New Art from TORCH GALLERY in Amsterdam
New Art from Torch Gallery in Amsterdam www.torchgallery.com
MITSY GROENENDIJK
"The Gaze"
Artist's Information:
Mitsy Groenendijk - 1952
Lives and works in Amsterdam.
Sculptures 1995 / 2004
For several years, the "animal - bust", functions as the main subject in the work of Mitsy Groenendijk.
The portrait of the cultivated poodle, reflects a particular set of human characteristics and perceptions. They are a metaphor for our (read: mankind's) desire to control nature.
The elements used in these objects, are derived from different disciplines, traditions and periods and mirror among others, a specific view on religion, symbolism and eroticism.
Gradually the animal image, develops into a metaphor, for the intuitive process of being. Which is initiated by the monkey sculptures in the series: "People see - People do" 2003/ 2004.
In these installations, we are invited to reconsider our typical western way of thinking. In the West we are trained to dichotomize, (black/white, hot/cold, good/evil.)
In a world of chaos we use our rational mind in a vain attempt to create order. The result is more and more rules.
Instead we might consider centering at heart and permit our intuitive selves to observe what solutions might spontaneously present themselves.
This process can be non-judgmental and inclusive.In these installations the intuitive process prevails over rational calculated strategies. The monkey sculptures are the metaphor for this process.

New Art from Arcadia Fine Arts includes work by
ERIC HAMMER
"Saint No. 45"
VICTOR WANG
http://www.victorwang.net/index.html
"Sound of Silence"
Artist Information
My path through life has been adventurous, exciting, and dream-like. Coming from China and looking for a better opportunity has been a fully challenging and great experience. For me, what I imagined of America and what actually was truly created a great gap, thus forming a battle between physical settlement and mental anxiety. In my recent works, I have tried to ambivalently display this kind of emotional drama with the mixture of exhilarating, confusing, and exasperating tensions.
I grew up with sunflower fields surrounding my house in northern China. In my childhood years, I recalled playing under the bright, yellow sunflowers with my brothers everyday. Sunflowers, always following the sun's movements, were used during the Cultural Revolution as a political allegory to the way people should act towards Mao, who represented the sun. Gradually, the people of China realized that this symbol of the follower was really masking a deception. Therefore, to transcend my complex feelings, I use sunflowers as a metaphor to connote my background and emotional stage.
My desire is to visualize the human sensitivity of the lost and found emotions upon my life experiences. Although I often gain great pleasure from the process of painting, it is most important to unfold expressively those sentiments within myself.

New Art from ARTHUR ROGER GALLERY in New Orleans
Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans. http://www.arthurrogergallery.com
WILLIE BIRCH
"American Family"
MICHAEL WILLMON
"Blue Moon - Cemetery Escape"
Michael Willmon possesses an apocalyptic vision which he expresses employing a mesmerizing monochromatic palette. The artist's dark fascination with New Orleans' sublime revelry is apparent in his inspired work. In his recent paintings, Willmon extends his vision to include both New Orleans and New York City. A master of composition, color and brush handling, Michael Willmon creates meticulous but shocking vistas often filled with cavorting skeletal figures.
Other Artists in the collection from this Gallery include:
AL SOUZA
"CANDY JAR"
JACQUELINE BISHOP
"DEEPER INSTINCTS"
For the last twenty years Jacqueline Bishop has focused on painting psychological and political elements regarding the natural world. Basing her imagery on frequent trips to remote regions in North, South and Central America including the Amazon rain forest, Jacqueline Bishop creates beautiful paintings celebrating the beauty of nature but often also conveying a sense of impending doom. The fragile interconnection of nature is a central theme in her work. Jacqueline Bishop's paintings represent the beauty and mystery of hidden places in the world and within us.
LESLEY DILL
"WHITE HINGED WEDDING DRESS"
Lesley Dill's work is characterized by the complex interweaving of a wide range of materials, image and text. Her constructions are suffused with emotional content. Language is a defining element in her work providing context and reference. The psyche and its relation to poetry and to the self are also core elements in Lesley Dill's work. Her original syntheses of text and image combine language and the human body with a unique emotional directness.
BLAKE BOYD
"ANNA"
"ATHEROSCLEREROTIC PLAQUE"
Blake Boyd's art takes many forms, including paintings in clay, sculpture, photobooth photography, video, and site-specific installation. Collectively, all of these are components of a twenty-year conceptual artwork that Boyd views as two "visual" operas. Each opera will consist of a series of eleven separate exhibitions, totaling twenty-two exhibitions in all. The first opera, Fidelio, began in 2001, with an exhibition entitled "My Pinocchio Syndrome for Abigail." Inspired by and dedicated to the actress/singer Bijou Phillips, Fidelio is a visual diary of Boyd's travels, from his visits with celebrities from Andy Warhol's Factory in New York City, to his escapades in New York and London nightclubs. The second opera, Romantika, will commence in December 2003 at Arthur Roger Gallery, with the installation of Sneewittchen. Romantika is inspired by and dedicated to a hometown love interest, Katherine Brennan, whom Boyd credits with mending his broken heart. In the tradition of Andy Warhol, who in 1965 announced that he would abandon visual art for film, Boyd intends to follow a similar path after completion of Fidelio and Romantika.
DOUGLAS BOURGEOIS
"ANIMA SOLA"
Douglas Bourgeois' meticulously rendered paintings reveal an incredible craftsmanship wedded with a mysterious ability to express a singular vision through obsessive attention to scrupulous description. He underscores unlikely details of mundane objects until they are charged with strangeness. Everything is contemplated so intensely in Bourgeois' work that it becomes magical. Douglas Bourgeois combines his technical rigor with a far ranging grasp of the iconography of popular culture.
