Bego co-founded and directs the Ezair Gallery. She is the Contempo-Energizing
part of the Ezair Gallery, drawing her inspiration from her life experiences
in our modern culture and technology. Her artistic vision of an artist
was formed while she was working as an architect in Toronto and New York. In 1990 she continued her career as the creator of the Energizing Art concept, where she uses all her knowledge of geometry, perspective, proportions, as well as dynamics of light and shade. Energizing Art is based on the fact that the basic component of our physical Universe is a Force or an Essence, which we call the Energy. |

| Tom Nuzum
is a mature artist whose vision was formed in the San Francisco Bay area
during the 1960's. After a period of time spent teaching in various parts
of the Midwest, he finally settled in Michigan near the city of Flint,
where the wildlife, marshes and lakes surrounding his home and studio
provided some of the images for his pictorial ideas. After 25 years of working in a nonfigurative manner, in 1988 Nuzum began to move in the figurative direction which characterizes his painting today. |

| Words describing art can be
informative, however the visual viewing of the art expresses in a moment
all the emotions,craftsmanship,and the quality that animates the artwork
giving it life. The excitement of creating art will show blazingly brightly through the paint if the work is successful. A single work may have a dominant idea pervading over other, more delicate or deeper sensations, taking precedence without overpowering the others. Imagination and formal paint handling qualities are intimately interlined. A good painting will have a theme or narrative, and it will also be touched with an essence of mystery or awesomeness. |

Thomas Spence,from the Blue Mountains of Australia. This series of work was Inspired from time spent with an aboriginal weaver named Yvonne Koolmatrie,from south Australia. Mr.Spence and her traveled together while she gave workshops in weaving.His role was to illustrate this period of time. While this produced a lot of figurative work, what emerged upon his return to the Blue mountains was this,more abstract series of work. |
| I want
people to see themselves by seeing the fish struggling. It is about power
and the cycle of life and death. Like us, they have to survive in an environment
where everyone can be an unlucky one. |

Murphy´s figurative paintings surrounded by bold, beautiful colors are a celebration of life. Through her spiritual journey, Murphy seeks to explore the struggle between human desires and spiritual evolution. The ethereal figures explore the struggle between human desires and spiritual evolution...the nurturing female figures are in the state of grace for the light of hope, the light of healing and the light of love. |

I
am a representational,
expressionistic painter, and paint primarily with knives using fluid
acrylic paint which I pour onto a horizontally placed canvas, and then
spread about the surface. In this way I can achieve interesting effects
as the paints mix on the canvas. No other representational painter has
a surface resembling mine. |

My approach stems from a desire for a fresh way of relating to the living environment and an awareness of it as a vigorous and autonomous entity in itself. In finding ways of signifying connection to landscape, I use the conventional position of "onlooker" with the artist/viewer "here" and the landscape "out there." As well as taking perspectives which allow greater psychological immersion in the landscape. |

Color is the essential element in my work. The always-square canvas is edged by patterns created with both abstract and representational images. These patterns define and confine the interior, flat surface of a single color..... |

I began a quest for ideas of change that are common
in our culture and for changes largely considered to be positive. This
“common currency” is important as it places the artist and
“others” on the same vantage point. |

| Naomi Osnos had a solo show at the Ezair Gallery in April, 2006. She has been a book designer and an art director at Random House. Acrylic/collage on canvas, as a technique, allows her to use a variety of graphic materials and typefaces to produce readily accessible images. The subjects of her paintings are urban | |

I like to accept accidents from the
natural World into my work. Some times a curve can be smoothly produced
by a single gestural stroke but sometimes I like to laboriously produce
a curve in increments so I can exercise more control over the resulting
shapes. |

Paint is the vehicle through which my thoughts, emotions and perceptions flow. The result is a highly personal, energetic expression of my own experience and philosophy. Although the work is born from a primarily emotional place, physical elements of the human body and other representational forms make their way into each painting. Quite often this happens through serendipity and chance. This is the magic of painting spontaneously and without fear or a preconceived notion of the outcome of a piece. |

Bogdan's commitment is to figurative art. The human factor, the human figure, the figure in motion and in space. The variations of human figures, putting them together and waiting for what will happen. Always in a horizonless landscape. Bogdan's goal has been to bring to figurative art an energy of shape and color that has nothing to do with traditional landscape and portraiture. His oil on wood paintings are about life in all its change and complexity. |
| I make 3-D paintings that I call constructions. I have for years made abstract paintings where using color, as well as other painting tools such as line and texture, I created depth and indicated planes... | |

Dina Gustin Baker is a painter dedicated to her own conceptual and abstract images of expression. Though tolerant of other directions in art, she continued her devotion to her own vision. For her, painting has always been a discovery of related feelings in terms of color, form, and movement. Her work is introverted but goes the emotional distance to joy.

Although abstract, I paint what I see... the beautiful countryside all around me... rolling hills, mountains, and distant views...ever changing sky... nearby hayfields, woods and streams, weeds and wildflowers... everything. The colors seen every day, always seem to "appear" in the paintings; a sudden bright red, pink or yellow... reminding one of a single flower all alone in a field of browns, tans and umbers... or the changing hues of sky, grass, trees, etc. My work is another kind of landscape painting, resulting, I believe, in painting which is more "real" than a literal reproduction. The "essence" of what has been seen and felt is there, making what is seemingly ambiguous, most tangible and unique... which is what I think all good art is about.

| In my paintings Landscapes-Beyond, I am working with my own version of nature, giving my living colours as much freedom as possible. Rather than copying natures artefacts, my goal is to create like nature, with spontaneous intuitive energy and flow. | |
| Internationally known American artist and scientist, professor of mathematics, medicine, and biotechnology at several American universities, Maurice Cohen combines art and science to produce reflective and unique paintings. The major contributing force in the paintings is the creation of a multidimensional space within the canvas: the result is the illusion of an intimate space, produced by the utilization of colors to establish different plains like a mosaic, using the scientific theory of chaos. | |
| We
are because of what we are in relation to the structure of all things.
Distinct separation of forms is an illusion. All structures are continual
processes incorporated within one another in mutual interdependence. Whether
light or matter, or every individual action possible or enacted, all are
interwoven into a boundless timeless whole. My intention is to paint visual allegories of form and structure to see ourselves from a new vantage point within this larger whole. And of course, my hope is that you the viewer enjoy these paintings simply in and of them. |

New York Artist McKinley-Haas has been a painter of natural phenomena throughout the past 30 years. Her painting is closely related to her initial visual arts work as a costume designer, from which she eventually departed, becoming more abstract in her concepts, and calling on her sense of color, form and light to express herself and her vision in her large-scale paintings. Her paintings unfold as she works and though inspired by her travels & referring to the photos she takes en route, she never knows just where the process will take her or how the final painting will manifest itself.
