Dawn Black

"My drawings not only explore my own mania

regarding disguised and surrogate identity but

of society’s at large by depicting scenes of

carefully selected concealed figures drawn in

gouache and ink on paper." Dawn Black

Linda Herzog

"In dreamstates, Linda has detailed visions

in color of her creations. In oil she is able

to capture these scenes on canvas with a

unique style and representation of wildlife.

Although she has not had any formal training,

through the years she has been able to create

her own look that she calls "Wildlife Fantasy"."

Allen Jones

"Jones's preference was for glamour and style,

and his aesthetic centred on beautiful women

visualised erotically and stereotypically as in

glossy magazines, advertisements and cartoon

strips. Underpinned with a great mastery of colour

and a consummate painting technique, Jones's

work fluctuates between painting and sculpture."
