Highlights from the Art Shows 2020
with Editor Janice Bremec Blum & Carmen BordasINSTALLATION BIRTH OF THE NIEMAND.
The Birth of the Niemand consists of monumental large sculptures. They represent a whole range of negative emotions that people try to hide in their lives, such as maliciousness, inferiority complex, and unhealthy self confidence. His work and overall approach to art is rather untypical, but at the same time they reflect the situation in society and culture.

ART TODAY 040518 Brett Gilbert is also a Photoshop genius who creates whimsical images for phones, T-shirts… you name it!
I use mechanical pencils, so I don’t have to sharpen a point constantly. Then black ink Bic pen. Then paint in Photoshop. When I paint in oils, I use a spoon to give a thick relief.
Poems: Linda J. Albertano and Her Brother, James AA Stone
Virtue rides into town on a
convertible Clydesdale. She’s wrapped
in blue-and-white
stars
and is eating an apple concoction.
Ah, Virtue! They want
you.
Your symbols
are so succulent! They want to use
you
for purposes of personal
adornment.
Virtue drinks nothing but
water
from glaciers and the sap of lacebark
pine.

Linda J. Albertano expounds about trips to West Africa, and playing the kora with Prince Diabate

I was flattened by the cascades and crescendos of celestial sound that flowed from his exuberant kora (West African harp). It sounded like angel tears bursting into fireworks of joy!
