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.

View from the Train: Cityscape Oil Painting, View of Brooklyn
By Patty Neal
Located in Hudson, NY
View from the Train, 2019 24" X 40" x 1", oil on canvas This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan view is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers an intimate view of the city, as seen from a window, as it peeks from behind two metal structures. The dark browns and bright golds beautifully compliment the dusty blue, gray sky. Neal works highlight everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus. Artist statement: A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
