Yvette M. Buigues
Yvette M. Buigues lives and works in Oakland, California. Her
inspiration comes from no one place in particular; in her work one can
see and feel her exploration of the emotional, physical and spiritual
aspects of everyday life. Through bold images she
speaks to relationships between people, the state of the world, the
human condition. The multiple layers of color and detail often times
contain subtle observations and a darker sense of humor. Buigues works
most often with acrylic paint. She finds
great pleasure and touches base with whimsy in her pen and ink
drawings, and experiments in seriography. About the drawings: I have
always kept a journal of drawings. Until recently they mostly stayed
there, not meant for others to see. At the suggestion
of a friend, I began posting them on Instagram and Facebook, the response was inspiring, so here they are. Whimsical
yet possessing plenty symbolism and emotion, I find these entertaining with a life of their own. heavyblackline.com, buigues.tumblr.com
Karl X. Hauser
Karl X. Hauser lives and works in San Mateo. He attended the Herron
School of Art (BFA) and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
(MFA) and has been a practicing artist since 1981. In addition to
drawings/prints, he has worked in sculpture (ceramic,
neon), video, and performance art, and continues to work in cast
glass, cast metal, and ceramic sculpture in addition to drawing,
painting, and digital collage. His mother, a self-taught artist who
invented blue roses, taught him to draw at an early
age so he would not make a mess with her paints. the Architecture of Agony, Facebook.
