Today’s featured artist Charly Palmer depicts with clarity and humility in this thought-provoking yet prolific painting illustrates the importance for citizens in this country to relentlessly pursue justice through and by casting our vote as individuals this (all) upcoming election. Despite what some estranged political figures and media pundits to the right of the isle have chosen to take the path of deception with their misleading motives, greed, mean spirited and hate filled ideology. Notwithstanding, as Americans regardless of color, religion, or educational background we do have the Constitutional Right to Vote regardless of party affiliation. According to this beloved document, “VOTING IS A RIGHT” NOT A PRIVILEGE as the obstructionists attempt to unashamedly mislead with fragments of fear to permanently derail our precious right as Americans to vote now and future elections. –Rob Young | Urban Flux Media

African American, Derrick McCall, Grandpasart

Derrick Alan McCall came to Los Angeles from Baltimore, Maryland looking for new inspirations and expectations of life. Artists before him have said; “A painting is an expression of a thousand words” and “art is an imitation of life. “For Derrick his portfolio is just that. At an early age he began using simple materials to express his artistic self. His parents encouraged this and allowed Derrick to pursue this “new art form” with simple media such as newspaper, plaster and paints watching him create unusual sculptures in various shapes and sizes. To this day, Derrick continues to sculpt these imaginative creations. From teeny tiny bugs, to birds of various types and gargantuan shapes in the forms of crocodiles, tigers and dinosaurs some standing 10-feet tall. -[Biography | Grandpas Art]-

A native Virginian, Wyatt lives in the city in which he was born. He studied art at Virginia State University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Visual Communications, Art, and Design.

Wyatt believes his technique and style are most influenced by Klimpt and other impressionists. He starts his paintings by applying layers of acrylics on paper or canvas and then uses his own unique weathering technique to reveal various shades and textures. Finally, he adds details via stamping, pen and ink, and dry brushing. -[Excerpt | Bio-Aviscafineart.com]

Hoyes’ iconic “Revival Series” tells of a spiritual journey from the African diaspora via an innovative theatrical concept that literally takes the stage for “The Ford 2012 Dance Series”

Bernard Hoyes, SE7EN PAINTINGS

Los Angeles – For over four decades the paintings of visual art master Bernard Stanley Hoyes have stimulated the masses. With compositions that boast majestic color, bold creativity and magnetic passion, his artwork is known for stirring the heart, mind and soul. As an iconic craftsman channeling images from a deeply spiritual space, it has been said that Hoyes’ work ‘speaks’ in more ways than one, touching the core of African worship through Jamaican Revivalism. The fervor behind it all; the moans, hallelujahs and laments, the whispers and the shouts, as well as the wailing and chants that seep through his compositions, are now going to literally jump off the canvas and come to life in a interdisciplinary materialization entitled, “Seven Paintings, a Story in Performance.” The event take place Sunday, August 5, at 8.:00pm at Los Angeles’ Ford Amphitheatre as part of the venue’s ever-popular “FORD 2012 DANCE” series.

Presented by Bernard Hoyes’ Caribbean Fine Arts Publishing and the Jamaica Cultural Alliance, “Seven Paintings” features the art imagery of Hoyes, the choreography of Pat Taylor with her Jazzantiqua Dance Ensemble and drumming in the Yoruba/ Nyabengi tradition from the Kabasa Drum Ensemble. Seven separate works from Hoyes’ Revival Series will serialize a story of ambition and redemption. Each work will represent a scene as it is rear projected, stimulating the chapter’s interpretation by the dancers as Hoyes’ art is transformed into a magical staging of music, dance and pantomime. An engaging tambourine chorus chants the narrative of the next painting as they luminously transform from scene to scene.
