An American artist living in France since 1974, his work is exhibited in the USA, England, Switzerland and France. Galleries and numerous exhibitions include: Centre Georges Pompidou, FIAC, Figuration Critique . His intensely realist paintings explore the contrasts of nature and civilisation.
Director of the Atelier Neo Medici in Monflanquin and Villeneuve sur Lot in the South of France.
He has been teaching painting and drawing since 1996.
The paintings and drawings in this body of work are representations of "emotional moments;" explorations of the human condition. Both spiritual and introspective in purpose, I am interested in conveying the dynamics of relationships and the aloneness one must confront and accept in this world. It is with the embracing of that idea that brings us to the understanding of our oneness, our singular humanity and allows us to feel at peace to explore and express our loves, fears, wants, needs and hope.

These paintings possess a focus that reflects a rigorous training. What one perceives as polish is essentially obsessive preoccupation with allowing the image its own life.

Recent works explore natural architecture, perfection in designs for life

I make collagraphs and etchings with occasional forays into monoprint and mixed media. Most of my work is concerned with landscape and the built environment. Most of my pieces are derived from direct observation "plein air" but all are transformed to reflect what I may feel to be truer realities. The collagraphs particularly are often entirely imagined constructions employing a cubist aesthetic Thus I consider myself a realist rather than a naturalist artist.
I enjoy offering printmaking courses in etching, collagraph and monoprint. I have a portable 18" etching press which can be taken to venues lacking such technology

Born in 1983 in West Yorkshire, local artist Chloé Small now lives in Manchester.

Chloé's work is influenced by the American artist Edward Hopper, whose style of scene painting, rooted in the presentation of the familiar and concrete ("Nighthawks" 1942), are echoed in Chloé's own work.

Another influence is David Alfaro Siqueiros whose perspective on his mural work is where Chloé has developed her taste for the angles shown in her work.

After four years art training Mari worked as illustrator before painting and travelling widely. Singapore, Thailand, India, Mexico and many European countries. Italy including Venice and Tuscany have also inspired this artist.India also gave her the opportinity to develop an energetic style of brushwork that has transformed her canvases. Mari works from home in London but manages to spend most winters on warmer climes. Mexico, where she spent two winters recently inspired some colourful images. She has worked as artist-in-residence in Bangkok ( four times) in an international school and at a school in North London.
Having organised her own exhibitions in the past she is now looking towards finding galleries to support her and finding organisations and companies to commission artwork.
The huge pleasure of brushing paint onto canvas, or covering paper with washes of watercolour, are what motivates this artist, and it is apparent to the viewer that she enjoys what she does immensely and her paintings speak for themselves.

I have been a professional artist for four years with a special interest in watercolour and oil painting. While enthusiastic about all natural and energetic subjects, my particular passion is painting amateur and professional sports athletes.

My work to date captures subjects participating in urban sports, snowboarding, skiing, parkour, skateboarding and surfing. My inspiration comes from the skill, precision, motion and energy of the athletes, which I then work to capture on the canvas.

Now living in London I am concentrating on a series of paintings and exhibitions to illustrate the changing capital city and performance of the British Olympic athletes in the run up to London 2012 Olympic Games.
