Networking: The Triptych “networking” is intended to represent the many artists that crosslink repeatedly worldwide. In today‘s global world is linking some of the most important, especially among artists. And the exhibition of Georgi Kolev (gallery LESSEDRA) is artistic networking

SPECIAL PRESENTATION SPECIAL in its purest form. This inspired me to represent it with my technique.

One more thing to my art - xaoxart.

Xaox was an anarchic remnant of the eighties from my city. It was at that time at each house wall to find.

Xaox bzw.xaoc is derived from chaos. And I see the big chaos on the blank white canvas and this chaos I arrange with my painting.

With my best Regards

Utopia, 2015, Acrylic, Ink, Watercolor, 15x15 cm

As an artist in my fourth year at Brock University, I have encountered many trials and errors during the 18 creation of my art. While beginning this project, the idea of trash was embedded in my mind. What is trash? Many people have different interpretations of what garbage and waste is, but to me, trash is something that can be made beautiful in its own way. Think about how much of the world one single piece ASHLEY KELLER, Canada of paper can see after it has been left by its owner to float along in the wind. What is art? Can art and trash be put in the same category? To me, art is meant to speak to us through ways that the human voice cannot. It is meant to grab our attention from the busy

SPECIAL PRESENTATION SPECIAL world and focus solely on one creation in front of us. I am currently focused on trash. Where did it come from? What it the story behind that empty wine bottle in the parking lot? Whose life has that single bottle changed or impacted in a positive or negative way. In my art I hope to capture answers to all these ques- tions in a series that demonstrates the wonder I have for such an unsightly yet interesting and picturesque idea that surrounds us.

I am in the Concurrent Education program, with a major in visual arts and a second teachable in mathematics. I aspire to become an educator of art, but essentially anything that incor- porates art seems to be ideal. Ever since I was an infant, I was drawn to using my hands. For as long as I can remember I have taken up sewing, playing the piano, sculpting, drawing, painting, and anything that incorporated a sense of creativity. I promote the notion of creativity and design, as I hope to exemplify a skill and interest in the arts and reflect City Dynamism, 2015, Cotton Fabric, Graphite, Yellow Ochre Acrylic, 12,5x12,5 cm upon my life and the world around me through my artwork and creative processes.

Seit Anbeginn seiner Karriere beschäf- tigen ihn diese Pole, und beides, sowohl Gegenständliches wie auch Abstraktes, besteht gleichzeitig ne- Paradise II, 23x29 cm beneinander. Bereits seine frühes- ten 29 Aquarelle zeugen von einer tech- nischen Virtuosität. Dies zeigt sich in seiner Behandlung von Raum und Figur sowie deren Abstrakti- on, der Darstellung von Licht und Farbe oder der Wahl verschiedener Papierformate und Themen. Das Aquarellieren ist für Heinz-Peter Kohler eine Technik, mit dem er spontan auf sich verändernde in- nere und äussere Wahrnehmungen reagieren kann. Es ersetzt für ihn das Führen eines Tagebuchs. Er arbeitet aus dem Augenblick heraus, den es zu bannen gilt. Ge- konnt setzt er dazu auch den Zufall ein: Eine Farbe, die über das Papier My Garden, fliesst, kann der Künstler mit dem 24x27,5 cm Pinsel auffangen und zu neuen For- men weiterentwickeln. Anlässlich des 80. Geburtstages von Heinz- Peter Kohler widmet das NMB dem Bieler Künstler eine Einzelaus- stellung mit seinen Aquarellen von 1960 bis heute.
