Iris Scott | Painting with fingers / hands

Finger / hand painting is now fine art at the hands of 28 year old American painter Iris Scott.

Scott creates vibrant paintings with a unique, stylistic Finger painting process, using surgical gloves and placing the oil paint directly on her hands.

Rapidly applying thick oil color with several points of contact rather than one Scott can be classified as a modern Impressionist..with a twist.

Her inspiration is found on the road as her composition-hunting continues to take her abroad. Recently back from Thailand, Iris is now finished making her newest collection of 10+ Thai originals.

In 2009 Fabian Perez* was named the official artist of the 10th annual Latin Grammy Awards. In 2010 Perez was selected to paint the 2010 Winter Olympics.

For Fabian Perez, the purpose of art is to perpetuate beauty.

"That is what I am always striving for. God created the world and embellished it with the wonders of nature. I think it is the artist’s job to embellish it with his work".

"I am constantly fighting for a more romantic world, one where the woman and the man have defined roles and power isn’t always the goal".

Pausing, he says, "I would like to say that it is not important what you have, but how you enjoy it".

Malvina Hoffman | Les Saisons Russes

Il talento scultoreo della Malvina Hoffman divenne particolarmente famoso con le sue rappresentazioni della leggendaria ballerina russa Anna Pavlova 1881-1931.

L'ispirazione della Hoffman per creare questi pannelli nacque dopo aver assistito ad una performance dei ballerini russi Anna Pavlova e Mikhail Mordkin nel balletto 'Baccanale Autunnale' Op. 67 di Alexander Glazunov a Londra.

Dopo il ritorno a Parigi, la Hoffman convinse il suo mentore di permetterle di lavorare sulla serie, piuttosto che concentrarsi sulle commissioni ritratto più ordinarie.
