Greetings,
Art work is an expression of the creator's character, and in the best work, displays not only the intelligence and creativity of the artist, but will go beyond, to show both passion and compassion, in a manner, that will engage the viewer, not only visually but mentally as well.
Two such artists are Charlene April
CharleneApril and Jillian Allen-Anderson
JillianelfBoth create art work that I find to be, not only interesting, but also inspiring.
Charlene April does so, often in a manner, that to some, on first glance, may be seen as dark, but that I find touches that core within, that understands - that life - is often coming to grips with idenity and overcoming downfalls, and in doing so - allows one to rise above and beyond.
Jillian Allen-Anderson excells at that most difficult genre of painting. The Abstract. Where it's color, shape, line and balance - that is used to express a concept, a place, a person - in a manner that, not only is readily evident to a viewer - but touches them at the emotional level - and there, expands to become there own personal tale.
And she is now, also exploring photography
Mc-Gill using that same skill of seeing the balance of elements, to engage the viewer.
I am honored that both of them have allowed me to create a video slide show of there work, that I've posted on youtube. And I would appreciate if you would take a look, both at the videos, and at there galleries here at Deviantart.
