Vito M. Pinto
born in Italy lives in the USA
His subject may be of surrealistic, metaphorical or metaphysical elements.
His use of color moves his work through the linear, cylindrical patterns of his mind's eye and brings each piece to a new perspective reflecting the constant changes of his ongoing thought processes which comes from his past, present and his emotions. Surrealistic human shapes evolve from this change.

Arturo Morín
from México
La pintura de Arturo Morín nos puede hacer imaginar nuevos mundos o regresarnos a mundos ya imaginados. donde las figuras tan simples como: los animales, los humanos y siempre (casi sin excepción), la luna son las formas que explotan la imaginación.

michael manning
from the USA
"My paintings began to use stories within mythology, along with my perspective of right and wrong, as a framework for addressing current issues faced by society. While my use of established mythology has been vital, my current work has established a more immediate relevance. I've been able to deal more directly with these issues of morality, mortality, and injustice."

Narissa Butler
from Australia
"When I started painting my girls, I began with simple poses and use of colour, in what I would describe as naive in expression, and perhaps even graphic in style. To me, my paintings express a sense of longing, of nostalgia, of something missing. "

Barbara Warren
from NY, USA
"I paint eccentric scenes because I've always been fascinated by the ability of artists to make their inmost imaginings visible to others. My work erases the line between humans and other creatures and often shows strange beings performing familiar activities. I start with accidents in order to incorporate lots of surprises in the work. I remove my strong eyeglasses and run amok at a usually large canvas with paint, oil sticks, or just muddy turp. Replacing my glasses, I then step back and search for what the Zen artists term "happy accidents." What frequently appear out of the chaos are potential creatures, places, objects and--if I'm lucky--entire stories. I enhance these suggestions up to the edge of recognition, allowing the viewer to see what I see or something from their own imagination."

Paul Pretzer
from Germany
These paintings present a strange fantasy world where everyone resembles a cartoon animal with a human body. Each work reveals another unusual scene often involving some form of amputation or decapitation.

Joyce Garner
from Kentucky, USA
Garner's paintings are revelations of 'private life.' Through such themes as solitude, sensuality, sexuality, aging, death, and relationships, Garner imparts in her work significant issues of the human psyche and condition.

James & Lindy Ivey
from San Diego, California
James dreams up creatures-octopus people, aliens with four eyes and smiley-faced robot dudes with long, creepy legs-and paints them into surreal dreamscapes. Lindy's characters are just as twisted-evil-eyed bunnies, scary cats and zombie chicks decorate her canvases. It makes you wonder: What exactly is going on in that household of theirs?
