Matthew Crane Art
American, b. 1984
Matthew Crane is a figurative painter whose work seeks to find a balance between violence and grace. As a self-taught artist, Crane merges abstract expressionism and classic figurative motifs to achieve an isolated and dissociative sense of drama, reflective of his military service during the Iraq war. Crane's work has been exhibited in group shows at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, 464 Gallery, Damon Morey and has been featured in print in the Performer magazine and The Aquarian and Buffalo Spree magazine. Also, an accomplished musician, Crane and his band, The Albrights, have worked and collaborated with The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Nickelodeon, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Vitamin Water.

Judith- 21st Century Contemporary Dutch Painting of Female Strength
By Yvonne Heemskerk
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
Yvonne Heemskerk
Judith
Oil and bitumen on canvas
120 x 180 cm
This painting shows the most important things in the works of Dutch painter Yvonne Heemskerk, female strength and the love for the material. Painted with oils and bitumen to give the layers a kind of roughness that she wants to have for showing what fire does.
The artist herself explains about this work:
Sharing my process and deeper feelings about my painting Judith. My first painting shown with my new found medium… tar(bitumen)!! The roughness of the material is the starter of it all. Underneath all these colors there is this wild, rough untamed sticky basic, that tries to get a grip...
