Artists Members Winter Edition 2012
Featuring over 100 artists from around the world.
Artists Haven Gallery located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL was established in March 2005 by Michael & Elaine Joseph seeking to promote his fine art photography as well as the work of other artists. Our contemporary gallery offers art by established, mid career, and emerging artists while boasting a diverse collection of paintings, mixed media, drawings, collage, digital creations, photography, pastels, and watercolors. The process by which a gallery selects artists to represent is very subjective, varies to a great extent from person to person, and place to place. Our gallery exists to present quality art in a superior environment. We strive to nurture the creditability and value of each artist we come into contact with.
We have taken into careful consideration much of the criteria, understanding, and necessities of operating a successful art business. By definition our gallery is a place offering favorable opportunities and conditions. The gallery has become a respected resource for private collectors, interior designers, and corporate art consultants.
Over the past seven years the boundaries have since blurred between defining where the artist-gallery relationship ends and a personal friendship begins. With the opening of our doors we have welcomed the occasion to share with our community, build lasting associations, help benefit worthwhile causes and charities, and to support the arts.

Again, we can only encourage photographers to continue to submit works to shows such as this one.

D. from New York University and for many years, was a visiting professor at New York State University as well as, on faculty at New York University. More recently, Waxman was full professor and chairman at Hunter College, City University of New York.

They are displayed in Long Island museums and in numerous private and corporate collections. His next one-person show is in February, 2013 at the Ft. Lauderdale, Artists Haven Gallery.
"The current oil and acrylic paintings are, in part, a re-visit to my French and American studies with impressionist and abstract artists; Fernand Leger and Elaine de Kooning and, countless visits to Monet's Giverney and the artist studios and galleries of Montmatre and the Marais. I want my paintings to be laden with rich, inviting layers of color, texture and impressions. When seen, time-after-time, the paintings offer delight and individualized discoveries to the viewer."

ROMANTIC ART by Ira Rom-Lorenz
Décor and art is my first love…..I like to create and put flowers on the canvas. Those flowers of a paradisiacal place in the late afternoon, the abundance of romanticism, I am charmed with the late afternoon overcast of the sea. I love the color of the clouds, as they take, when the sun becomes lost in the distant horizon…..My colors are gold and blue, silver and red …..Every flower is distinct, different with character, and I believe there is nothing more romantic than “still life”, captured in a moment of time.

RECENT PAINTINGS by Sinai Mordecai Waxman
The current paintings in this series were completed in 2009 and 2010 and are a continuation of a 60 year-old journey. Waxman was especially influenced during the years by three artists. his teacher, Fernand Leger, encouraged the development of powerful art and abstracted drawing. From Henri Matisse, Waxman embraced delicious sensuousness, stunningcolor and strong softness. He took texture, multi-dimentional emotion and assertive composition from his other hero; George Rouault.

The ocean, for me, is a symbol of the eternal rhythm of being. Its unending wave patterns suggest the infinite possibilities of the universe. Painting the ocean is an ever changing experience and challenge. I often go to the Southeast Florida beaches to paint studies. The light and the rapid shifting movement of the waves constantly alter the colors and the forms. I translate my pleine aire experience and emotional response to the sea in my studio paintings. Exploring the viscosity of oil paint and a variety of mark making best express my response to the power and energy of our environment, always arousing an excitement of interactive color.

BURNT ORANGE By Jim Lively
Based on thirteen original paintings, the concept behind Jim Lively’s book of photographs, paintings and images from video installations was to explore and probe the essence or the etymology of two words - burnt orange. Despite the obvious relation to his alma mater, the University of Texas, this book is for anyone who may find himself consciously giving chance toward an unchartered yet exhilarating new calling. An emotional chord resonated powerfully during Lively’s ongoing search and discovery of his own burnt orange while creating these works.
In Burnt Orange, Lively incorporates photographs that relate and interact with the paintings. Instead of his signature placement of female protagonists directly upon the canvas in surreal environments, Lively instead uses photographs to capture the female image interacting with the paintings.
Experimenting with different techniques, Lively took thousands of photographs capturing images of the actual paintings interacting with video and projected color effects. He then edited a video containing only those images that most succinctly captured the vibrancy of burnt orange.
Over the course of several weeks, eight different female models were recruited to pose in front of a white wall as the edited video projected directly upon them. With little or no direction, the models slowly began to naturally interact with the video. Movements ranged from motionless blank stares directly into the camera to provocative spontaneity while the video rolled from frame to frame.

This book contains my art work. It is mainly celebrity portraits, but also some pictures of friends and relatives of mine. I have drawn the most of them with pencil and charcoal on paper. All the colour images are made on the computer except a couple that are made with watercolor on paper.
I was born in 1959 in Stockholm, Sweden, where I also live and work. Mostly self taught, I have taken classes in oil painting (10 lessons, each two hours long), and mostly works with pencil and paper. I will try oil painting on paper, on specific paper for that. I have only tried on canvas before.

Non-Conformist, The Grey Series Paintings By Jim Lively
Whether portrayed in the abstract, realism, or somewhere in between, I am most influenced by the beautiful, unattractive and sometimes humorous components of contemporary urban culture. Many times, one painting will reflect all these components.
Images from the paintings categorized as my "Non-Conformist, The Grey Series" are contained in this book. This series of paintings continue to depict interesting juxtaposition of images always including the grey protagonist. However, the paintings are more sensual and provocative than my typical figurative paintings. All the paintings are intended to be a tribute to the spirit of non-conformity.
The title and theme of this book, "Non-Conformist, The Grey Series" is intended to be a double entendre similar to the subject matter of many of my paintings. First, I am now a grey non-conformist or would be if I had hair. I will have to rely on my goatee to reflect my grey to the world. Secondly, I admire the spirit and non-conforming attitude of the grey Weimaraner dogs that I have had the pleasure of sharing the same roof various times over the past 30 years.
