Days of Delight - Abstract Versus Figurative Oil Painting with Aqua Blue Colors
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's Days of Delight is a 44 x 20 inches oil painting. The main color is aqua blue. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant-based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. This painting is part of a new series that concentrates on using natural colors only, extracted from plants. Natural Indigo, Turmeric, Hibiscus, Beet Root, Rosemary Leaf, Aloe Extract, and Holi Powders to name a few, mixed with Babul Tree Resin.

Untitled # 1 2 - 2008 - Expressionist Black and White Portrait of Young Man
By Jean-Luc Fievet
Located in New York, NY
This is a 39" x 39" black and white archival giclée print on archival exhibition paper. It is part of a limited edition of 6 plus 2 AP. Signed and numbered in the back.
It is a very expressionist full-face, close-up portrait of a young African American man. The very contrasted lighting makes it very powerful and very sculptural.
Jean-Luc Fievet is best known for his black and white photographs portraying people and everyday street life. His work is marked by both an expressionistic approach for the close-up portraits, as well as a documentary freshness for the street scenes portraying the every-day life of different urban realities.
Jean-Luc’s journey into photography began by recording intimate moments of his family and the families of close friends. When he moved to Paris he discovered a new world that he adopted immediately, the city. His work then led him to New York, where he settled permanently. He states: “Photography for me is a constant exploration of powerful emotions, of sensuality, of the reality around me and the dreams within.”

Mumbo Jumbo BK#1 - Ironic Figurative Painting with Pink and Blue Colors
By Francks Deceus
Located in New York, NY
Francks Deceus’ “Mumbo Jumbo BK#1” is a 20 x 16 inch acrylic paint, color pencil, and collage painting on canvas. The main colors are pink, blue and red. The image is very playful, showing a man dressed as a superhero standing next to an entangled fire hose. The title “Mumbo Jumbo, is inspired by Ishmael Reed’s book under the same titled, where he attempted to capsulate the complexities of the African American experience. For Deceus is about capturing the complexity of his experience as an immigrant from Haiti back in the 1970s. A series of very colorful and playful works, focusing on the adventures of one figure named “Cappy”. The name is derived from Deceus family home town, Cap Haitien. Cappy is Deceus alter-ego; The images are intentionally drawn in the vein of comic strips with Cappy as the superhero. He goes out in the world and has to solve the kind of frightening experiences Deceus knew about as a Haitian immigrant, which in the paintings are ironically represented by the hose/snake snarling Cappy.
Stylistically Deceus work incorporates many of the aesthetic forms of artists like Norman Lewis and Howardena...

Shaped by the Elements - Poetry Painting with Poem by the Artist
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's Shaped by the Elements is a 60 x 39 inches oil painting representing a poem laid on a green background. The modulated green shades frame the poem placed in the center. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. The surface is scraped and incised with words and signs, almost like graffiti on a wall or inscriptions on an archaeological fragment. The poem is written on top of a different colored impasto that creates the illusion as if it was written on ancient pergamena. Like for the ancient Chinese painter Wu Zhen, the composition focus on the dynamic balance of the elements. The poem, written by the artist, reads
“On fire tho’ not in desire
Kept wet from training for this occasion
If to wonder let’s say by the rains in summer, I’m covered
Can’t stand the fragility of castles created from sand and so
should be able to defend against them, somehow
So to say fragile is the law of this land, this man
Babylon burns
Such rhetoric from the emancipated, educated tho’ vegetated,
shouting in the alley’s of folly is their anthem, forgetting to
freedom fighters as replacements for them
The earth burns by lightning to replenish the finished, replaced
by quick wit and vegan breakfast
Continue to insinuate as the fire burns
Continue to read the menu; the entrée holds a new batch of
manure, to adore
Continue till the fire burns me brown...

Black and White - Painting with Graffiti and Poetry on Thick Impasto
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's Black and White is a 18 x 15 inches oil painting. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. The main colors are black, white and gray. The surface is scraped and incised with words and signs, almost like graffiti on a wall or inscriptions on an archaeological fragment.
Parris was born in NY and grew up in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, until he was ten years old. Partly Jamaican and Blackfoot Indian from his father's side and partly Arawak Indian from his mother, Parris brings into his creative process a wonderful mix of different ethnicities that reflects throughout his work.
The artist states "Throughout my life I have always been dedicated to Art but painting has added a patience of perception and love to my conscience mind, as well cultivating my unconscious. Painting gives me a confidence and inner security that has been hard for me to attain elsewhere. When I say a piece has turned out really well, a certain balance has been achieved between composition, perspective, color and depth giving my creative side a jolt. Although my works change frequently in form depending on mood and inspiration, the one thing that remains the same in all my works is an abstract touch. I am drawn mostly to abstract expression for the free-flowing aspect of creation.
My favorite material is Plant-Pigment-Powder (ex; Sea Algae, Hibiscus, Gymnema Sylvestre and Turmeric powder. Mixing these pigments reminds me that nature is the purest example of artistic perfection and composition open to interpretation for all. With this understanding I am able to open communications with the energies of nature. the main purpose of these herbs are for medicinal healing, when I add it to my medium it adds an ethereal quality to my works. When I select my materials, I am very specific with my choices, after trial and error I work exclusively with denser herbs giving me the texture I desire and is compatible with oil paints and acrylics, adding depth and longevity to the works. Although I am drawn to blues, reds and blacks for body, my favorite colors are the highlights, whites, yellows, and light grey. I know a piece is done when it feels right, with clarity, movement and composition also complementing my sense of imagination. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of wonder and creative joy open to all possibilities of creation. When people see my painting’s I like them to share a part of my thoughts and inspiration, looking at the artist and his works from the inside. I reach my end goal when the painting has connected another link in the chain of an individual’s emotions."

Apache Revolution - Poetry Painting With Photograph of Geronimo From 1886
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's Apache Revolution is a 20 x 16 inches oil painting. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India. The surface is scraped and incised with words and signs, almost like graffiti on a wall or inscriptions on an archaeological fragment. A copy of the famous homeland security poster from 1886, picturing Apache leader Geronimo and 3 warriors, is placed in the center.
Parris was born in NY and grew up in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, until he was ten years old. Partly Jamaican and Blackfoot Indian from his father's side and partly Arawak Indian from his mother, Parris brings into his creative process a wonderful mix of different ethnicities that reflects throughout his work.

Birth of Light - Abstract Gestural Oil Painting with Orange and Yellow Colors
By Ruggero Vanni
Located in New York, NY
Ruggero Vanni's Birth of Light is a 60 x 48 inch abstract gestural oil painting. It is an abstract landscape of vigorous brushstrokes and light, with a strong luminous central focus. The main colors are orange, yellow, and rust. There are clear references to the masters of the Hudson River School, also known as Luminism, as well as the Romantic paintings of English artist William Turner.
Vanni states, "My works allude to natural phenomena, in a raw state, devoid of the limiting constrictions of literal representation. Nature is there, as a landscape, a view looking up in the air, or plunging down underwater. Imagery kept on the edge of recognition, so the final association is created in the mind.
Contrasts of matter, color, light, are created to provoke emotional responses. In the large paintings the atmospheric composition is built by raised brushstrokes shattered and reassembled to reveal an underlying struggle. In the smaller works paper is cast tumultuously as a counterpoint to its inherent frailness.
References to the history of painting are multiple and mixed: Venetian impasto and glazing, Luminist light, Abstract Expressionist texture, Baroque perspective.
It is important to avoid mannerism, metabolize the suggestions and integrate them with empirical visual stimuli.
Dissecting responses to everyday experiences into light, color, matter. There is no intent to escape reality, but to create a visual experience that communicates directly with our psyche; open to be reinterpreted continuously through our own evolution and the changing times."
Ruggero Vanni was born in Paris. He studied painting from 1973 to 1978 at the Istituto d’Arte in Rome, Italy, under the guidance of Italian artist Michelangelo Conte...
