Paul Chojnowski

Paul  Chojnowski

Paul Chojnowski lives in New England and exhibits his art in New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and other cities. Throughout his career he has used nontraditional materials and tools in his art making. His current work: fire drawings evolved as a result of his conscious effort to embrace art historical traditions while rejecting the traditional processes. “Though my work has a unique appearance, it is not an aspect of style—it is a result of this volatile and unforgiving process. I burn, scorch, re-burn, sand and scratch the surface of paper or wood trying to coax from it simple vivid images.”

Stephan Balleux

Stephan Balleux

Stephan Balleux is a Belgian artist based in Brussels, Belgium. His work is dealing with position of painting in our digital age. The various techniques (drawing, painting, sculpture, video and special effects) constitute as many fields of investigation. From these experiences emerges an image, in constant change, erasing any temporality. Like a virus, the pictorial texture propagates itself and its digitalization becomes an eminently contemporary process.

Art fuels me, that sums up my life. From the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to bed I am looking at images, researching, creating or promoting art. My home town is Ishpeming Michigan. Ishpeming is a very small close community that I believe helps me in my creative process. Besides being a full time artist I also own an art and culture e-Mag Art On Ice, http://www.artonicemag.com.
