Foreign Images Artist Katerina Mourouzi – Markou | Impulse 2

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Katerina Mourouzi – Markou Athens, Greece Impulse 2 Acrylic Painting Artist Statement Walking in the forest during autumn, I thought the nature palette was a kind of magic. I felt the need to capture that beauty forever! Sounds, colours! The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries.

Foreign Images Artist Woody Miller | Sentinel

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Woody Miller San Mateo, California Sentinel Acrylic with resin coating. Artist Statement The wonder and mystery witnessed in the smashing together of humanity is what often draws me to the ‘city’.  Each city, each village, every town, has it’s own thumbprint created by the people who travel through and those who call it home. Through painting, I aim to reflect the paradigm that is a city – the mingling and weaving together of various cultures, different bodies, all manner of food, beauty, style, and religions, to form a new identity. It is this coming together that createsRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Virginia Pick | Golden Gates

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Virginia Pick Fargo, North Dakota Golden Gates Fine Art Photography Artist Statement I have always been drawn to the smaller details when photographing: The deterioration of a wall, the intentional or unintentional patterns, the texture of a material, how the light reflects off a surface, how objects look from different angles. It all intrigues me, and, yet, it is the smaller details such as this that many people tend to overlook the most.  It is for this reason that I strive to capture these details in my photography. I aim to not only to capture, but toRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Vincent Mattina | Magnetic Highway

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Vincent Mattina Long Beach, California Magnetic Highway Digital Art Artist Statement My artwork focuses primarily on spiritual, technological and environmental issues. I have been formally trained in drawing and painting in college where computer aided art had not been introduced to me. Today however, I prefer to use technology as my paintbrush. Computers touch our lives in every capacity. I use computer technology everyday for my art and professionally in my art direction and design. I find no other media executes my ideas with such completion as digital art. In my piece, “ Magnetic Highway” I haveRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Vanessa Varjian | Floridian Landscape

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Vanessa Varjian Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, USA Floridian Landscape Mixed Media Artist Statement The landscape fascinates me because it is a familiar space that thrives and cycles without human interference. My perception of a landscape changes if it is new territory, as was the space represented in Floridian Landscape. Working from life as well as recalling on my past experiences, observation, memory, and invention are used to sculpt a space that is recognizable yet refreshing.  The painting is generously built up with material, and a history of the process remains visible through acts of scraping, glazing, blanketing andRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Vanessa Varjian | Riding To Szczebrzeszyn

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Vanessa Varjian Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts Riding to Szczebrzeszyn Acrylic and watercolor on gessoed paper Artist Statement In the last few years I have developed a fascination with farms, fields, crops, and lifestyles of physical labor. During a recent working trip in Poland, I spent a lot of time traveling on buses through the countryside. Gazing for hours at the landscape whizzing past the windows was one of my most memorable experiences in the foreign country.  I longed to walk through the yards of apple trees and around the rectangular, golden fields, inspecting the colors and textures. AtRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Stephanie Paine | Exile

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Stephanie Paine Istanbul, Turkey Exile Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Exile is an ongoing photographic series about the Princes’ Islands in the Sea of Marmara. Out of a total of nine islands, only four are accessible by a one hour boat trip. These islands were used by several empires as places of exile hosting Byzantine royalty, political figures, and even the once over-populated packs of dogs roaming the streets. The photographs aim to represent the exiled, circling the islands looking out towards the horizon. The use of the pinhole camera allows for the unseen to be capturedRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Sidhartha Pani | Overlooking Charles Bridge

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sidhartha Pani Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts Overlooking Charles Bridge Oil Painting Artist Statement Last April my wife and I visited Prague where our son was doing a semester abroad. Prague was overcast, wet and gloomy. On the second day, we visited Prague Castle; a lovely, but confusing maze of buildings and museums. We later walked to a dock for a short cruise on the Vltava. It had started to drizzle and I stood under a ledge savoring the relief of not having to walk any further. As I gazed across the river, I was captivated by the silhouetteRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Olivier Tourlet | Foreign Photography 3

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Olivier Tourlet Paris, France Foreign Photography 3 Fine Art Photography Artist Statement Biography : Born in 1965 in Paris, I am a self-taught photographer from the age of 10 when I won my first amateur contest with my brother in 1975.  He became a photographer himself, earlier than I did, but died unfortunately much too soon, 15 years ago. This created an underlying passion that became a deep desire to create anchored in my eyes. To never forget that the sun never rises for nothing.  Where I am is not smaller or bigger than where I live. It is alwaysRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Michael Mckay | Jules Verne At The Eiffel Tower, Paris

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Michael Mckay Costa Mesa, California Jules Verne at the Eiffel Tower, Paris Ink and Pen Artist Statement I can look at a drawing in my sketchbook from years ago, and I can still feel the wind, remember the smells, and feel the essence of that place, on that particular day.  For some reason, the process of what I call plein air line drawing, where the drawing is created right then and there, in the moment, seems to really capture that special sense of place. Line drawing captures that essence, in just a few lines. It allows theRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Katz Michael | Madrid Trees – 4

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Katz Michael Miami, Florida, USA Madrid Trees – 4 Digital Art Artist Statement While attending the 4th grade,in Brooklyn,N.Y,we had a task to recite any poem that we wanted. I can across a poem titled”Leisure”,by William Davis. To this day I still recite it and this one poem has inspired the main focus of all my work: What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, WhereRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Joy Bauer | Nyhavn Street Canal

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Joy Bauer Skokie, Illinois Nyhavn Street Canal Oil Painting Artist Statement This piece is from one of my European business trips where I was lucky enough to have a Danish friend give me some tips on where to go to see some of the most picturesque Copenhagen streets and scenic views including this one of Nyhavn Street.  Against a backdrop of traditional colorful Nordic buildings the Nyhavn part of the city is full of life with many lovely outdoor cafés and pubs. As a realism painter, I wanted to capture the vibrant detail of the scene butRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Joanna Przybylak | The Road

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Joanna Przybylak Chicago, Illinois The Road Mixed Media Artist Statement The Road was modeled after I saw a picture that was taken from outer space of Jiddah and the road to Mecca at night. Even though there is war in the Middle East, something beautiful is happening at the same time. People from all over the world, young and old, rich and poor are all gathering together in an act of faith and love that produces an effect that is literally out of this world. The Road is created by distressing magazine pages and then saturating themRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Helis Podnek | Greyhound

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Helis Podnek Mayerthorpe, Canada Greyhound Illustration Artist Statement I grew up in a small village called Veskitaguse which stands in the midst of the thick forests and soft meadows in Estonia. Being a lucky person, I got a chance to travel around the world and learn a lot about different cultures, cities and meet the most wonderful people, here as well as on the other side of the ocean.  I have seen and learned a lot about the life and the mind of the big cities, however, the bond the humans share with nature is what I consider to beRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Harriet Barratt | Dam

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Harriet Barratt Los Angeles, California Dam Acrylic Painting Artist Statement Looking at life through a scientific scope, we see a delicate balance of biological, physical, and chemical processes which allows our existence. These phenomena are often unassuming, but occur in virtually every system we encounter.   My work is an attempt to document these small wonders in a more tangible way. For instance, by isolating a dam from its environment, it can be seen with a new perspective. It is no longer an overlooked part of a landscape, but important in its own right, drawing a balance betweenRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Harriet Barratt | Why Don’t You And I Just Get Out Of This Place?

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Harriet Barratt Los Angeles, California Why don’t you and I just get out of this place? Acrylic Painting Artist Statement In his Meditations, ancient Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius makes an astute comment on ugliness in the natural world– “…if a man have but inclination and thought to examine the product of the universe, he will find that the most unpromising appearances have their own appropriate charm”.  In both a concrete and abstract way, I wish to explore this pretense of ugliness, offering a new perspective, and perhaps even a message of hope. The views expressed by ourRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Erik Kaye | Waterfalls In Nikko

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Erik Kaye Funabashi, Japan Waterfalls in Nikko Watercolor Artist Statement This is a sight-seeing painting I did at Kirifuri no Taki (Kirifuri’s Waterfalls) in Nikko, where the great Shogun Tokugawa is enshrined. The painting retains a very Japanese style sense, while employing Western colors and paints. In watercolor you cannot paint a lighter color over a darker color as you can with acrylics or oil paints, because watercolors are too transparent. So the lightest colors in the picture, like for the leaves in the foreground, are reserved for the raw paper itself while more transparent colors areRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Ekaterina Bykhovskaya | Jerusalem, Old City, 6

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Ekaterina Bykhovskaya Strasbourg, France Jerusalem, Old City, 6 Fine Art Photography Artist Statement This image forms part of a series in which I was seeking to capture both the contemplative feel and the very lively spirit of the Old City of Jerusalem. I have arranged the photographs, taken primarily in the Jewish Quarter, into diptychs. Whereas one part of the diptych is completely devoid of human presence, the other part portrays the residents of the quarter going about their business. The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views ofRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Dj Stone | A Winter’s Day On Lake Brewer

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Dj Stone Russellville, Arkansas, USA A Winter’s Day on Lake Brewer Oil Painting Artist Statement My friend, who had recently retired to a cabin in the woods, had invited me to visit for lunch and a short hike afterwards  so that I could take in the lake view adjacent to the property. When I arrived, she was immediately apologetic for the turn in the weather. It was overcast, drizzly and cold. I, however, thought the stark palette was refreshing and immediately considered a large, analogous landscape that wiould envelope the viewer. To keep the interest in aRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Bowman Ashe | Alien Tree

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Bowman Ashe Plano, Texas, USA Alien Tree Fine Art Photography Artist Statement As a child, I recall lying upside-down for hours staring at the ceiling and wondering what it would be like to live in an upside-down world. The exotic features of this tree take new form as alien-like terrain, offering aspects of detail that might be normally overlooked. Foreign Images is a theme that really hits home for me as a photographer. I often find myself in strange and unfamiliar places. Rental cars. Cities. Open roads, uncharted expanses. It’s an exhilarating and nomadic sense of freedom,Read More →

Foreign Images Artist Bowman Ashe | Slot Canyon

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Bowman Ashe Plano, Texas Slot Canyon Fine Art Photography Artist Statement The shadows, textures and softly eroded curves drew me to explore this scene in black and white. From this perspective, the desert sun has sliced into the land from above, gently illuminating the walls and formations some forty feet below. The omission of color accentuates the drama of this beautiful space.  Photographed in northern Arizona.  Thank you to Linus Art Galleries for the opportunity to present this work. Bowman Ashe was born and raised in Miami, Florida, with permanent works in public and private installations throughoutRead More →

Foreign Images Artist Adrian Hatfield | Icelandic Landscape

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Adrian Hatfield Ferndale, Michigan Icelandic Landscape Oil Painting Artist Statement Icelandic Landscape was inspired by visiting Iceland and being enchanted by the dichotomy of the island’s quiet, melancholy beauty and its tumultuous, volcanic geology. I hoped for this piece to express a meditative calm with a vague feeling of menace just below the surface.

Foreign Images Artist Iwona Duszek | From Within

Foreign Images Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Iwona Duszek Springfield, Missouri From Within Fine Art Photography Artist Statement The reflection in the street window brings the long gone city view back to life. The wall advertisement of a local business captures and confirms the character of the world that does not exist anymore.   Like the eternal, it makes a stamp on the past.  A distant world, that may not be too inviting to a person walking by, yet it is mysteriously tempting to be explored just for a moment, to bring memories back to life. This photograph has been taken in Warsaw, Poland in theRead More →
