Stefan Venbroek

My work is an interpretation of images from print media or from my
own photoarchive  that I am instinctively drawn to.  I also
make use of collage to create my own unique compositions.  At once
complex and intuitive, my mixed media paintings combine form, colour
and texture to create a strong sense of vigour and dynamism, the contrasting
figurative and abstract pictorial elements stimulating the viewer to
see familiar subjects in fresh and challenging ways.

Baerbel Ricklefs-Bahr

Baerbel Ricklefs-Bahr is a painter deliberately taking risks in her art. She does not plan in advance, but instead relies on spontaneity. The artist requires a certain amount of freedom, generosity, and limitlessness to reach the level of her expectations from the work. She aims to shape with colors, and bring contrasts into harmony. Without pressure, she follows her intuition. She works informally, not letting herself get boxed in by the rules of style. Her art develops out of the process of painting. A piece begun as an abstract painting may eventually form objects and lead to triggering emotions through the colors that are at the foundation of her painting, through the shapes one might discover, and through diverse textures. The viewers find their own access when they engage in the experience.

Elisabeth Gress

                          

Elisabeth Gress lives and works in Switzerland. Her paintings and sculptures are characterized by the use of special expressions to give it a multifaceted meaning. The combination of different materials creates the impression of three dimensions and this is especially pronounced in her pictures. By applying this particular means of expression which she has mastered with her sculptures and pictures, she is able to create the illusion of her pictures being mere objects. Elisabeth is a member of many national and international art forum. The artist exhibits regularly in Switzerlan and occasionally in other European countries.
