Four Hand Composition by Ilene Skeen

BAREBRUSH BARES ALL


More than ever before, art representing the nude is showing up in galleries and museum exhibitions, but there is still a ways to go before garnering a broad cultural acceptance of the nude as a legitimate subject for public consumption. No-one knows this better than Ilene Skeen, founder of Barebrush.com, a website dedicated to showcase those artists whose practice focuses on the nude figure. Although founded in 2006, Ilene’s interest in drawing from the model dates back several decades; hers is a story come full circle. After completing a disappointing stint at art school in the 60’s, New Yorker Ilene Skeen’s path led her into a world of business and computers far removed from the art scene. Nonetheless, over the years Skeen continued drawing from the model, producing thousands of watercolor sketches of the nude and successfully selling them online in the days before eBay or etsy.  Read more







Two-faced Odalisque. Acrylic on panel. 36” x 48”
K.A.Letts
I began my creative life in the theater. I am a graduate (MFA) from Yale Drama School, where I studied set and costume design. I have created sets and costumes for Juilliard School, Yale Repertory Theater, Alaska Repertory Theater and Wayside Theater in Virginia, among others. Although I no longer work in the theater, many of the skills and techniques I learned there have been useful to me in the studio. My work features strong narrative content, much of which is based on myth, fable and fairy tale. Read more.

Juggle. Oil Pastel and Pencil. 16” x 20”

My formal art education began in high school with Early College Courses at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Over the past ten years of work I have been finding the balance between artist and motherhood. Read more...

Brabrants thru the Netherlands. Watercolor and ink on silk. 33" x 21"
Debbi Chan
On the cusp of two creative signs, the tiger and the rabbit, I was born in Houston, Texas. With a creative push from day one, I took up the brush by age ten. In my early years as a budding artist I decided that oil painting was not my thing but watercolor and ink were.  That really never changed but the style vacillated from realism to fantasy throughout those formative years.  It was not until a bit of aging wisdom came to me that I sought out a teacher and found Frank Chiu, a master artist in traditional Chinese painting.  He mentored me for over a decade and was later joined by his wife, Judy. Read more...

Backless. Oil on canvas. 10” x 10”.
Sara Swan
My current work is an examination and celebration of the human figure, body language, fashion and costume. I base much of my art on simple figure drawings from a weekly class. I have worked as large as life-size and as small as a ten inch square canvas. I draw both men and women, but my art tends to be female-centric. Though I use people as my subjects, I'm not a portrait artist, and in general I am not representing any specific person in my art. Read more

Untitled. Oil on canvas, 36 x 48
Marina Izrailevich
The roots of my life and work are steeped in Russian art and culture. My earlier works had a whiff of Russian Constructivism (purely unconsciously; I was thrilled when it was pointed out to me). I am still searching for a way to express the breadth of feelings and emotions and the struggle for meaning and life’s anchor. My major influences are Mark Rothko, Wassily Kandinsky and Marc Chagall. My heart leaps when I see their work and I think ‘how do I do THAT’... read more.

Office Building V. Digital art.
Arthur Jacob 
Throughout my life I have always had a greater visual sense about how the world looked versus other senses. This visual dominance in perceiving the world has profoundly affected my work as an artist. My art offers an infinite variety of visual perceptions and interpretations for the viewer. The viewer is told what the “real Life” image is in the title of the piece, but through abstraction and reconstruction of that image, the viewer is then asked and challenged to explore the shapes, colors, movements and forms, which the abstraction and reconstruction presents. Colors and shapes become emotion, while form and movement become attitude. Even when a work is easily recognized there is still a predominate thread of color, movement, shape and form. The techniques to achieve these photographic abstractions and reconstructions are a thoughtful and purposeful digital manipulation. Using a mouse rather than a brush to achieve a powerful medium of expression and communication, creates this style of fine art... read more.
