Catharsis Through Creativity

Painting is therapy for Robert Steven Connett, who hit rock bottom at a young age with drugs, alcohol, and depression. Upon many years of struggle, he reconnected with painting as an outlet for self expression, as well as a fulfilled dream to become an artist.  He quoted, "Now I create art for catharsis, self fulfillment, personal income and pleasure."  He continues, "If my work makes a statement beyond me, about our society or the human condition, it is because I am a person of this world, and my experiences are a small part of the human condition."

These artwork are painted with acrylic on gessoed wood panel.  Robert Steven Connett is currently living with his wife in Los Angeles.  He has an upcoming group exhibition at the Aqua Art Fair for the Art Basel Miami, December 3 - 6.

Fluidity

Jake Walters gives true meaning to form and fashion, as he combine still life with human form. He took inspiration from Europe Endless, a song by Kraftwerk. These beautiful photos were published on Cent Magazine, a bi-annual publication based in UK.  Cent Magazine uses no journalists, instead they invite artists to choose a topic and present to the public for an open discussion.

Jake Walters is base in the East End of London.  He realized his talent in photography upon shooting his first photographs of Morrissey and was used on numerous singles.  Jake studied photography at West Surrey Institute of Art & Design, currently known as University College for the Creative Arts.  He is now the leading fashion, portrait and commercial photographer.  Here is a partial list of celebrities he photographed: Robbie Williams, James Blunt, Aphex Twin, Dustin Hoffman, Keira Knightly, Dennis Hopper, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christenson, and more.

A Gem Of San Antonio

Viewing the work Jason Limón's paintings in person puts me in a state of awe, the degraded style with great color choices and textural effects of acrylic on canvas. Some of his paintings are dissected and puzzled back to completion. His distinct visions are truly creative and inspiring.

Jason Limón studied fine arts and graphic design at San Antonio College in Texas. Upon years of experience as a designer with numerous awards, he decided to transition from a digital graphic designer to a traditional painter, developing his artistic style and self expression. Check out his current group exhibition "Into The Mystic" at 1988 Gallery in San Francisco, which will run until December 5, and another group show at Strychnin, titled "Magistrates" in Berlin, Germany, ending on December 6. Lastly, a solo show "Tranfiguration" at Rotofugi in Chicago, Illinois on March 19 - April 4, 2010.
