Vincent Pepi ( 1926 – 2020) was an abstract expressionist painter associated with the New York School. His contribution to American art includes some of the foremost examples of action painting, produced consistently over the course of the second half of the 20th century. His art parallels the works of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Conrad Marca-Relli and others. He adapted the automatic techniques of the Surrealists and transformed it into his own kind of gesture painting
Painting is like silent poem, said Simonides, poet from ancient Greece.Paintings are icons, doors to the Platonian world above the heavens. Paintings on my blog are just those icons, which lead a viewer into the magic world of harmony and beauty. Artists who present their achievements on my blog have a very different cultural and national background, they represent variety of artistic traditions and schools

" Kathleen Steventon lives in southwest Colorado, in the foothills of the San Juan Mountains. She connects spiritually to the wilderness around her, most especially with fauna, and her paintings reflects this deep appreciation of their lives. Her heart reaches out to Animal Spirits every time she works in the studio. Kathleen’s deep affinity to all life allows her to capture their beautiful energies on canvas.
The artist grew up in suburban New Jersey, was educated at Rutgers University, and traveled and lived overseas for 8 years. In 2003 she came home to live and paint in Pagosa Springs, CO. Her recent journeys through meditation have expanded her consciousness and connections to the Earth. She works with her love of her subjects, and her recognition of their spiritual souls and uniqueness. Kathleen’s vibrant impasto oil paintings are lit up with color, movement, and texture, and crafted solely with a palette knife."

" I work in the style of pointillism as did Georges Seurat, Camille Pissarro and Paul Signac. My paintings are also noted for their detailed “realism” which requires patience when painting in this style and is unique. I particularly enjoy capturing a scene in such a way as to draw the viewer into the scene.
I was born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1943. I hold an MFA and B.S. from the University of Minnesota. I have been privileged to be recognized for my talent in various ways including: being listed in International Biographical Centre Cambridge, England as one of the 2000 outstanding artists and designers of the 20th Century; listed in Who’s Who in American Art as well as appearing in several publications. In 1999, I was awarded a grant from Region Two Arts Council, Bemidji, Minnesota to paint and draw an updated version of the Impressionist Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) urban landscape series in Paris, France. In 2011, I once again, was awarded an arts grant (Region Two Arts Council, Bemidji, MN) to complete the circle of my version of Camille Pissarro’s missing Pantheon series from the Boulevard Morland. A third grant I was awarded from Region Two Arts Council in 2013. I was awarded an arts grant (Region Two Arts Council, Bemidji, MN) to paint the 13 bridges of Paris, France I felt was the most unique in appearance. My work is in museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe and Japan."Wayne Shilson (wayneshilson.com)
