anonymous — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:52:19 +0000

Nicole Heinzel is a 38 years old Female artist born in Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, currently working in Germany.

Nicole Heinzel was born in 1969 in Bengasi, Libya to German parents. Heinzel has lived in Trinidad & Tobago and Scotland where she went to Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art in Scotland. After seven years in London, she moved to Berlin in 2003 where she currently lives and works as an artist. Heinzel's work takes a critical look at the line and questions the various ways of accessing reality.The multi-layered nature of the line and its way of expressing reality are examined through drawing, painting, photography and digital media. Heinzel's approach resembles processes which occur in the brain. Perceptions are filtered, manipulated, de and re-constructed. The reduced range of colour and the minimalist language of form in her current works focus attention onto the essential.

*"Liana's paintings show a great sense of movement, highlighted by vibrant colors, motion and fluid brush strokes. Evocative and powerful, her passion dances on the canvas." Artbistro, CA, USA* Adelaide Hills News Thursday, August 07, 2008 *Art world kicks up its heels* After 25 years of flamenco dancing in bars, clubs and theaters in Mexico, Europe and Australia, Liana Vargas of Aldgate now shares her "wild" experience on canvas. Her latest art exhibition in the SA Living Artists (SALA) Festival focused on the first 10 years of her career spent traveling abroad, depicting exotic images of Spanish dancers and scenery. The three-week festival, which started on August 1, is designed to give artists the opportunity to showcase their work. Now a teacher and performer in her own flamenco company, Ms Vargas began painting about 18 months ago, and referred to her paintings as an extension of her dancing. "I'm dancing on canvas now so that's fun," she said. "They're bold, big and swirly, with hints of Spain all through them, and are somewhat evocative." Describing it as a "wild" period in her life, Ms Vargas said that she believed her flamenco experience was also a period of "lucky coincidences." She said that many of her paintings also reflected on flamenco mythology and old beliefs about women and nature. By Kiri Olney The Courier [Permanent link] [News home] [Courier home].

Since beginning their art practice a year and a half ago they have had a residency & solo exhibition, _They talk of 'disphorrea'_, at the Olive Pink Botanic Garden in Alice Springs (as part of Shifting Ground); produced _Open Office for an Editorial Committee_, a nomadic publishing house in a park for the 2007 National Young Writers’ Festival / This Is Not Art; installed _En Plein Air_, a temporary print studio and botanical field office in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne as part of the 2008 Next Wave Festival; and created _The Hanging Gardens & Other Tales_, an installation of borrowed pot plants at Carriageworks Arts Centre for Underbelly 08 Public Arts Lab + Festival. As designers, they have produced websites, books and exhibitions for arts organisations such as Big hArt and Gang Inc., and for the past four years have taught design theory and sustainability at the University of Technology Sydney.

Jane Crappsley is a 31 years old Female artist born in Australia, currently working in Melbourne art precinct, Victoria, Australia.

Sometimes we need a reminder to give ourselves space from the daily noise of life and just stop thinking! My work is about finding a quiet space, a place free from the daily noise of life around us. I do this in my work by paring everything down and stripping away the clutter so that only the essential elements remain. I'm seeking a refined simplicity – an accessible interface – where the complexities and inner workings are evident, yet quiet and subtle in the background. Creating art for public places is an important direction in both my drawn and installation work as I'm interested in the many ways we experience and perceive the spaces around us. Our mind is one space that is entirely our own, and to which we each individually set the access permissions.

Kain White

anonymous — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:52:46 +0000

Kain White is a 27 years old Male artist born in Australia, currently working in Bendigo art precinct, BENDIGO, Victoria, Australia.

Recent highlights; Kain has displayed work in Bendigo art gallery, Daylesford Pantechnicon Gallery, Castlemaine Art gallery and Melbourne Fitzroy gallery. He was awarded Bendigo’s RAW Arts prize in 2005 which is a prize given to promising artists below the age of twenty six. Recently Kain was involved in a group exhibition in Bendigo titled ‘Light’. This show focussed on three artists’ interpretations of Light as a concept. He has had multiple entries accepted to the Bendigo works on paper prize and also had an entry in the 2007 James Farrell self-portrait prize. Kain has permanent representation at the Pantechnicon in Daylesford. Kain’s work has permanent residence in the Bendigo council foyer and was recently involved in a group exhibition at Global Gallery in Sydney. While Kain began as a purely representational figurative artist, he has since spanned off into the study of metaphysical principles in his work. Kain acquired his training in drawing from university, but he is largely a self-taught painter. Adopting the techniques of the old masters to his own ends, Kain uses many subtle layers of glazes.
