Henri Rousseau : Post - Impressionism

Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (1844-1910) was a French Post-Impressionist, considered as naïve or primitive painter. I contemplate his work differently as he is a self-taught genius! (Post-Impressionism: French art since Manet)

Mehmet Guleryuz - Contemporary Istanbul Art Fair:

Mehmet Guleryuz, born in 1938, has been graduated from Istanbul Fine Arts Academy from Painting Department. In his early stages he studied theatre in Haldun Dormen Theater, directed some plays, went to Paris to study Painting and Lithography, taught in his former Art School and resigned to live in New York from 1980 to 1984 where he sculpted and prepared prints in Brussels before returning to Istanbul in 1985. Since then he was teaching in Bilsak where he published "Kalin" an art magazine and he also exhibited his works of the previous 25 years in the meantime. He anticipated in many projects including "Counter Wild" Series in Sheraton Hotel, Ankara, 7 paintings in Polat Renaissance Hotel and then became president of IAA Turkey and a member of the World IAA executive committee between 2002-2005.

I really like his brush and palette strokes and admired his choice of colors:

Andy Kehoe

Andy Kehoe's childhood was dragged along the coasts of Spain, Latin America and California. He somehow found himself in Pittsburg, PA where he currently makes art for a living

Kathleen Lolley

Her work reminds me of Andy Kehoe's a bit. Maybe because of their use of color, maybe it's their woodsy fantasy worlds projected to their canvases or maybe because they both ended up in Pittsburg, PA making their art!

I wonder if there is a name for this type of folkloric and fairytailsih art...

Moon Ritual, Oil on wood

Sudden Growth of Seeds Well Planted, Acrylic on wood, 18″ x 18″ 2010

Wild Flowers, Acrylic on wood, 24″ x 24″
