www.omarkhairat.com A composer, pianist, founder and conductor of "Omar Khairat's Group". Born in Cairo. He was raised in a family of musicians. His uncle is Abou-Bakr Khairat, the great Egyptian composer and architect who established the Cairo Conservatoire and enriched the Arab music with great symphonic pieces. Influenced by this legacy Omar Khairat discovered new musical dimensions in the emotions and memories of the Egyptian and Arab personality. He joined the Cairo Conservatoire in 1959, studied piano with Italian Maestro Vincenzo Carro and followed correspondence courses in music theory and composition with the Trinity College in England. Omar Khairat shaped his musical identity as a professional independent composer achieving new musical visions characterized with deepness and richness. His debut performing in film music was The Night of Arresting Fatma in 1983. According to music experts and critics, Omar Khairat's music bridges contemporary Arab music and Western music reflecting genuine maturity. Moreover, he is considered to be one of the most outstanding composers presenting successful works like The Fortune-teller, The Magic Perfumes (1989), and the Arab Rhapsody (1992). He also composed music for international events like the National Feast of Oman 1993, the Inauguration Ceremony of Bibliotheca Alexandrina 1996, Carthage Festival, Tunisia, Operetta El Sheikh Zaid, Emirates 2000, Panorama El Abour "Symphonic Poem", Musical Impact Cairo 1991, Fine Arts Cycle ...
Helicopters also offer fascinating fodder for artists, especially those who have served in them. Used for troop transport, rescue, heavy lifting, attack, and patrol, the modern helicopter has changed the face of war. One of my favorite photographs (not included here) was a picture shot by another Denver Post/National Geographic photographer, Al Moldvay, showing a group of Vietnamese soldiers getting their first airlift to the front. Their faces were frozen in awe and tinged with fear. The music is Matthew Good's "Black Helicopters."

"Many things have inspired me as an artist. One of the biggest influences on my work is "Shamanic" art, which includes the art of pre-historic Europe and the Middle East as well as African, Polynesian, and native American art. In addition to this I would also include the art of ancient civilizations such as Egyptian, Sumerian, Meso-American, etc... Closer to the present era, some of my favourite artists are Picasso, Escher, Elvgren, Monet, and Haring. These are the guys who made me want to be a painter. Of course I can not deny that contemporary popular culture in general has made me who I am today; the world that I live in and all I perceive in our particular age location. Everything from music to architecture, from video games to religious symbols has all had an impact on me.
Anna Maria Elisabeth Lisinska Jerichau-Baumann was a Polish-Danish painter of german decent. At the age of nineteen, Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann began her studies in Düsseldorf. She began exhibiting there and in 1844 attracted public attention for the first time. She moved to Rome,and it was here that she met her future husband, the danish sculptor Jens Adolf Jerichau, whom she married in 1846. The couple moved to Copenhagen in 1849 where her husband became a professor in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Elisabeth was not well received by the Danish art world which was preoccupied at the time with preserving a Danish artistic identity based in the Danish Golden Age of art and the legacy of CW Eckersberg. She was not intimidated, however, and tried to find subjects that would appeal to the Danish public. Even though her painting Danmark (1851) became well-known, she had more success with painting portraits of important Danes and did several of Queen Louise of Denmark (1817 - 1898). and her daughters who kept up a correspondence with her. Yet in spite of this royal patronage, the Danish art world remained cool toward her and the State Museum of Art bought and exhibited only one of her paintings 'A Wounded Danish soldier'. She had great success abroad, however, and had a special following in France where she was twice represented at the World Fair in Paris, first in 1867 and again in 1878. In 1852 she exhibited some of her paintings in London, and Queen Victoria ...

Blue Tales Presented by Skoto Gallery April 1, 2010- May 8, 2010 Reception: April 1, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm [Add to Google Calendar] Khalid Kodi [Image from Blue Tales (Khalid Kodi)] Skoto Gallery is pleased to present Blue Tales, an exhibition of recent works by the Sudanese-born artist Khalid Kodi. This will be his second solo show at the gallery. The reception is Thursday, April 1, 6-8pm and the artist will be present. Khalid Kodis recent work continues his exploration of strategies that fuse personal history and experience with his desire to portray social, spiritual and utopian transformations. He creates works that are infused with strong references to magical realism and deep concern for the aesthetic struggle between form and concept. He uses contemporary themes drawn from the rich story-telling traditions of his homeland to construct intricately layered and textured pictures that demonstrate a mastery of design, color, composition and draftsmanship. The often repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes in his work are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. His landscapes are not representations of nature in the traditional sense of the term, rather they are abstract expressions of new artistic and spiritual possibilities, using planes of color and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields that are at once both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an abstraction from observed nature. Khalid Kodi, is a prolific ...

Her style being classified as abstract expressionism, imagist and romanticism, is contemporary and continues to evolve. The technique includes mixed media, inspired by strong colour and contrast, of the present environment.

The language of art, in all its forms, has always played an influence, inspiring and evoking feelings, because - People dont care, what you have, or where you live, but they remember how you made them feel Davina Nicholas has a ...

The next poem was in the show pamphlet To feel and express the astonishing beauty of things, falling rocks flowing water, hard, soft, pain, delight, are constants. The chiseled human form, weathered with its thoughts, frenzies, and passions. Balancing light and dark, without holding on the inhuman nature of reality- To feel Greatly, and understand greatly, and express greatly, the natural beauty of things, is the business of dance.
