, France. Lives and works in Paris, France.
Rachid Khimoune graduated from the School of Art of Paris in 1974; he initially started to work with painting before choosing sculpture. In 1980 he won the first prize of the Foundation of France. He works in an Art Brut, Naif art style similar to Jean Dubuffet and Enrico Baj.
Being the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and an extensive oeuvre, Rachid Khimoune has been exhibiting since 1975 and his work can be found in several museums, and public and private collections.
The artist behind the project Rachid Khimoune, has been responsible for a number of major, successful public art installations in France. Most famously, the installation close to the Bibliothèque Nationale (National Library) ‘Les Enfants du Monde’ (The Children of the World). Rachid’s newer works are masks and totems cast in bronze: poetic images forged in a furnace. Rachid uses discarded objects and disused parts of machines, to create new human and animal forms. Here his interest in metal-working and Arab art-African art coincides with the assemblage of found objects; one mask is a collage constituted by a large model of the Eiffel Tower stuck into the end of a trumpet. Another has a jerry-can for a face, and the golden patina and surface-working of the bronze does not dispel the idea which this image creates: of a human mouth drinking oil. Born in France to parents from Algeria, Khimoune embraces the role of the artist as a global citizen, using art as a universal language.

"Labour, " an Acrylic on Paper signed by Samuel B. Kpentenkple
By Samuel B. Kpetenkple
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Labour" is an acrylic painting on paper signed lower center by the artist, Samuel B. Kpetenkple. It depicts a woman in white patterned robes and a white head scarf carrying a bundle of sticks on her head.
15" x 8 5/8" art
22 1/4" x 16" framed
Artist Statement: "As often said there are some few "indigenous and naturals" who seem to have been born with brushes and pallet knifes in their hands. Nii Kpetenkple Samuel is one of such gifted and talented Artist; Painting to me, is one of the eloquent media for expressing myself about all the corners of the world and all that it holds; Of course it is not by accident, that i went into Painting. Nii Kpetenkple was born and bred in a coastal town, a suburb of Accra called NUNGUA, it's only 10 miles away from Accra. I am now in my late twenties. Nii Kpetenkple, had his training as an Artist at one of the secondary schools in Accra - Ghana. Later I had my tertiary training at Ultimate school of Art, (u.s.a) Ghana.
I enjoy sketching, swimming, reading and music that keeps me working always. My childhood experiences with fishermen in their fishing expedition, fish mongers, market women, local houses or structures and meaningful Ghanaian symbols with abstract figures made me one of the expert in that area. As an Artist, art enables me to see nature as eternal, grasp a fragment of the Almighty's plan, even a bit of land scape, few pieces of fruits or a human form. Throughout my period of contemplation and years of uninterrupted close contact with nature, vast truths flashed upon my mental horizon, to which i gave expression in my paintings.
I had no doubt that, i had discovored a new realm in the world of painting and would carry on to a fuller completion with what many gurus of the Art industry like Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Cezanne, Van gogh, Gauguin, Ablade Grover, Amon Kotei...
