ABOUT THE ARTIST
The extent to which mankind has pursued physical beauty throughout
history, regardless of the pain, dangers and sacrifices endured
through self disfigurement is seen in Tobey's mural, entitled
Cultural Mutilations in Pursuit of Beauty. This mural was
completed by Tobey in 1966, and installed in the Smithsonian's
Hall of Physical Anthropology opposite his Trephinations mural.

CALL FOR ARTISTS
THE PHASES OF EVE : A

The
Art Fix International is looking for artists interested

and painting created by a group of international artists.
A maximum number of 20 artists among the online show participants
will be selected for an offline show that will be marketed
and placed at different galleries in the United States, Canada
and Europe. Therefore, artwork included in the application
must be available for showing and must be smaller than 48"
x 48" (120cm x 120cm) including frame. Retail price of
artwork can not be more than $2,500 US. Artists can submit
up to 4 .jpeg images of available artwork by emailing them

| In
February 2004, The Art Fix project started with 250 art-related
contacts in my personal list. Today, The Art Fix campaigns reach
a targeted art-related audience of around 15,000 weekly. By
the end of 2005, The Art Fix's network is expected to reach
20,000-25,000 art-related contacts. To date, around 700 artists
and galleries have been promoted in The Art Fix campaigns. The
Art Fix project filled a promotional void and need of a large
art-related audience with a professional look, credibility and
an honest message "Promoting art for the sake of sanity,
happiness and art itself." However, the more we grow, the
more expensive and time consuming it gets to sustain this free
venue. |

Urban Totem #511
|
|
|
|
...Driven by instinct, and informed by a highly developed
minimalist aesthetic sense of balance and proportion, Glinka’s
work is simplicity itself. But simplicity is never simple.
Even his materials carry emotional weight: barbed wire, ash,
pearls. Werner has always found inspiration at the intersection
of man and nature, and the interaction and juxtaposition of
the two. But while Urban Totems show his roots in this regard,
this new work is more about his branching out into rich new
territory beyond pure aesthetics, into the emotional shorthand
of symbolism and the power we invest in it.
