Interview with Wanning Liao

As a visual artist, my works are not intended for personal enjoyment alone but to explore complex issues of international politics, economics, war and peace, and state and international relations through the language of art. These works are not only part of the international political landscape but also an objective reflection of the current realities of people's lives.

Artist Spotlight - Patricia RAIN Gianneschi

In my work, my desire is to bring the viewer into a space where they become open to the forces of imagination and spirit. I believe Art can transform us. I believe art can take us to a new awareness, create new sensations, and form. For me, the act of painting is an act of spiritual practice. I enter the painting with body and mind, searching for the images as I wander through the canvas, pickup my guitar, play piano or sit down to write. I am a conjugated artist, working across poetics.

Artist Spotlight - Atom Hovhanesyan

The seemingly chaotic application of lines (cross hatches) is intentional, I'm trying to follow in line of the post divisionist paintings, creating a unified fabric of the plane, modeling with parallel hatch marks would go against this, and would make it more of a plastic approach, and would emphasize the distinction of background foreground. In short I'm trying to arrive at impressionistic use of ink as the medium with surreal or symbolic mindset.

Artist Spotlight - L. Scooter Morris

My goal is to make artwork that is so beautiful it cuts to the heart of what is true, to create art that is of this moment, but exists as something timeless. It resonates with the person viewing the work as real although it is not quite realistic. It has meaning, although that is not specifically stated because of its use of color or symbolism, or imagery.

In 2007 she was selected to attend the Norfolk Summer Residency for Music and Art at Yale University and continued her studies at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Artist Spotlight - Anne Walbring

Anne is a Brazilian visual artist who studied Fine Arts at the University of Belas Artes de São Paulo. Her work is distinguished by a unique ability to capture emotions, blending restlessness and tenderness to create vibrant and expressive paintings. Since childhood, art has been a defining presence in her life, profoundly shaping her creative journey.

Artist Spotlight - Neo Rauch

Neo Rauch's paintings are characterized by a unique combination of realism and surrealist abstraction. In many of his compositions, human figures engaged in manual labor or indeterminable tasks work against backdrops of mundane architecture, industrial settings, or bizarre and often barren landscapes.

Rebeccah Klodt

Rebeccah Klodt stands as a beacon in today’s artistic landscape. Her work is not just relevant; it is necessary. It reminds us that art, at its best, does not tell us what to think or feel. It gives us the space to remember that we already know. In every brushstroke, every textured fold of canvas, and every mirrored glint, Klodt leaves us not with conclusions, but with the courage to keep asking beautiful questions.

Jeong-Ah Zhang

In the fluid, ever-redefining world of contemporary visual art, few voices carry both the weight of philosophy and the poetry of form quite like Jeong-Ah Zhang. Born, raised, and based in Seoul, South Korea, she emerges not just as a painter, but as a profound existentialist who uses canvas, color, and symbol as portals to metaphysical dialogue. Her work defies the binary of image and meaning, instead functioning as a continual meditation on what it means to see, to feel, to exist.
