The paint­ings of Har­rie Sijbers show happy scenes of crea­tures gath­er­ing out­side in cel­e­bra­tion. This joy­ous feel­ing is spread through the artist’s use of ener­getic col­ors and ani­mated char­ac­ters. Bright, vivid oranges, reds, blues, and pur­ples give these pieces a live­li­ness. The artist’s char­ac­ter­is­tic angu­lar descrip­tion of these fig­ures and their sur­round­ings also gives...

In strik­ing resem­blance to the paint­ings of Sal­vador Dali, Rhyner’s work is a col­lec­tion of waver­ing, hazy, amor­phous skies and land­scapes that serve as a slightly con­fused and dis­torted foun­da­tion for the paint­ings sur­real con­tor­tions that are the painter’s sub­jects and fig­ures.

Billich’s paint­ings read as smoothly as pho­tos. They are com­posed mostly of archi­tec­tural ele­ments with arbi­trary touches of human fig­ures and stat­ues. The major­ity of sub­ject mat­ter is depicted in a flat­tened, slick man­ner, with a con­sis­tently ultra smooth gra­da­tion. Despite these flat­tened sur­faces, the scenes com­posed in these paint­ings are arranged in so...

In his piece, Symbol of Inner Strength, the gracefulness of the steady easing of the bright orange into the black background tames the difference between the two opposites. The two colors at their most saturated...

Exu­ber­antly col­ored in bright blues, oranges, pinks, light pur­ples, Colina’s work gives the imme­di­ate feel­ing of a children’s book. Through the setting’s abstract forms she com­poses a fantasy-like play­ground for the char­ac­ters in her nar­ra­tives. Her fig­ures range in form, from a shape anal­o­gous to human, to crea­tures that look more sim­i­lar to insects,...
