MARIO GABRIELE MARIOLI ARTIST

GALLERY FINE ART - PAINTING

BIOGRAPHY - ARTIST.

Mario Gabriele Marioli was born in 1958 in Pavia (Italy).
He lives and works in his studio, dealing with virtual architecture as artistic advisor for a leading company in the sector of the recovery and recycling of urban and industrial waste from Italy to Europe.
For his company he has done environmental blending work, the scenic insertion of industrial and business complexes, as well as graphic communication, since 1992.
“Natural environments have thrilled me all my life, and through photography I try to capture their most emotional aspects, trying to bring them out through unconventional approaches to the shoot.”
Communicating these emotions has become, through the course of his career, ever more important, and the photograph was the first mediatic means that allowed him to do so, through books, magazines and didactic audio-visual materials for associations and schools and his area.
His first encounter with the seductive virtual world of the computer, with its B dimension, and 3 dimensional possibilities, enriched his mastery of graphic expression in civil and industrial architecture.

MARK CHADWICK ARTIST

GALLERY FINE ART - PAINTING

BIOGRAPHY - MARK CHADWICK ARTIST.

My name is Mark Chadwick and I have been studying fine art at Birmingham City University and Sutton Coldfield College since 2001 exploring a wide range of methods in painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and print. My main area of interest is in painting and my recent works have involved the process of making marks with tools and mechanical objects such as toy cars. I have completed my MA course in Fine Art where I exhibited in the Fine Art Show – Clutching at Straws. Previous to that I obtained a BA in Fine Art (First Class with Honours), a HND in Fine Art, Foundation Art and A-Levels.


My art practice is concerned by the use of machines in the production of an artwork. With our culture becoming more and more engaged with new technologies, my work questions the implications of handing over control of an artwork to a mechanical device. With the actions of any machine the result of human intention, I use machines to allow chance to enter the creative process, exploring ideas surrounding authorship, consciousness and interaction. I allow my tools to create their marks and record its action in a physical way on to the canvas. Currently my work is concerned with painting process as the performance aspect of the production of an artwork, exploring the relationship forged between materials, aesthetics and perception across cultures. I use machines/technology to allow paintings to make themselves in order to further remove the hand of the artist. Once set in motion I often remove myself from the studio and painting process.

BIOGRAPHY - ANNA VINOGRADOVA ARTIST.

Anna Vinogradova
Honors Graduate, St. Petersburg Academy of Art

Born in 1975 in Krasnodar, Russia, Anna Vinogradova began painting as a small child, entered first the Yaroslav Art College and then the renowned St. Petersburg Academy of Art, one of the finest, most competitive art schools in the world.

She very quickly earned a living from her art selling her student sketches, drawings and paintings even in her first year at the Academy. Every few months her schoolwork was routinely purchased by eager dealers and fans. Soon, such a reputation attracted dealers from abroad some of whom even offered to buy works she hadn’t yet painted!


After she graduated summa cum laude with a special citation, her career really began to take off and today Anna Vinogradova is a star of the bustling art scene in St. Petersburg and poised for international recognition.
Anna's background and cultural heritage is very visible in her work. She received a superb classical education from her architect father and academic mother that included lessons in music, ballet and painting. Art became Anna’s profession, music is the love of her life, and ballet is the dominant theme of her beautiful paintings.

GUILLERMO MARTI CEBALLOS ARTIST

GALLERY FINE ART - PAINTING

BIOGRAPHY - GUILLERMO MARTI CEBALLOS ARTIST.

Guillermo Martí Ceballos nace en Barcelona en 1958. Hijo del pintor paisajista Oriol Martí (alumno predilecto del pintor valenciano Juan Bautista Porcar), recibe desde muy joven de su padre las primeras enseñanzas en el mundo del dibujo y la pintura. En 1983 entra en la Escuela Massana de Barcelona realizando estudios de diseño gráfico . Destaca en la asignatura de dibujo y composición, y alentado por su maestro el pintor Ramón Noé, se dedica intensamente a profundizar en esta materia. Realiza numerosas copias de los grandes maestros del pasado (Velázquez, Hogarth, Gainsborough, Vermeer, etc).
En 1986 entra en el estudio de Pintura de los Artistas Boter y Santaló. Consolida con ello su formación académica, y después de pasar por una etapa impresionista, entra en contacto con los los colores más puros y la libertad de expresión. Descubre a los más coloristas, primero Van Gogh y Gauguin, después a los fauvistas (Matisse, Derain) y a los expresionistas alemanes (Macke, Kirchner, etc). Su paleta se transforma y el color local desaparece volviéndose más puro.
En 1987 entra a formar parte del Cercle Artistic de Sant LLuc y realiza numerosos estudios del natural y del desnudo femenino. Desde entonces Martí Ceballos permanece fiel a esta disciplina que le reportará gran cantidad de material para sus posteriores obras en su estudio.


Realiza algunas exposiciones colectivas (1996 Palau Robert) y sin abandonar su faceta como ilustrador gana algunos premios como cartelista (Festa Major de Gràcia, Arenys de mar, etc). En 2000 realiza en su primera exposición en solitario en Barcelona (Galería Kreisler) obteniendo un notable éxito de ventas y de crítica. Desde entones no cesa de exponer su obra en diferentes Galerías. En 2001 obtiene el segundo premio de pintura en el Cercle artistic de Sant LLuc y en 2004 el primer premio de dibujo en este mismo centro. Su obra está repartida en todo el territorio español y en países como Estados Unidos, Francia, Irlanda y Austria.


Su atrevida gama cromática junto a su elaborada síntesis de las formas, en la que destacan los temas urbanos con figuras, hacen que su obra resulte altamente personal, llena de fuerza expresiva y de una sensibilidad exquisita.
De tendencia figurativa, su estilo continua evolucionando hacia una mayor simplificación de formas, dibujando sus motivos con planos de color definidos que componen su espacio de trabajo. Una figuración, sin embargo, deformada por su propia óptica, de sensaciones más que realidades, transportando de esta manera al espectador, a una dimensión en que la realidad y la ficción se fusionan haciéndonos partícipes de su propio universo.

BIOGRAPHY - KELVIN LEI ARTIST.

Kelvin Lei - Chinese

Kelvin Lei was born in 1954 in Canton, China. For several years, he studied traditional Chinese figure drawing with Zhiguang Yang, one of the most famous artists in China. In 1975, Kelvin was admitted to The Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art in Canton -- the school considered to have the very highest standards - to study oil painting.
After graduating in 1979, he immigrated to Hong Kong with his family and began his career as an artist. Because of the colonization of Britain, Hong Kong is a city filled with many western influences, and it was there -- inspired by the western atmosphere -- that Kelvin's paintings began to show a very classical European style.
In the past twenty years, Kelvin's paintings have not only been sold in Hong Kong, but also in Japan, Singapore, and many European countries such as England, Norway, France, Germany and Sweden.
In 1999, Kelvin moved to America and resides in Northern California.

SOBRE MI TRABAJO
Se me ha pedido que haga una reseña sobre mi propuesta artística para mi última exposición individual a realizarse en el Museo Mateo Manaure de Maturín, que llevará por título: “Recuerdos de Ávalon”, y como ya se ha vuelto casi una costumbre enterraré mi pincel de artista y desempolvaré mi pluma de aprendiz de crítico.
Dejando aparte la natural tendencia que tenemos los artistas visuales a considerar como prioritarios los aspectos plásticos de una obra, a mi en lo particular siempre me ha preocupado en la misma medida el concepto de la misma y atendiendo a esta inclinación personal he tratado de reflejar en mis trabajos mi propia visión de la realidad.
Me seduce por sobre todo el mundo mágico, El Macondo de García Márquez, la transrealidad. Pienso que la realidad que percibimos con nuestros sentidos es solo una ínfima parte de la que existe a nuestro alrededor. Nosotros somos materia consciente de si misma a un nivel elemental, solitarios y vulnerables, encerrados en nuestro propio universo personal, nos aferramos a las religiones al arte y a la ciencia, tal vez en un vano intento por burlar a la muerte, o tal vez como una manera de traducir los misterios que se abren a nuesta mente.
Es necesaria por consiguiente en mis pinturas y esculturas la figura humana, como la única manera de expresar a través de las deformaciones del canon y otros símbolos la temática explicada anteriormente.
