Contemporary art – Abbey McCulloch (Australie) – born 1975, New Zealand, lives and works in Queensland.
Abbey McCulloch paints quirky sometimes unsettling, representations of female figures sketched onto a sparse background. Working with bold colour choices and often highly textured facial features, McCulloch creates visually engaging paintings, resulting in figures that entice us, yet stand guarded and restrained within our presence. Raw emotion is presented to us through the use of loose charcoal sketches that work up to the highly worked-up painted facial expressions. “I like the idea of exposing the processes and, in doing so, the final product is left with a more restless conclusion.” (source : hscvisualartresources)
Emanuele Dascanio Painter Artist. (Italia)
Emanuele Dascanio was born in Garbagnate Milanese in 1983.
After graduating from art school Lucio Fontana di Arese, in 2003 he enrolled at the Academy of Brera painting section: having learned to live in an environment decadent for the same painting, leave after six months.
Continuing, however, to have the desire and the need for artistic growth, in 2007 I began the study of Gianluca Corona, finding in him a good teacher and learning the technique of oil painting.
He has participated in various competitions and exhibitions nationally and internationally, ranking near the top.
Emanuele Dascanio is a perfectionist, he has devoted much time to the study of artistic techniques and the search for continuous improvement in his skills as a painter, before embarking on the exhibition schedule.
Nathalie Deshairs – Peinture « le cygne noir »
EXPO
jusqu’au 13 décembre : Melting Art Gallery 34 rue de la Halle – 59000 Lille, France
Nathalie Deshairs est née en 1964 à Grenoble. Elle vit et travaille à Menton. Après avoir étudié à l’école des Beaux-arts d’Aix-en-Provence et enseigné à l’école d’Art Plastiques de Menton, elle se consacre exclusivement à son art depuis 2004.
« Il y a dans les tableaux de Nathalie Deshairs le commencement de quelque chose qui va prendre forme sous nos yeux et dont on ne sait rien encore sinon qu’il baigne dans une torpeur monochrome ouverte à toutes les évolutions. Le mouvement personnifié, via une technique sans faille, encre de Chine et pierre noire. Tout l’art de l’artiste est ici de donner l’illusion du geste, de découvrir le corps, ses frontières, sa plastique dans un espace uni. Des courbes s’entrelacent, se chevauchent, se confrontent, donnant à l’ensemble du dessin une respiration saisissante. La superposition de tonalités translucides, quelques taches, quelques coulures, apportent la profondeur, l’évanescence. Le corps humain flotte dans l’espace, c’est l’esprit qui se libère de toutes les contraintes, qui s’affranchit de la pesanteur. Et cet art est difficile, que l’on ne s’y trompe pas, nul repentir n’y étant permis… Art difficile, car pour atteindre à tant de légèreté, il faut de toute évidence avoir côtoyé la gravité du monde. Une peinture de nuances et de finesses en laquelle il faut se laisser absorber »

Contemporain Syrian art Safwan Dahoul.
Born in 1961 in Hama, Syria, Safwan Dahoul lives and works in Dubai.
Safwan Dahoul explores the corporal and psychological effects of alienation, solitude, and longing that punctuate the human experience at various stages in life. Partly autobiographical, his ongoing Dream series utilises the formal properties of painting to recreate the subconscious sense of enclosure that surfaces during times of crisis, whether in mourning, estrangement, or political conflict. Dahoul’s recurring female protagonist facilitates this visceral encounter through her contorted body, often-vacant eyes, and minimised yet monumental physicality. Frequently depicted in the confinement of ambiguous settings, she is invariably defined by architectural details and the placement of interior accents such as a table or chair, deepening the state of her disaffection, as even the familiar becomes a site of distress.

HyperRealism paintings with Hubert de Lartigue (FR). French painter and illustrator. Acrylic on canvas.
Portraits, Nudes and details.
“The portrait is a classic theme in the world of painting. However, I try to create elements of surprise in each of my portraits, the way I crop them, the expression or the attitude of the models. But the power of the portrait lies above all in the look of the model, which is unique each time. All I have to do is underline the strength and the intensity.”
Narrative paintings of James Guppy, born in London (1954). Live and work in Australia.
Guppy’s powerful and enigmatic narrative-based paintings travelled to eleven different locations in Australia in a national solo touring survey show (2009 – 11). Throughout his career, Guppy’s subject matter has varied from surreal moments, scenes of suspense, explosion clouds, formidable women and anthropomorphic beings, all executed with a refined and intelligent approach, appearing both dramatic and lifelike.
Fabulous Illustrator artist Russ Mills. (UK)
« My work dwells in a netherworld between urban fine art and contemporary graphics, A collision of real and digital media it is primarily illustration based with a firm foundation in drawing, I focus mainly on the human form particularly the face, interweaving elements from the animal kingdom often reflecting the absurdity of human nature. »
