Silvio Vigliaturo

He is a glassfusion maestro and his technique is appreciated internationally and considered unique in his genre by the most important Italian and foreign critics. Artistic traits Vigliaturo’s artistic journey is one of constant evolution. The never-ending research on colours and forms is symptomatic of a perpetual struggle in favour of the purity of colours and matter’s expressive richness. A journey both gradual and tenacious, that led the artist to confront himself with a great variety of themes with different styles and instruments. Glass, steel, terra cotta and painting"Vigliaturo’s creations have an instinctive impact and seem to release a strong positive energy, bursting with Mediterranean colour and spirit. In a time where the direct relationship between an artist and his material has almost disappeared, refresh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carol Lee Mei Kuen
Carol Lee, or Lee Mei-kuen (born 1963) is a Hong Kong-based contemporary artist. Her work speculates on the concepts of time, memories and human relationships, utilizing shape, juxtaposition, color, rhythm and intensity. She is one of the founding members of MIA (Mere Independent Artists). She uses a time-based painting technique. Lee received an MFA degree from RMIT University. Work Lee's work has been described as "visually minimal and static." Works on paper Lee's artwork usually consists of her tracing shadows of objects with a pencil on newsprint paper, cutting out a stencil and then exposing the paper (under the stencil) to sunlight. This causes the color of the paper to change and deepen in areas exposed to light. The difference between photography and her works are that her methods do not include chemical substances that preserve color, therefore according to Lee, her work illustrates a philosophy of time painting. Glass art Lee also produces sculptures in plate glass. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
