Michelle Rogers
Michelle Rogers grew up in a
small-industrialized town in Ireland called Dundalk on the strained border
between North and the South, at the height of the troubles. As an artist,
although it inspired her, she chose not to dwell initially on the conflict
so close to home. Her earliest paintings centered on the Gulf War, and it
was in response to this work that Amnesty International selected her to go
to Bosnia in 1993. This trip was the impetus for a Dark Heart an impressive
series of paintings about the darker side of human nature in which,
according to Nicholas Bergman, curator at New York's Caelum Gallery "she
sensitively creates a mood of moral decay, of spiritual darkness and
despair, there is, simultaneously, a grandeur to the work, which, harks
back to the masters - Goya in particular."

Nikki
Sass
In her own words "After moving to California I began
experimenting with patinaed steel. The work as a whole is a pursuit to
embody the ambiance and materials found in post-industrial areas along
with my early perspectives on these places. The color combinations derive
from my daily environment: peeling bathroom paint, paper on telephone
poles, foundling mattresses. I'm interested in the texture resulting from
the layering of paint, the physical process of chipping and scrubbing it
away, and the timeline that emerges.
Dilapidation, neglect, and
seclusion regularly surface as themes. The focus is based on the
unintentional allure they can cause, rather than the negative connotations
associated with them. These coexist with, what at times, is sweet and
girlish. The contrast is a metaphor between me and the surroundings I
lived in while young. Wearing a pink sequined skating costume while
driving past incinerators, dye shops, and titty bars; and, the grey snow
half melted on the lawns of half burnt homes near the doctor's office are
some of the memories that reverberate subtly throughout my work."

Geoff Tate (Queensryche)
Queensryche,
formed in 1981, is considered to be one of the most influential bands to
rise in the 1980s-- largely due to the fact that Queensryche broke from
the marketable direction that was expected from bands in that era.
Throughout the 1980s Queensryche delivered something more than just songs
about sex, fun, and hangover memories-- they delivered socially charged
songs that challenge the listeners perception of the world and
relationships around us. Today they continue to carve their own path
musically and conceptually.
For nearly three decades the band
has meshed aspects of visual art, video art, and performance art into
their performances on stage. Due to their thought provoking lyrics, sound,
and performances the band has been dubbed the "thinking man's heavy metal
band". Concept albums by Queensryche, such as Operation: Mindcrime, are
often mentioned alongside other notable concept albums, such as The Who's
Tommy and Pink Floyd's The Wall. To date over 20 million Queensryche
albums have been sold worldwide. We interviewed Geoff Tate from the
band... |

Anthony Liu
Through painting, Antony Liu
makes sense of broken things and searches for subtle beauty in the midst
of discord. Liu states that he believes in the coexistence of things, but
not in their equality. He explains that where conflict reigns, the
possibility of harmony is present. He attempts to find bridges in order to
situate what is displaced. Thus, his work reflects an interest in the
unchanging laws of color science and theory. Liu states that he finds a
sense of security in the fact that what we see can be identified and
categorized.

Sarah Maple
Sarah Maple has been called many
things due to her art-- some people have lashed out at her with vulgar
anonymous messages, others have praised her for her bravery and humor,
some have called her the heir to Tracey Emin's throne. One thing is for
certain-- she is not going to stop.
In my opinion, your art,
specifically your series of photographs, documents aspects of cultural
growth and expansion in that it captures the essence of youthful rebellion
that has dominated culture, politics, and even religion in the last decade
or so. In other words, if your art is shocking it is because society--
today-- is shocking. With that in mind-- your work grows with us and is
therefore valid. What are your thoughts on this? |

Allise Noble
Allise Noble states that
attention to detail is an important aspect of her artwork. Her primary
work involves drawing meshed with other mediums-- such as paint. Noble's
art has been described as whimsical and soft without structure-- a balance
between a visual display of reality and the makings of dreams.
In
a sense, Noble explore psychology-- specifically the psychology of
identity-- within her work. The thoughts of her subjects are hidden and
ambiguous. The viewer must look to the surroundings and other elements in
order to solve the puzzle of what is in the subject's mind. Noble strives
to create work that conveys more than one meaning. Thus, her body of work
is open to the interpretation of viewers. |

something sublime or intense.

the art world with reports, reviews and interviews from around the world.
