Priscilla Ameneyro is an experimental artist. In this particular piece, she experiments with acrylic medium and dilutes it to create an almost transparent effect for the ground. She then juxtapose the ground with definite elements creating a post-modern vernacular piece. The grouping of elements alludes to an interesting visual and focal point that hints a sublime connotation with playful overtones.

Chico Coelho is a local Bay Area artist and musician who paints in a tantric-like expression. This painting seemingly implies a meditative visual response as one focuses deeply at the piece. The effect of the painting resonates and shifts around resulting to a sensation of a quasi-calm and ineffable euphoric state. This body of work pulses with creative energy.

Chico’s paintings deal with an amalgamation of styles of pointillism and color field technique. He has been exploring with this experimentation and he calls it Dissolution of Fractals.

Douglas Yee is an abstract and figurative painter. In this particular painting, Douglas embarks in expressing the sublime through his minimalistic work. He uses minimalism to capture the simplicity of an expression, emotion or gesture, combined with the element of scale, it capitulates an individual to its vastness of emotional and sensational visual field.

Below are pictures from the Grimm’s Fairy Tale art show by Frost Newton. Take a look at some of the artworks shown in Frost Newton’s show at the San Leandro Public Library.

Mixed Media

Frost Newton is an East Bay artist, who paints with gouache and oil. In this particular piece, he uses mixed media to create a clean and dimensional presentation. Frost uses a spray gun for the grounds to capture and create this flawless effect, and his skillful handling of paints capture an ineffable awe that grabs the eye creating a surrealistic visual field. Frost Newton’s work is truly remarkable and masterful.

Diego Marcial Rio is a San Francisco Bay Area artists who paints in acrylics and works with woodblock. In this particular artwork, he illustrates many social-economic problems faced by contemporary society. The figures and landscapes depicts industrial and moral deterioration that are a reflection of society’s urban decay. Overall, this artwork explores a product of society’s actions.

Heroin, oil on canvas, 31″ x 31″, 2008

In Dickson Schneider‘s fashion series paintings, he uses models that are placed in the fine arts contexts such as in the art gallery or museum setting. In this painting entitled “Heroin”, a super-model drifts past an imaginary Keith Haring painting while showing off her beautiful handbag. The title connotes and references Keith Haring’s infamous drug addiction, while the painting creates a deliberate dissonance between the real/unreal and desire/humor.
