Lorenzo Quinn studied at the

American Academy of Fine Arts in New

York and subsequently in workshops

and foundries across the United States

and Europe. Starting out as a painter in

1982, he soon discovered that a

dimension was missing from his works

and that he could not offer anything

that had not already been offered by

other artists before him. Turning to

sculpture because of a deep-rooted need

to create, he found this medium allowed

him to convey his innermost feelings to

the viewer; it is, in fact, this direct

communication which Lorenzo

constantly seeks. He says, “It is the

viewer that interests me not the art

critic...I make art for myself and the

people who wish to come along for a

ride through my dreams.” He is inspired

by the great masters such as

Michelangelo, Bernini, Carpaux and

Rodin, and he frequently returns to Italy

to gain inspiration and knowledge.Encounters

A painter and a sculptor, an

excellent draughtsman and

a craftsman, the Israeli artist

David Gerstein seeks to

expand the limits of the

two-dimensional paintings

into three-dimensional

sculptures. In his choice of

subject matter he wishes to

break down the existing

barriers between the work

of art and its audience, by

creating enchanted and

simple straight forward

images, which render

sometimes intimate, dream-

like, naïve scenes and

another times a cinematic,

large scale, choreographed

reality.

His creations also speak from the heart of the discordant struggle of urban American life. Born Dale Charles Mathis in 1972, and raised in Inglewood, California. His was a childhood surrounded by gangs and crime. His family and art from the earliest ages shielded him and drew him to the path less traveled. Growing up in Inglewood, he always had a desire to be like MacGyver, taking things apart and not trying to put them back together but finding creative new uses for the parts. Deeply inspired by artists Salvador Dali and Edmonia Lewis, – Art was his escape into another reality he could create for himself. He is a truly self taught artist.
