MILES WILLIAMS MATHIS












Biography:
Miles W. Mathis is an anachronism, a romantic artist who feels he doesn't quite fit into the modern age. He describes his work as unabashedly unmodern and completely antithetical to the concerns of modern art. Mathis took great care to establish a link to the past in his art education. Using the now out of style method of copywork he learned techniques from the Old Masters he admires. But Mathis strives for more than technical skill in his work; he wants to create more than a literal or decorative rendering of a subject. He considers his work a personal expression of the aesthetic. For Mathis the human figure, more than any other subject, has the power to engage the viewer. He delights in the subtle play of light and shadow on reflective surfaces such as hair and skin to suggest mood. Over and over he can paint the same model, varying the experience by using pencil, pastel, watercolor, charcoal, and oil.

KARIN JEANNE









Biography:
In Karin Jeanne pictures, the viewer is taken on a journey through the mysterious world of childhood. Animals and dolls become the protagonists in her works. She quite literally develops her images playfully, by applying flecks of colour and smudges that appear almost accidental. Karin Jeanne´s pictures seem to contain a mysterious magic. The figures are imbedded in profuse foliage, which both protects them and at the same time, separates them from the real world. This allows a microcosm, or another world, to develop in her pictures. Born in 1968, she lives and works in France.

Biography:
Pradip Sengupta. I am a visual artist.I have completed my M.F.A from Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan.Presently working in Delhi. My paintings are the images of the world - as seen by my eyes. my experiences as the man of this society compel me to develop a visual language which talks about my reactions at various situations.My experiences, sometimes as a passive onlooker and sometimes as an active participant, constitute the subject of my paintings.My journey from a small town in Bengal to the artistic atmosphere of Santiniketan and then to the busy and crowded life of Delhi, have had a deep impact on my life. All along the path of this journey I got the opportunity to experience life at different levels – the atmosphere changed with time and space…but emotions and experiences of a common man like me-the aspiration, struggles and achievements, the protest, grievances, damages all remain unchanged… The images of this life as shown by me are at times very symbolic. It may appear imaginative or random fantasy, but they hold their roots in the real world.
