Ignat Ignatov FEATURED ARTIST 2020 Charleston Cityscape s Oil s 22" x 28" s $3,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov A self-described representational painter, the works of artist Ignat Ignatov float fluidly between Impressionism and realism. “Some are loose and sketchy, so they fall more into the Impressionism category,” says Ignatov. “Sometimes I get the painting much tighter. I tend to go with the flow; I go in the direction the subject points me in terms of interpre - tation.” Ignatov was born in 1978 in Veliko, Tarnovo, Bulgaria, and grew up in Sevlievo, Bulgaria. At age 13, his prom - ising talent in drawing, painting and sculpting earned him one of only 30 available spots to attend the renowned Secondary Art School of Applied Arts in Tryavna, Bulgaria. Following his graduation in 1996, Ignatov continued his training at St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo. In 1997, at the age of 19, fueled by his desire to pur - sue the “American dream,” he entered a lottery to win a Green card. He won – and since he knew only one person in the United States, who lived in California, he moved to the Golden State. He then studied at the prestigious California Institute in North Hollywood and taught painting classes at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art where he taught until 2012. In the course of establishing his artistic roots, Ignatov was influenced by Nicolai Fechin, John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn and Joaquin Sorolla. His work includes figures, portraits, still lifes, wildlife and landscapes. An avid traveler now living in Charleston, S.C., his art is inspired by his many adventures. Ignatov is represented by LePrince Gallery in Charleston. www.ignatovart.com, email: [email protected], Instagram: ignatignatov 12 Live Oak s Oil s 16" x 20" s $2,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Ocean Mist s Oil s 20" x 24" s $3,200.00 s Ignat Ignatov Downtown Sunset s Oil s 18" x 24" s $2,900.00 s Ignat Ignatov Morning Sky s Oil s 18" x 24" s $2,900.00 s Ignat Ignatov 13 Ignat Ignatov FEATURED ARTIST 2020 Sunny Barn s Oil s 30" x 40" s $5,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Summer Sunset s Oil s 30" x 40" s $5,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Beach Sunset s Oil s 30" x 40" s $5,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Solitude s Oil s 30" x 40" s $5,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov 14 Flight Over the Marsh s Oil s 18" x 24" s $2,900.00 s Ignat Ignatov Village House s Oil s 12" x 16" s $1,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Old Barn s Oil s 18" x 24" s $2,900.00 s Ignat Ignatov Passing Clouds s Oil s 18" x 24" s $2,900.00 s Ignat Ignatov 15 Ignat Ignatov FEATURED ARTIST 2020 In the Open Sea s Oil s 22" x 28" s $3,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Oil Lamp s Oil s 12" x 9" s $950.00 s Ignat Ignatov Lantern Glow s Oil s 16" x 12" s $1,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov 16 Alabama and Blanton’s s Oil s 20" x 16" s $2,500.00 Moon Rise s Oil s 9" x 12" s $950.00 s Ignat Ignatov Ignat Ignatov Auburn and Maker’s s Oil s 20" x 16" s $2,500.00 Waves and Clouds s Oil s 22" x 28" s $3,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Ignat Ignatov 17 Ignat Ignatov FEATURED ARTIST 2020 High Tide s Oil s 30" x 40" s $5,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov Coastal Sunrise s Oil s 28" x 22" s $3,500.00 s Ignat Ignatov 18 Mark Bailey BOISE, IDAHO Tomorrow We Sail s Oil on Canvas s 30 " x 30 " s $3,600.00 Logrono s Oil on Canvas s 24 " x 30 " s $3,000.00 s Mark Bailey Mark Bailey Mark Bailey’s painterly brushstrokes subtly define figures and objects within his works. His Impressionist style captures an intimate portrait of his figures and the surrounding environment.

His exquisite figures reveal an unspoken undertone of an individual story within each scene he translates onto canvas. A favorite among collectors, Bailey was chosen in 2010 by Southwest Art magazine as one of “21 Under 31 Artists to Collect Now” and has since been a featured artist within the publication as well as American Art Collector , Fine Art Connoisseur , T he Artist’s Magazine and others. He has also received acclaim in art com - petitions, including Best in Show at the Governor’s Art Exhibit in Colorado.

Bibb, once a creative director for a design firm, has now stepped off the cliff and is painting full time. He started his college education at Auburn University in industrial design, but switched to fine arts to pursue a degree in graphic design. Part painting, part assemblage, part cultural tableau, his work is a pastiche of wood, metal, paper, canvas, tar, wax and even found objects. Simple motifs, including nature and the female form, stand in measured contrast to the quirky compo - sitions, pointed imagery and high-low mix of materials. The result is a wide-ranging and ambi - tious imagery that captures the rich, black wink of the artist’s skewed world view. Bibb’s work can be found in galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Park City, Utah; and regionally in galleries in Atlanta, Birmingham and Nashville. www.sloanebibb.com 50 Jennifer Black CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA Pears, Apples, and Basket s Oil on Linen s 20 " x 23 " s $950.00 Montana Girl s Oil on Linen s 13 " x 13 " s $325.00 Jennifer Black Jennifer Black Award-winning artist Jennifer Black lives and works in Charleston, S.C., where she maintains her studio overlooking the marshes of the Ashley River.
