Sumomo Kanashiwa, an illustrious Argentine women artist with Japanese fascination, has carved a unique niche in the contemporary art world. Born and raised amidst the colorful milieu of Buenos Aires, her artistic journey is a remarkable blend of South American vibrancy and the mystical allure of Japanese manga. Despite her lack of formal art education, Kanashiwa's self-taught skills have blossomed into a distinct style that challenges traditional norms and celebrates creative freedom. Kanashiwa's artwork is a testament to her multicultural heritage, seamlessly merging the bustling energy of Buenos Aires with the whimsical charm of manga. Her signature style is marked by characters with wide, expressive eyes and striking pink hair, set against fantastical, often surreal landscapes. This dreamy aesthetic is vividly portrayed in her acclaimed pieces, "Whispers of the City" (2010) and "Midnight Reverie" (2011), where she exhibits a profound mastery of vibrant hues and deep, thoughtful compositions. Her artistry transcends cultural barriers, appealing to a global audience with its universal themes and innovative storytelling. Drawing from diverse influences such as manga, Argentine folklore, modern literature, and animation, Kanashiwa crafts narratives that delve into the depths of human emotions and experiences. Her distinctive use of pink-haired characters, at once innocent and enigmatic, becomes a powerful medium to explore and express a range of sentiments and life's complexities. By her early thirties, Kanashiwa has already made significant contributions to the international art scene. Her oil paintings, recognized for their harmonious blend of various cultural elements, offer viewers an immersive experience into the realms of fantasy and introspection. The characters in her paintings are not mere figures; they are storytellers, engaging the audience in a dialogue about universal human connections. Based in Buenos Aires, Kanashiwa continues to evolve her artistic expression, constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity. Her work reflects a fusion of different worlds, embodying the limitless potential of imagination unconfined by traditional artistic limits. Embracing the digital era and the burgeoning metaverse, Kanashiwa's art invites us into a captivating exploration of emotion and creativity, transcending physical and cultural barriers.

Little Blue Houses - Oil Still Life Landscape with Rural and Urban Symbolism
By Mark Bowers
Located in Chicago, IL
Mark Bowers- Artist Statement With the depiction of landscape playing such a central role in the history of North American art, it seemed to offer many of the critical possibilities I was looking for, and it felt more and more like something I have always known. Something I could easily apply, stage, and manipulate as a diary. My work consists of small-scale highly detailed landscape paintings. They are inspired by the comfort, trepidation, and beauty found in the mundane Chicago Suburbs. I combine nature, decorative house wares, municipal structures, and personal artifacts to hint at current life and future implications in the orchestration of these elements. Each work in the series is a portrait of a search for markers on a journey, an attempt to learn from what is palpable and to appreciate the intangible. The paintings are meant to suggest the truth in the un-idealized moment--the actual truth only exists off the edges of my canvas, off stage, and in the experience of the viewer. Painting the objects in these compositions is like positioning characters on stage in a play, each adding to the dramatization Mark Bowers Little Blue Houses oil on panel 15h x 30w in 38.10h x 76.20w cm MJB008 Mark Bowers b. 1977 St. Joseph, MI Exhibitions 2013 American Painting Today: Physical and Visceral, Krasl Art Center, St. Joseph, MI 2012 Fort Wayne Art Museum, Contemporary Realism Biennial, Fort Wayne, IN Rockford Art Museum Midwestern Biennial, Rockford, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2009 Art Chicago, Represented by Ann Nathan Gallery, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2007 Beverly Arts Center Biennial, Chicago, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2005 Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2003 Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI 2001 The Box Factory Gallery, St. Joseph, MI 2000 John G.

Vibrant Acrylic on Canvas Surrealist Erotic Flowers Painting Christine McGinnis
By Christine McGinnis
Located in Surfside, FL
Christine McGinnis LaPelle (American, 1937-2019) Title: Cords Materials: Acrylic on canvas Markings & Inscriptions: Hand signed bottom center 37 X 37 Hangs in a diamond shape An acrylic on canvas painting depicting erotic fleshy abstract forms. Christine McGinnis LaPelle, award winning artist, co-owner of Rodger LaPelle Galleries, artist and printmaker. McGinnis was the wife of fellow artist and printmaker, Rodger LaPelle. Together for over 60 years, they paved a way of life for new and upcoming artists in the Philadelphia arts community. A carriage house in Germantown in Awbury Arboretum was their home for over 50 years where Christine painted in her studio there. This was from the estate exhibition of the Rodger LaPelle Galleries, Philadelphia, PA, Entirely Absurd. Rodger LaPelle and his wife Christine McGinnis first emerged on the Philadelphia art scene by establishing a fine art printing studio. Here, they employed local artists and recent PAFA and art school graduates, ultimately founding the Rodger LaPelle Galleries in 1980. Representing such artists as David Lynch, Peter Paone, Paul Wunderlich, and Tom Palmore, among many others, the gallery established a distinct presence in the Philadelphia artistic community by offering works characterized by an absurdist surrealist aesthetic, often vacillating between the darkly surreal and hilariously nonsensical. Sci fi, robots, comets, space and animals all figured in this colorful jumble of surrealism, fantastic realism and whimsy. RobitSuch works transport their viewers to places unfamiliar, perhaps haunting, revealing the artists' strange and disturbing impulses. Artists who have exhibited at the Rodger LaPelle Galleries in Philadelphia include Rolland Becerra, Jimmy Bellew, Rachel Bess, and Alex Cohen. Additional artists who have shown their work there are Nick D'Angelo, Robert Waddington, Fred Danziger, Christine Cathers Donohue, and Bruce Evans. Other artists include James Farrah, David Febland, James Feehan, Clark Fox, Santiago Galeas, Reza Ghanad, Jason Godeke, Heather Godlewski, Paul Gorka, and Red Grooms. The gallery has also featured Allan Grow, Sandra Hoffman, Simon Huelsbeck, Sarah Hunter, Paul Kane, Jenny Kanzler, Brian Keeler, Judith Lamb, Terrence Laragione, Jeanine Leclaire, and David Leonard.
