I am continually impressed by the detail and magnificence of Kris Kuksi's sculptures. He must never stop to eat or sleep. Since I met Kris (online) I have seen a new sculpture almost every fortnight. Each more detailed than the last. I am also fortunate enough to own an original drawing by Kris, which can be seen in the beinArt Collection. Kris is just as talented at Drawing & Painting as he is with mixed media sculpture. I look forward to meeting Kris and seeing his sculptures in the flesh.

Sergei Aparin recently published a Monograph of his Paintings, Drawings & Sculptures 

Sergei is an incredible painter who's works have been described as enigmatic & metaphysical. I am a huge admirer of Sergei's Art and have watched his portfolio grow for many years now.

I look forward to recieving his new book in the post. Sergei's book is 128 pages, with 90 color reproductions, with a hard cover and is limited  to 1000 copies. If you want to purchase a signed copy, send an email via Sergei's contact form.

"…Even an objective picture of reality in a given moment reveals only one of its possible viewings. I attempt instead to encourage new creations, outside of the fenced world of perceptual experience; to convert dreams of reality to the reality of life."

Sergei Aparin - 2006 

Sergei Aparin is also one of 50 Artists featured in our first publication entitled Metamorphosis.

Ivan Titor is a fantastic artist from The Czech Republic who emailed me the other day about being featured on beinArt.org. I am excited to share his work with the world.

Here is an exerpt from Ivan's Artist statement: 

"In my paintings I prefer balancing on an imaginary edge that, in our minds, divides reality and fiction, the beginning and the end, as well as order and chaos."

Robert Williams is one of the most popular artists in America today and is a featured artist in the Surreal Art Collective. His dynamic work often includes women, cars, food, and 1950's Americana. Robt. masters the so-called "lowbrow" art-forms: rock album cover art, comic art, hot-rod art, etc.

Here is a recent documentary interview of Robert Williams (sourced from YouTube) which I found very interesting. Williams speaks passionately about the trends of the contemporary art world, the general bias against representational paintings and being pigeon holed as a common illustrator.

In mid 1960s San Francisco, Robt. became art director for hot-rod hero Ed "Big Daddy Roth. Robt. quickly became one of the most important West Coast underground artists - creating psychedelic posters and contributing to comics like Zap with great artists like Robert Crumb.

Williams also founded Juxtapoz Magazine and is considered the founding father of Cartoon Surrealism & Lowbrow Art. Nicolas Cage, Leonardo diCaprio, Johnny Depp, Jesse James & many other celebrities have purchased Robt. Williams' paintings.

We have also published a short article by Williams on Lowbrow Art
