In Thornton Dial's assemblage, masklike faces with staring eyes and open mouths emerge from a dense maze of layers streaked in red, white, blue, and black. Ropes painted brown snake over the surface, twisting into bodies that stretch from one side of the painting to the other. Additional objects have been attached to the surface—a paint-covered metal grill at the top and a wire rack on the right edge, for example—which accentuate the artwork's sculptural appearance. The resulting lattice of colors, forms, and objects gives the impression that, if the artwork's strata were excavated, much more could be discovered. In many respects, "excavation" is an appropriate way to approach Top of the Line (Steel).By layering paint and objects that Dial collects from around his home in Bessemer, Alabama, a suburb of Birmingham, the artist creates a series of evocative relationships. Dial encourages viewers to look closely at the artwork, excavating meaning from the interplay of forms and even from the title, which has several interpretations. For example, "top of the line" refers both to a position in an assembly line...

David Géry's paintings are mostly black and textured. For him, it is only possible to perceive the mysteries and truths of life through black. David Géry creates an interraction between his paintings and the viewer; the painting is always different depending on the viewer's position or the intensity and direction of light. He takes us into the kingdom of the night, in a secret world wainting for light. David Géry is also a theatre director. The main plays he directed were Bartleby by Herman Melville at the Théâtre de la Tempête (Paris), Autum Dream by Jon Fosse at L’Athénée-Théâtre Louis Jouvet and an adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies. In this work, I really wanted to draw a bush of my favorite hydrangea, so that I could look at it in winter.

The painting "The Birth of story" tells us about the amazing process of the birth of a literary work. The writer begins work and from under his pen appear unexpected mysterious chara...

The column is the most important meaningful symbol that links the past, present and future. This is a symbol of strength, stability, support, constancy, ascent, aspiration, victory, strength, earthly and cosmic energy. In mythology, the column often appears in the meaning of the World Tree or the supreme deity. This is how I present the image of the column in my work. For me, this is the synthesis and triumph of human thought and the beauty and power of the natural world and the diversity of its forms. And it is in the columns of the Corinthian order...
