2015

Olga Antonova "Elegant Still Life of Two White, Gold and Blue Cups on Orange and Off White" Oil on Canvas 10 x 10 Inches Olga Antonova’s subject is compositions of extraordinarily elegant, beautiful and whimsical cups, plates, teapots, vases and dishes, but there is something playful about these paintings. Stacked teacups are also amusing, having a kind of jaunty and upbeat personality of their own. Polka dots are as endearing to adults as to children, and everyone responds to the bling and sparkle of gold and silver while marveling at Antonova’s seemingly effortless ability to paint these radiant...

Martin Dimitrov paints and sculpts entirely from life and imagination. His recent work has focused heavily on large-scale nocturne paintings depicting a variety of subjects that resonate with the artist. From near life-size paintings of a lemon tree on his property to night scenes overlooking the AZ valley, Dimitrov always imbues his work with a sense of atmosphere and silent admiration for his subject. In this piece of orange blossoms at night, the piece almost seems theatrical. Blossoms open up in the cool low desert night...

During his successful career as a goldsmith the desire to paint grew on Dutch artist René Smoorenburg (1954). The attention to detail, which was of great importance in his work as a goldsmith, proved of great value in painting his one of a kind still life’s.

In contrast to the masters of the Golden Age, he chooses to emphasize the vulnerability, fragility and imperfection of everyday objects in his still life’s. According to René Smoorenburg, beauty is not perfection, but in the trace of the past and the evidence of enduring ravages of time. René Smoorenburg finds his sources of inspiration at antique fairs and markets: worn shoes...
