Apostolos Chantzaras
Apostolos Chantzaras continues to develop his own visual and entertaining world, without fear for bold line, form and saturated color. Greek-born Chantzaras first studied painting under Chronis Botsoglou at the Athens School of Fine Arts and then continued studies in Photography and Fresco. He was nominated for the IKY scholarship in 2000–3 and studied painting at the Université Paris VIII (2004–5). Influenced by working beside his father, Eleftherios Chantzaras, a renowned Byzantine painter and iconographer are also quite relevant in his style and technique. His extraordinary means of expression reveal influences from the shadow puppet show, combining a rich legacy of symbols related to Greece and that part of the world - The sun, the cross, the fish, the church, the simple islanders, all come together in a unique and perceptible artistic amalgam. Chantzaras’ lyrical work has been featured on the cover of several published novels including Olga or Nothing by Lito Pitiris, Kedros Publishing (2013), Imaginary Adventure by Alexandros Kotzias, Kedros Publishing (2012) and Glass Industry by Menis Koumantareas, published by Vima Newspaper (2011). In 2008, Chantzaras produced the collector stamp series “Greek Traditional Products” for the national Greek Post (ELTA). In 2013, Chantzaras was featured in Florence, Italy in conjunction with the Venice Biennale.

- Sophie # 5, hand painted mixed media portrait photography on paper, framedBy Rosie EmersonLocated in Dallas, TXThis beutiful unique edition is framed on a custom black box frame, all archival materials. Rosie Emerson, born in 1981, is a contemporary artist working almost exclusively on representing the female form. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model, each solitary figure, an allegory of her own fantasy. Interested in surface, the interplay between photography and painting. Emerson’s works are playful constructs; Photography is used, not as a device for capturing reality but for creating romanticised optical illusions. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance, shrines and rituals, she uses lighting, costume, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create other worldly one off pieces. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, and magical realist literature. Emerson’s screen...Category
