David Imlay
David Imlay‘s approach to painting draws influence from twentieth century American Contemporary Realism as well as Photorealism which both emerged in the late 1960′s and early 1970′s. Artists such as Robert Bechtle, Richard Estes and John Register utilized a straightforward approach to representation which continues to be widely practiced in these post-abstract eras. Born and raised in San Juan Capistrano, David first realized his passion art at an early age. He was fortunate enough to have the encouragement and support of his family and was heavily inspired by his grandfather Theron Imlay a Southwest Oil and Pastel Artist. David studied Illustration at San Jose State University as well as Lorenzo De Medici in Florence, Italy. He graduated with a BFA in Illustration in 2001 and currently resides in San Francisco, where he now works as a freelance Illustrator and Fine Artist.
Chromosaturation by Carlos Cruz-Diez
Carlos Cruz-Diez (Caracas, 1923) has lived and worked in Paris since 1960. His artistic roots reach back to the Movimiento Cinético [Kinetic Movement] of the 1950s and 1960s. As his thinking on the visual arts has evolved, his ideas have changed attitudes on how color is perceived in art. According to his artist’s statement, color is an autonomous reality, devoid of anecdotes, that evolves in real time and space with no need of form or support.

Arth Daniels
Self taught, Brit artist Arth Daniels isn’t quite what you’d expect from a portrait artist. Having exhibited in some of the UK’s leading portrait galleries including the National Portrait Gallery throughout his early career his personal work is anything but traditional. In 2007 Arth made it his personal goal to shift away from the generalised associations of portraiture, and to produce work that is honest, colourful and contemporary. Painted from a mix of both live subjects and multimedia assemblage his work is an ode to portraitures ability to capture the expression, character and form of the subject without explicit use of the human face alone. Inspired by Cinema, Make-up artistry and Visual F/X Arth’s body of work knowingly utilises his studies in photorealism to portray the grandeur of facial expression, identity and form whilst incorporating elements of humour along the way.

Patrick Jacobs
Patrick Jacobs‘ dioramas ‘consists of a meticulously constructed, three-dimensional diorama installed within the wall and viewed through a circular window of glass lenses. The combination of the negative focal length of the lenses and sculptural foreshortening creates the illusion of seemingly infinite depth within the limitations of a narrow space. The result is a distorted reality corrected only when seen through the lenses.’ (via Volta NY)
