Every artist undresses his subject, whether human or still life. It is his business to find essences in surfaces, and what more attractive and challenging surface than the skin around a soul? ~Richard Corliss~

Genesis: The beginning of a journey

Update on exhibition: Frances Lozear 3 April 2010 @ Essensual Art Gallery

Frances has created her own Blog (Yay!) and this is an extract of her post:

"... Being an artist being a bit split in two between the contemporary world that challenges people and their way of thinking to the painting of the human figure and paintings being used for Tarot, spiritual cards and lastly for book illustrations the later obviously because it sells and people and interior decorators love to hang beautiful works in their homes. Beautiful being art that is "easy on the eye" 
I try and paint works that is emotionally moving, but also just what I am experiencing at that moment. I know if it touches me " the artist" that it will connect with the viewer. 

Art has its own language even though you can't hear it the same way as music, you can see and feel its energy reaching within awakening a reaction of “I connect to this” or “I don’t like this” but it still provokes a reaction. Most artists paint to sell, others starve consumed by the emotion and art is everything because it is the only thing that makes sense and the only companion that has carried them through hardships...

I’m using the next two months to solidly focus on completing my works for my next exhibition now in April of this year. Because Clarens in its own warped way it has taught me real love and real loss."
