Interview with the Artist Andy Kehoe

The artist should not only paint what he sees before him, but also what he sees
in himself. – Caspar David Friedrich, 19th-century German Romantic painter

Uninhibited by any sense of natural order, Kehoe is known for his mixed-media work of human-animal hybrids set in forested backgrounds. Greatly inspired by the Romanticism movement of the 19th century and their emphasis on individuality, emotion, and drama, Kehoe has a similar intuition when creating otherworldly landscapes. With a focus on imagination and emotional response as the source of aesthetic experience, his fantastical imagery evokes a sense of wonderment by emphasizing the grandeur of nature.

Interview with the Photographer Dave Aharonian

I picked up my first camera at age 14 so I could photograph the fall colors in Ontario. Since that time I have been most inspired by the natural landscape. Once I moved to Vancouver Island I knew I had found my home, my favorite place being that area where land meets ocean. About 10 years ago I also began to photograph nudes in the landscape, primarily the west coast rainforest. I never cease to feel wonder when in these beautiful places.

Interview with the Artist Kazuki Takamatsu

Q: Tell us a little about your method and how you came to favor this medium.

A: I use 3DCG to make a drawing and print it on tarpaulin. Then I paint acrylic gouache by hand and air brush to finish it.
I used to make a clay model and cut several layers then, I used oil to make a painting.
However, it is quite difficult to make a complicated motif by cutting a clay model. Then, I met a 3DCG creator at one of my shows and he suggested that I could use a computer and CG. I believe that 3DCG is the best way to express my concept, so I have been studying 3DCG by myself. more » “Interview with the Artist Kazuki Takamatsu”
