Luis De Leõn, 1950 | Fashion painter

Inspiration principale: The beauty. His work is technically flawless. Her gesture is sure, and the chromatic palette responds perfectly to her visionary impulses, whose inspiration is obviously the mystery of feminine sensuality..

Love is there but it cannot be seen, it can be guessed.

It is both decorative and fascinating, an invitation to a permanent and inspiring reverie.

Idyllic vision of a breast or a croup deliciously and barely revealed, an often transparent silk. Everything is more suggested than visible, and when it is visible, what we do not see, leaves it to our imagination to create it in the image of what we would like.

Catlin Harrison ~ Abstract artist

A Londoner by birth and inclination, the city provides for me a fresh daily helping of eclectic people to watch and wonder about.
'I'm endlessly fascinated with the human form, especially meta-figures like ghosts or dolls or archetypes. Sometimes I think my work stems from a collectors' sensibility - particularly those Victorian do-gooders who pinned butterflies or measured skulls. Each piece of work is an independent specimen, a set of examples of a particular type.
Presence, oddity, beauty and humour are important elements in all my work, as is colour and aesthetics'.

Cecilia Paredes, 1950 ~ Body painter

Cecilia Paredes was born in Lima, Peru and currently lives and works between Philadelphia, PA US and Lima, Peru. Cecilia builds objects mainly using discarded natural elements and with her work, re creates another language. She also does performances using make up, body painting or any other resource to create her anthropomorphic images, transforming herself into animals, plants or landscapes. These acts are registered on photography, creating her photoperformances.
She studied at the Catholic University Art School in Lima, at the Cambridge Arts and Crafts School in England and at the Scuola del Nudo in Rome, Italy. Cecilia is a Rockefeller Fellow since 1998.

Daniel Ridgway Knight | Genre / Figurative painter

Daniel Ridgway Knight’s (15 March 1839 - 9 March 1924) works represent so many aspects of Ninetee­nth Century painting, in­cluding history, genre, landscape, portrait and floral themes.

In each work, all that is aesthetic is recorded with fine detail and skill.In order to faithfully record the scenery, night studied the different phases of the day and their effects on the environ­ment.

Knight built a glass studio outside of his home, enabl­ing him to paint outdoors, even in the dead of winter.

Whether he was concen­trating on the evening with the glow of moon­light upon the Seine River or on a young woman in a brightly colored flower garden at midday, each scene is depicted with great detail and with specific attention to a realistic portrayal of the landscape.

Peter Graham Roi, 1959 | Modern Colourist painter

Peter Graham Roi has earned a reputation as one of Britain's most gifted and distinctive Modern Colourists.

Still life occupies an important place in Peter Graham’s output, affording an opportunity to explore colour in a reflective manner.

"In the peace and quiet of my studio", he wrote in a recent article for ‘The Artist’, "I can focus on the particular characteristics of a pigment, trying to get to the truth of what colour actually is and understanding more about the special relationships between specific colours like red, green or yellow. Still Life painting is the perfect vehicle for this type of expression".
