◄ Digital world of Martin Dingli ►

► Martin Dingli was born on the 25/01/1960 in Mediterranean Malta. He is now living in Australia/New York.

His art creations are more concerned with content than technique. Memory collides with imagination as he works to explore cultural themes. He reflects the true colours that he sees, but also dreams an idealised world into his works. Martin’s art is eclectic – landscapes, abstract, figures, fantasy – but his Maltese heritage is a binding element. This is particularly evident in his Maltese Doors series which captures the vivid colours and vibrant culture of his home. His work pushes the boundaries of the latest digital art techniques. In particular, he has developed styles which capture the textures and impacts of oils, stained glass and water colours.

He leaves the interpretation of his pieces to the viewer, but challenges the perception by leaving hidden surprises in many pieces. Martin’s digital art enables a fresh way of seeing the world. His imagination is in my art.

Also, he is a Self taught graphic artist. Art for him is not about winning awards it’s all about expression.

The Artworks by Alexander Calder ►



► *Alexander Calder, internationally famous by his mid-30s, is renowned for developing a new idiom in modern art-the mobile.His works in this mode, from miniature to monumental, are called mobiles (suspended moving sculptures), standing mobiles (anchored moving sculptures) and stabiles (stationary constructions). Calder’s abstract works are characteristically direct, spare, buoyant, colorful and finely crafted. He made ingenious, frequently witty, use of natural and manmade materials, including wire, sheetmetal, wood and bronze.Calder was born in 1898 in Philadelphia, the son of Alexander Stirling Calder and grandson of Alexander Milne Calder, both well-known sculptors. After obtaining his mechanical engineering degree from the Stevens Institute of Technology, Calder worked at various jobs before enrolling at the Art Students League in New York City in 1923. During his student years, he did line drawings for the National Police Gazette. In 1925, Calder published his first book, Animal Sketches, illustrated in brush and ink. He produced oil paintings of city scenes, in a loose and easy style. Early in 1926, he began to carve primitivist figures in tropical woods, which remained an important medium in his work until 1930.In June 1936, Calder moved to Paris. He took some classes at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and made his first wire sculptures. Calder created a miniature circus in his studio; the animals, clowns and tumblers were made of wire and animated by hand. Many leading artists of the period attended, and helped with, the performances.Calder’s first New York City exhibition was in 1928, and other exhibitions in Paris and Berlin gained him international recognition as a significant artist. A visit to Piet Mondrian’s studio proved pivotal. Calder began to work in an abstract style, finishing his first nonobjective construction in 1931.In early 1932, he exhibited his first moving sculpture in an exhibition organized by Marcel Duchamp, who coined the word “mobile.” In May 1932, Calder’s fame was consolidated by the first United States show of his mobiles. Some were motor-driven, His later wind-driven mobiles enabled the sculptural parts to move independently, as Calder said, “by nature and chance.” Calder returned to the United States to live and work in Roxbury, Massachusetts in June 1932.From the 1940s on, Calder’s works, many of them large-scale outdoor sculptures, have been placed in virtually every major city of the Western world. In the 1950s, he created two new series of mobiles: “Towers,” which included wall-mounted wire constructions, and “Gongs,” mobiles with sound.Calder was prolific and worked throughout his career in many art forms. He produced drawings, oil paintings, watercolors, etchings, gouache and serigraphy. He also designed jewelry, tapestry, theatre settings and architectural interiors. Calder died in 1976.

◄ The Artworld of Kris Lewis ►



► Kris Lewis began dreaming and flailing atop this lovely carnival ride in 1978, in the great surround of the Jersey shore. Growing up in a family that included 6 brothers and 1 sister provided ample fodder for his creative appetite, weaving an existence replete with love, conflict, beauty, tradition and classic Jersey brawls. Kris’ father provided the artistic gene and a glint of inspiration, but it was his mother who taught him the importance of hard work and dedication as he watched her raise an entire family alone after his parents.

As an immigrant who had to flee from communist forces in her home country of Latvia, Kris’ mother also instilled in him a love for his Latvian heritage and its traditions, which are a major influence in Kris’ artwork. Other influences in Kris’ art include Alfonse Bougereau, Andrew Wyeth, Hans Holbein, Albrecht Durer, Hieronymus Bosch, Gustav Klimt, Antonio Mancini, and Jules-Bastien LePage.

His reverence for masters of old is apparent in his depiction of the human figure, which he uses as a vector for hidden stories, delicate emotion, and universal truth. His affinity for people-watching also informs his paintings, collecting glances, gestures, miens and hints and channeling them through the canvas for the viewer to share in the experience.

◄ The Artwork of Marko Jezernik ►



► Artist Statement : ” In the family my first idol was my mother’s brother, uncle August Deržek, who was an excellent graphic and water colorist. The Provincial Museum of Celje has some of his graphics and the Museum of Recent History, also in Celje, has part of his artistic legacy in watercolors.

I have expanded my knowledge of craft skills by socializing with the right people, who are not afraid to share their knowledge with others.
I have been really lucky and always “come across” people who were willing to open the door to their knowledge, to monitor my work and to give me the opportunity to learn from them. Among them was the Macedonian painter Goce Kalajdžiski, who acquainted me with painting and graphic techniques, then the glass master Cyril Zobec from Rogaška Slatina, who introduced me to the mysterious world of fused glass, and here is my mentor for guitar playing, upholsterer Fahir Tutnjić – Faki, with whom I’m designing and producing fine art chairs. ”
