ElishaHigley www.higley-art.com New Look at Life acrylic on canvas 24x30 inches 2014“The creative Adult is the child who survived”. Following my dreams of becoming an artistwas not my first choice. It was not even my second or third. I am not qualified to even do sobut life has a way of surprising you. I got to live in Cape Town where I realised that creativepeople are everywhere. I got to meet amazing people and learn from them. It was here whereI got to embrace my individuality and experience the beauty this country has to offer. It wasin Cape Town where I got to apply paint to a canvas for the first time. An amazing artist anda dear friend of mine allowed me to experience the wonders of art. An obsession to expressmyself in a creative way was born. It took me a few years to find my style as well as the cour- age to share my style with the rest of the world. My love for the facial expressions and rich skin colours narrowed it down to a style I like to call “Afri – PopArt”. Afri-PopArt was born in my studio in Pretoria when I merged my passion for the “Rich skin” and my amusement for the once famous but forgotten Pop Art style. Hope you enjoy my work as much as I do… Child of Innocence acrylic on canvas 36x36 inches 2013100 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

WillyBihoreau www.willy-bihoreau.com A message from Teddy acrylic on canvas 12x12 cm 2010Morta Lisaacrylic on canvas52x81 cm2010 The paintings of Willy Bihoreau launch us into post-end-of-the-world industrial landscapes. His visions, as realistic as they are horrifying, begin as an assem- blage of photographic elements which are then applied to canvas and totally reworked in acrylic. “The idea is to show a future in which our civilizations are but traces, memories of the time when humanity ceaselessly pillaged, poisoned and destroyed life and resources. The point is to participate in the awakening of consciousness which is imperative for our future. But perhaps mankind is still too backward to deserve survival...“102 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

www.jaewoopark.fr JaewooPark Untitled oil painting 162x130 cm 2013The oil paintings of Jaewoo Park take their source in photographic prepara-tory work. The instantaneous nature of the shutter contrast with their long andlaborious transcription on canvas, doing superposing, waiting for drying andretouching... The original photographs are taken quickly, without flash, evenat night, giving a character blurry and imprecise, as if they were reflected ina window or viewed through a steamy glass. Jaewoo Park reproduces scru-pulously these imprecision in his paintings, which gives an intimate aspect,fragile, real but sometimes unreal. In contrast to a cold and mechanical hy-perrealism, his paintings affect us just by their desired imperfections, generat-ing a huge plastic delight.

She studied French/2013 art history at La Sorbonne and earned a BA in Liberal Arts from Lincoln University,PA. Transforming images into non-tra- ditional compositions fascinates her. She attempts to explore how images and concepts are inter- preted in an abstract dimension. Subjects that appear stable in a realistic setting demonstrate unstable properties in the abstract realm. What appears to be genuine is nothing but a façade. The emotional instability of humans is presented in its natural state, raw and disoriented. Graphic elements, such as lines, shading and intense col- ours are utilized to express the true emotions. Insomnia: Texting mixed media 19x25 cm 2013118 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

www.jameslepkowski.com JamesLepkowskiFrom the Fall Untitled (H)wood, steel MDF, faux felt, faux fur2012 2013 My work consists of 143 various materials and building techniques. I am fascinated with the way things are made in relation to how they function. I am constantly excited to learn more about methods of pro- ducing form and applyingthese methods to the sculptures I create. Organ-ic structures found in nature and their com-parison to the industrialized world in whichwe live tend to divide my curiosity betweenlocating their differences, and also finding in-fluence of natural design in manmade formsand structures. I currently work for an art andarchitectural design studio based in Brooklyn,New York. Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

PatrickSimkins www.psimkinsart.co.ukElderspre-paintedcollaged canvas60x80 cm2013The Athlete Working full-time from hispre-painted collaged canvas studio in London, Patrick144x220 cm creates work that studies2013 the distorted values that we place on objects, ex- periences and each other. The ‘Heads’ are created using torn up canvas, each piece representative of a painterly mark. During his role as a London Olympic Storytell- er, Patrick met and painted Oscar Pistorius. The athlete’s subsequent fall from grace prompted the artist to reflect upon representatives of mod- ern society. The size of the pieces pays tribute to the subject, acting almost as a shrine. But the intricate and fragile nature of them, with some pieces often pinned to the wall, suggests an impermanence. We ask ourselves, how easy could it be to tear this person apart? The piec- es touch upon themes of human fragility, our own morality and the hypothesis that greatness is ultimately flawed. Patrick exhibits regularly throughout the capital.144 Hidden Treasure Art Magazine Yearbook

He comes from a three genera- tions artistic family. He started painting in the ’70s, very much influ- enced by Francois Mo- rellet and Vasarely. The “structure”, the “haz- ard”, and the “games” played an essential rolein the construction of his surfaces. He start-ed creating organic surfaces in the 1980’s.Sea, Earth and Sky are his building blocksand source of inspiration. He directs our at-tention to natural materials that we usuallytake for granted and pass by without notic-ing. In this way he creates a strong link be-tween the past and the present, by revealingthe Nature’s contemporary abstract aspects.His work has been shown at London, Paris,Madison-Dakota, Brussels, Tournai, Shangaiand Los Angeles.
