Berlin, Germany, February 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Tomohisa Ishizuka / Japan, *1980
“What I want to paint, are pieces that excite me, pieces that shiver my soul.
Running lines and throwing colors onto a white blank canvas as the body wishes to move, concentrating on the ever-changing screen, selecting the lines and colors that catch the eye of the heart. As a result, my work becomes complete.”
Ivar Kaasik / Estonia, *1965
“Using op-art techniques, but also new multimedia technology, Kaasik puts painting in a modern context. His works are full of ‘naturalness’ - the viewer is free to form their own opinions and not merely swallow the predestined thoughts of the painter or follow any strict guidelines.” - Peeter Kormasov
Alexander Kosyak / Russia, *1957
“I construct emotional images-symbols and aspire that in my work they are ambiguous, mysterious, but clearly readable. In some works I create a situation of uncertainty, a flowing transition of the image-symbol from one state to another, as sign of conversion and exchange of modern and ancient cultures of East and West.”
Raphael Pollack / USA, *1942
“My attempt in painting is to create form through color and not the other way around. I love the moment when that happens but it happens so to speak in its own time and especially not when I want it. It’s a process that involves much patience. While painting you watch some-thing grow knowing it can change its direction at any moment.”
