Introducing a New Original by George Tsui

"BEAUTY BEHIND THE MASK"

George has a fascination for masks,be they Japanese,Chinese, or Italian.Their frozen expression,blank eyes,scornful smile-all give him a sense of the mysterious,powerful yet strange.In this particular work,hedeliberately painted the mask to be skinlike,

as if the concubine is peeling off her face; all this suggesting that, even in the olden days,concubines were no exception in wanting to be somebody else.
The piece was transformed from George's original idea of a pastel-type

color painting to a glazing of the background down to almost nighttime.

The mask was kept as the main focus,with the golden fan, and finally the

girl holding the mask,following in importance.

Exciting new Hessam Abrishami originals for summer 2009

Artist Bio: Hessam

Persian born artist, Hessam Abrishami, creates dynamic compositions using powerful expression and vibrant colors along with great imagination. Inspired and encouraged by a high school teacher, Hessam discovered his love of art and his talent for painting at the age of 15. Within a few years, he was receiving top honors in such competitions as the "New Artist Competition" in Iran.

Hessam attended school in Italy where he concentrated on his love of portraiture and studies of the anatomy, although he did study impressionism, surrealism, cubism and modern art. The education attained in Italy, along with the influence of his native Persia, has helped to shape the colorful, dramatic, exciting, bold artwork that can be no other than Hessam. The French press has called his paintings "a statement in the fluidity of human figures.....with tension between each figure, a kinship that provokes the viewer to seek reasons for such relationship."
