Andrew Palladino Biography I began making prints at a young age, starting in vocational school studying commercial production printing. The technical aspect of image making always interested me, seeing how far I could push mark-making and how it could blend my hand with machine. As the work progressed I began using my technical understanding to influence my drawing observation. My work stems from a variety of visual observations condensed down into independent components that amalgamate into completely new ideas. These new forms create diagrams and maps that guide viewers through my mental process of layering, transitioning, exposing, and covering. With my experience as a press operator I am currently building studio equipment for myself and an artist run collective I work with living Boston. I have also had the honor of working with small teams of printmakers to master-print for artists such as John Walker and Kiki Smith. #artpublication #texturalart #abstract #fineart #collectart #artcollectors #apero #aperocatalogue #artcatalogue #fineartcatalogue #artreview #artforsale #fineartforsale #fineartreview #blackandwhite #contemporaryart #andrewpalladino #intaglio #chinecolle

Janet Milhomme Biography Janet Milhomme is a Los Angeles-based photographer and mixed-media artist. Her work is influenced by a career in journalism and an abiding interest in storytelling. While her subjects are varied and her portfolios distinct—spanning architectural, documentary and conceptual images—her common focus is on technical precision, artistic composition, and thematic expression. Her photographs have been published internationally in newspapers, magazines and books, and her works are held in private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. #apero #aperogallery #aperocatalogue #curatorreview #curatedcatalogue #collectart #artcollectors #artcollection #artforsale #buyart #fineartforsale #artpublication #fineartcollection #fineart #fineartreview #fineartcatalogue #photography #cactigroup #fineartphotography #janetmilhomme #cactuspatch Katelynn Mai-Fusco Biography In gradients of cool blue to light purple to peach, multiple, flowing panels of delicate paper, cut to a distinct wave pattern are back-lit. Sheets of silk chiffon, inspired from family heirloom textiles, hang in front of the artwork, creating a softer atmosphere. A quiet, ambient sound of water is dripping and trickling in the background. I want my viewers to enter a “cave” like space. Experience the need for wonder and tranquility. The installations I create all start with paper. Paper is one of the oldest mediums and has been used for centuries to tell stories. It can be manipulated, torn apart, cut, or merely written on. It is diverse in so many ways. Paper has given me direct access to my stories and journeys of personal trial that I had not been able to access before. During the process of cutting paper I become completely consumed by each repetitive line I am creating. A meditative process ensues. The paper and myself create the broken but fleeting story of the human condition. I look to the sound, light and color of the Poudre River as the foundation for my work. Water itself is the source of life. It has a personality of its own. It is used for the sacred ceremony of baptism due to its delicate nature, and on the other hand is so forceful it can wipe out cities. It not only alters life, but defines it. I reflect the physical and spiritual qualities of water and daily life in my work. #apero #aperogallery #aperocatalogue #artpublication #curatorreview #curatedcatalogue #collectart #artcollectors #artcollection #fineartcollection #fineart #fineartreview #fineartsculpture #fineartcatalogue #paperinstallation #katelynnmaifusco. #amity #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #artinstallation #modernart #installation Min Lu Biography Min is a conceptually driven graphic designer whose work is inspired by her dreams and emotional states, which she abstracts into an subjective viewing experience by emphasizing line, color, and form. She is also interested in exploring connection between the traditional Asian art and western modern art. By blending the Eastern and Western techniques and aesthetics together, new connections can be made and an enhanced appreciation or awareness can be achieved. When creating her work, she uses various mediums including mixed media and a combination of digital imaging and graphic design. #apero #aperogallery #aperocatalogue #curatorreview #curatedcatalogue #artforsale #collectart #artcollectors #artcollection #fineartcollection #fineart #fineartreview #fineartcatalogue #digitalart #ink #digitalphotos #picnic #mixedmedia #gather #minlu Nicholas Kozis Biography The following painting explores the practice of gathering. I was interested in depicting what compels one subject to congregate with another. Some depict the gathering as a form of migration and other show the gathering as a form of territory. The piece is also mixtures of mixed media. The process itself becomes a congregation of materials form my various sources to produce the artwork. #apero #aperogallery #aperocatalogue #curatorreview #curatedcatalogue #artforsale #collectart #artcollectors #artcollection #fineartcollection #fineart #fineartreview #fineartpainting #fineartcatalogue #nickkozis #birds #digitalart #ink #digitalphotos #nicholaskozis #mixedmedia #gather #featuredartist #coverartist Eric Johnston Biography Traveling the world and viewing our modern environment through the eyes of artists past, has given Eric insight on how to preserve current events in the form of art. He aspires to visually educate people on the therapeutic qualities of creative thinking and the impact it can have on one’s soul. The motivation that drives Eric’s creativity is the chance to connect with everyone in the world on issues that he believes are pivotal to our existence. Eric currently resides in Northern California where he received training in Visual Art from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Mr. Johnston plans to continue creating original artwork of individualized style every day, drawing inspiration from the world we all share and the realities we each fabricate. Through the mindful practice of fine art and a passion for cultural affairs worldwide, Eric Johnston has created a distinctive visionary approach to his artwork. Every component of Eric’s artwork relies on one main objective, to precisely reveal a connection in the subconscious mind and alternative realms that cannot exist in our conscious reality. Using academic realism, surrealism, and abstract influences to contemporary art, his paintings represent the way humans perceive reality and the environment in which they exist during dream states. Mr. Johnston’s artwork is centered on the principle of eliciting strong emotional responses to everyday elements based on the viewers past experiences. The ability to see beauty in simplicity is a theme carried throughout every piece of Eric’s artwork which speaks in a language all of its own. Color, form, and composition are all key attributes in Eric’s daily life that help shape the way he views the world around us. A lifetime of drawing and creative mind authority, have led to a realization that all his paintings are physical manifestations of the dream realm. #apero #aperogallery #aperocatalogue #curatorreview #curatedcatalogue #collectart #artcollectors #artcollection #artforsale #buyart #fineartforsale #artpublication #fineartcollection #fineart #fineartreview #ericjohnston #surrealart #socialnetworking #fineartcatalogue #surealism #contemporaryart Kevin Hird Biography In my personal practice I make concept oriented sculptural works from found objects, using the term rather loosely. The objects used range from organic, purchased industrial or consumer goods, to post consumer discarded objects, but all of them are used in a manner that is responsive to the identity of the objects. By identity, I refer to the specific mental associations, related materials, expected actions of the object, surface qualities, historical personal connections to objects, and any other intrinsic properties of material. This identity or these associations are manipulated to achieve something remarkable or unexpected, often nullifying the original utility of the objects while simultaneously referencing them. I recently completed the masters program at the University of Maryland, College Park, and currently live and work in the Baltimore area. #apero #aperogallery #aperocatalogue #artpublication #curatorreview #curatedcatalogue #collectart #artcollectors #artcollection #ceilingart #fineartcollection #fineart #fineartreview #fineartsculpture #fineartcatalogue #sculpture #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #artinstallation #modernart #installation #kevinhird #jedimindtrick Peter Hess Biography Originally from the Netherlands, I’ve been in Los Angeles making art for many years. Art has occupied me from my earliest recollection. As a youngster, I would travel to the public library, return with 10 art books, devour them, then return for 10 more. Though I never had any formal training, I educated myself through visits to museums and galleries, and, of course, by doing the work. I soon learned that every artist has to invent and reinvent painting for themselves. The piece included here represents the paintings I call “Woodworks.” They utilize imagery of wood — planks, boards, timbers, etc. Once-living things which have been extinguished and pressed into a second life of utilitarian service. It is the stuff that surrounds us from cradle to coffin. Examined in this light, my pictures take on aspects of the human journey. Each of us gathered together, planks among planks. #artpublication #acrylicart #stilllife #fineart #collectart #artcollectors #apero #aperocatalogue #artcatalogue #fineartcatalogue #artreview #artforsale #fineartforsale #fineartreview #acryliconcanvas #peterhess #tower #babel Anahid Hagobian Biography Anahid Hagobian was born in 1977-Montevideo-Uruguay. With academic training in graphic design, ceramic modeling, fusion of glass, among others. She worked independently in her design studio for ten years, until she felt the need of a complete dedication to art.

Often, these objects are inclusive of bamboo, string, and metallic leaf. He is currently the apprentice and assistant of George Dunbar in Slidell, LA. Gianelloni states, “I find myself drawn to the same things that inspire my mentor. Nature plays a big role in what makes our creativity flow,” he also says, “It’s difficult to put a label on my work. I feel it is always evolving and I am constantly pulling from all disciplines.” Most currently, Gianelloni’s work is part of the juried Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s “Louisiana Contemporary” show where only 25 artists were selected from the entire state. #artpublication #bamboo #texturalart #abstract #fineart #collectart #artcollectors #apero #aperocatalogue #artcatalogue #fineartcatalogue #artreview #artforsale #fineartforsale #fineartreview #contemporaryart #ryangianelloni #metallicleaf #delta3 |
