Whimsical

Downe Burns

Downe Burns is a Texas native.  He is largely a self-taught artist with a distinct style that has almost universal appeal.  Downe’s desire is to create works that are both emotive and pleasant.  He avoids the darker moods of the environment, choosing to allow his imagery to create positive feelings.  He especially likes things that are old.  They produce a feeling of substance rich in time and warm with use.  With rich and bright colors, a new life is breathed into something maybe forgotten or gone unnoticed.  Burns has exhibited throughout the United States.

Christian Charvet

Christian Charvet was born in Paris in 1940.  The artist’s work has evolved through three periods: 1) the “Blue Period” (1970’s), which was characterized by monochrome coloration; 2) the “Blue Period Continuation” (1980’s), in which social groups appear, represented within a carnival theme, but still monochrome and cold looking; and 3) the “Red Period” (1990’s), in which color tones change and he introduces a series of studies on painters and poets.  Most notable is his study of the poet Arthur Rimbaud.  Charvet’s work was recently honored by the French Postal Service, which issued a stamp with Rimbaud’s image.

C. Fox

C. Fox is the studio name for a pair of Chicago artists who combine their talents, ideas and painting techniques into each piece they create. They express their love of mixed media by incorporating textiles (including men’s silk neckties!) acrylics, wood and bits of metal into each piece. Favorite subjects are natural, intricate trees, vines vegetation and flowers. Their most recent works are whimsical, tall, exaggerated floral vases.

C. Fox is also available for commissions, allowing the buyer to specify size, subject matter and color.

Alex Dobrowsky

Born in 1963 in Russia, Alex Dobrowsky showed talent at an early age, resulting in his attendance at The Academy for Gifted Children and later at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, both in St. Petersburg, Russia. Later he studied with artist, Suvorov. He has developed a figurative style in oil reminiscent of French artist Paul Chagall that is primitive, yet sophisticated. His subject matter seems sentimental as it includes Russian folk images of musicians and peasants. Whimsical images of figures, both at rest and play, set in muted landscapes celebrate the past and remind the viewer of the days before high technology. Alex Dobrowsky has repeatedly demonstrated his innate artistic talents through his numerous exhibitions around Europe.

K.C. Woolf

Ever since he was able to hold a pen in his hand, KC has been making art. Born in Santa Cruz, California, he lived all over the United States. His rather eclectic background includes rehabilitating abused exotic animals in a Buddhist temple, participating as a sponsored skateboarder, working as a skilled carpenter, apprenticing for an architect, working as a graphic artist and acting. Since 2002, KC has focused exclusively on painting. In his words... “Art is a medium that opens the door into the unknown, and provides a platform in which one can explore, indulge and grow.”
