Winslow Homer 1836-1910, American painter, was one of the most authentic and important American artists of the nineteenth century. He is remembered for his landscapes, many featuring scenes of the sea, boats, and coastlines. His mastery of sketching and watercolor lends to his oil paintings the invigorating spontaneity of direct observation from nature. His subjects, often deceptively simple on the surface, dealt in their most serious moments with the theme of human struggle within an indifferent universe.

Sono uno scultore Italiano autodidatta, nato a Serramazzoni, Italia nel 1946 dove attualmente vivo ed ho il mio laboratorio. Fin da giovane ho coltivato la passione per la scultura, avevo diciotto anni quando ho cominciato poi per motivi di tempo e lavoro ho sospeso la scultura e mi sono dedicato saltuariamente alla pittura sempre da autodidatta, e solo nel 2000 ho potuto dedicarmi a tempo pieno alla scultura scoprendo la mia forte passione per il legno.

Ernesto Arrisueño, Peruvian painter, was born in Lima in 1957, a time when migration to Australia was almost exclusively from Britain and Europe. In the past decade however, Australian life has been enriched by migration from many South American countries. Arrisueño studied art in Lima before completing a Bachelor of Architecture degree at Ricardo Palma University. Throughout the 1980's he exhibited widely in Peru in both individual and group exhibitions. Architectural drawing, for which he had won a number of prizes as a student, developed as a major theme in his work where figures and objects are juxtaposed with beautifully rendered building fragments. He came to Australia in 1989 and soon found success in local exhibitions. The crisp reality of Arrisueño's works creates an air of mystical calm, a world of still waters, a myriad of flowers and isolated enigmatic figures. His current work blends memories of his early years in the dry barren landscape of Peru with the new visions and traditions of his life in Australia.

Guim Tió Zarraluki is a young Spanish painter who creates stunning abstractedportraits illustrations starting from photographs he likes to cover and transform with paint. The original picture is almost completely buried by a new geological level. Only a nose, mouth or ear is left untouched, as a trace of the subject’s past life. The bold act brings a re-birth. The new faces stare at you with pin pointed, barely drawn eyes, while open lips with painted little teeth enhance a carnivorous smile. The effect of Guim Tiò’s work is spectacular, vibrant, humorous and tragic at the same time.

Instead he relies on a much more time honored tradition, his hard learned skills and talents.

Alain Choisnet, British sculptor: "I was born in Britain at the foot of the magnificent castle of Ferns, but c is in a Paris suburb that I grew up. The benches of the school selected me to the call of working life that took me on a power more attractive than the calculation of the hypotenuse! Nevertheless philosophical studies, parallel university course, gave me a solid understanding of the human being. This knowledge helped me tremendously to assert myself as an artist. It is enough to seize a gesture, an emotion, then to set them while preserving the sincerity of moment and the fluidity of the movement". We are seduced as much by the quality and the delicacy of its sculptures as by the serenity which they pass on. Its representation of the feminine nude is delicate and expressive while remaining contemporary.
