FEATURED ARTISTENIL ENCHEV, Bulgaria

21 ETUDES ON TURNER

15x15cm. oil pastels on cardboard

My works as an architect, artist and musician are inspired by 20th century art: Prokofiev, Miles Davis, Mies van der Rohe, Kandinsky, Georges Braque, Juan Miro, and Rothko.

Looking further back, Turner has taught me to minimize detail without losing it completely.

I work in acrylic paint on canvas or oil pastels on card. I appreciate and value the texture of the base and often add even more textures. In my abstract expressions of reality I rely more on unconscious suggestions and intuition than on any concrete notions. I firmly believe that anyone can see and understand beauty.

BROCK UNIVERSITY & MARILYN I. WALKER SCHOOL OF FINE & PERFORMING ARTS

Opened in 1964, Brock University is named for Maj.-General Sir Isaac Brock, who died at nearby Queenston Heights in the War of 1812. His last words - „Surgite! Push on!“ - have become the University‘s motto.The Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and

Performing Arts was formed in 2002 as an interdisciplinary centre for creative and scholarly activities. We are respected pro-fessionals who are experienced teachers and remain active in our disciplines, bring-ing relevant and up-to-date instruction.Our collective mission embraces a com-

bination of critical thinking, theoretical reflection and practical outcomes. In of-fering 3-year Pass, 4-year BA (Hons) and BMus degrees, we provide the foundation for hands-on experience while encouraging insight, rigour and independent thought. The history of our respective art forms and the thematic relationships between contempo-rary practice and conceptualization are key to understanding how imagination, creativity and innovation are at the heart of society’s most original cultural expression.Our commitment is to student-centered

learning, innovative teaching, praxis, and community interaction. Our strength is the caliber of our faculty, our award-winning research and teaching and our vision for an integrated approach to the fine and per-forming arts.

ARCHIVO GRAFICO, MEXICO Even if Mexico is regarded as a

country with a solid tradition in the

graphic arts, it certainly represents

a challenge for a graphic workshop

to reach subsistence and attain so-

lidity. Ten years after its foundation,

Archivo Gráfico is not only a con-

solidated workshop, but it has

reached precedents in this coun-

try as a Workshop specialized in

the technique of Monotipia, the

most fleeting and direct of the

graphic techniques due to its fast

reproduction, both in the creative

process as well as in its impres-

sion. A single print gives no pos-

sibility for changes or hesitation; it

is the most authentic and sincere

expression between the idea in

the artist’s mind and the imprint

on paper. A clean and transparent

correlation, almost untouchable,

conception and execution: there

lies the magic of monotype.

Felipe Cortés, a graduate of

the Escuela Nacional de Artes

plásticas La Esmeralda, was the

founder, in 2002, of the Taller Ar-

General View with the works of the artists from Archivo Grafico

chivo Gráfico, Gráfica Mexicana

Contemporánea, in Colonia Roma,

Mexico City. The proximity of the

technique with painting, the fluidity

and agility of its language and the

need of communication charac-

teristic of a workshop, generated

in between its members, particu-

larly between author and printer,

were the principal reasons that led

a permanent group of artists to

work exclusively in this technique

in Archivo Gráfico, under the di-

rection of Felipe Cortés.
