Although she now lives in the United States, Kathryn White's inspiration comes from a former home, the beautiful Cotswold Hills in Cheltenham, England.
Kathryn finds the Old World to be an endless source for themes, concepts, colors, designs and decorative elements, which she celebrates in her art. Her current work fuses contemporary materials and traditional methods, with the use of mixed media and textural finishes.
This versatile artist paints in oils, watercolors, and the centuries-old medium of egg tempera. Her work in oils, in particular, has brought her considerable acclaim, and her award-winning paintings are featured in numerous private collections.
Chiu Tak Hak is a self-taught artist from China whose work has received recognition at art shows and galleries in Germany, Paris and Hong Kong. In 1972, he moved to Paris and was attracted to the city’s historic shops and cafes; places that are still and quite like a stage waiting for players to arrive. The moodiness and mystery of these buildings evoke a feeling of solitude, which Chiu sought to translate onto canvas.
His style combines realism and elements of impressionism and abstractionism. He builds around a realistic central image, and then adds collage and other elements to add depth.
