Spanish artist Xavi Carbonell born 1971, actively paints like a child as an adult, and leaves all of his pieces "untitled" so that each viewer can create their own story. The resulting work is fun, fresh, and powerful. The play-fullness of the pieces are enjoyed by both children and adults and some describe the work as a type of Rorschach test since everyone “sees” and smiles at something different. As we view this piece our imagination explodes and we wonder is this a painting of a party, a playground, a family dinner, an office meeting, a busy street? The answer is different for everyone. This mixed media on paper which includes oil paint, spray paint, graphite, permanent marker, oil pastel, and pen uses vibrant reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, grays and blacks to offer an intense expression against the white space of the background. While most of the materials used are flat against the paper's surface we do see the dimensional texture of the oil paint, an occasional splatter, and brush strokes. Critics have described Carbonell's work as reminiscent of Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso and Miro. Carbonell has been selected for a variety of Awards and has exhibited in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Xavi Carbonell lives and works in Alcoi Spain.

“There is that Far-off Tall Dog Singing to a Hole in Bank” (Frill Dog series). A colorful contemporary dog painting of Foxhounds dogs singing to a fox in a hole with accompanying text from a book is an inspirational departure from the traditional illustrations found in British Rudyard Kipling's "Thy Servant a Dog", 1930. The book was the first ever narrated by a dog. Nancy van Meter...

"Making a Beseech" (Frill Dog series). A colorful contemporary dog painting of a Scottish Terrier dog with accompanying text from a book is an inspirational departure from the traditional illustrations found in British Rudyard Kipling's "Thy Servant a Dog", 1930. The book was the first ever narrated by a dog, Boots, a Scottie. Making a beseech is the only trick the Scottie, Boots knows, paws over nose. Nancy van Meter...
