"Lost Leaf" Original Digital Paintings by Mathilde Vhargon at the OZLAND Art Gallery

Mathilde Vhargon is a former professional classical musician. She began making sculpture in Second Life and then became more focused on digital painting, which she creates using only Gimp software and a mouse or digital drawing pad. She loves the many possibilities digital software offers for creating and saving multiple versions of a piece she is working on. Her paintings suggest themselves to her a little at a time without conscious planning. She often uses small sections of them as materials to develop into new paintings.

Mathilde dislikes sharp corners and edges, so her process usually involves blending and merging for smooth transitions, with dozens of small adjustments to produce the subtle, rich, analogous colour layering she enjoys. She loves strong colours and flowing abstract forms. You will often find ambiguous suggestions that lead the viewer to imagine various possibilities and interpretations. She is most happy when her art creates a chain of associations and questions about life and humanity.  "The possibility that we might touch someone with a common connection, making them think and feel in response to our work, is the most wonderful thing about making art," she says.

You can view Mathilde's artwork at the OZLAND Art Gallery the month of February. Don't forget to take home the FREE gift she has made for all visitors.

"Noteworthy" Musical Sculptures Artwork by Treacle Darlandes - November 2012

Treacle Darlandes comes to SL to relax from the pressures of RL and loves the visual stimulants in SL. She likes to meet and find out about people both in her own country (UK) and from around the world. The wonderful visual effects of SL she hopes to recreate in her SL art. Colour, texture and shape. Everyone who views her sculptures and wall art likes something different. Many of her sculptures look completely different in SL daylight, midnight, or sunset. As you look at her sculptures try the different environment settings SL has to offer. The collaboration of Treacle's art and the written music of Nicolaus Skytower is available on itunes and cdbaby, and recently a singer songwriter from New York State, USA (Winter Wetherby SL name) has included some of Treacle's SL art on the cover of his latest CD.

JudiLynn India - Artist for September 2012

Controlled Chaos Acrylic Paintings by JudiLynn India at the OZLAND Art Gallery

 JudiLynn India has been drawing since she could hold a crayon. She studied art throughout school, Commercial Art in high school and Graphic Design in college. After the turn of the century, she decided to focus HER creativity on acrylic and digital painting and has totally enjoyed the journey. Known in SL as JudiLynn India and RL as JUDILYNN, her mission is to share her vision and message as an artist with the global community. Her work embodies her spirit and personality. Her goal is to allow the viewer to experience the image with their own mind's eye. Her work is entirely intuitive. She gets lost in the layering of texture and color. Occasionally, she will include figurative work if her spirit is so presented with the composition. Just as there is order in the chaos of the universe, the energy within her is brought into focus one canvas at a time. You can view JudiLynn's artwork at the OZLAND Art Gallery the month of September. Don't forget to pick up the FREE gift she has made too.

HHB 1900's England Photography Exhibit by Sven Pertelson

HHB (Horace) was born in 1882 and moved to London as a teenager in 1900. He had many jobs... Builders Clerk, Carpenter and Taximeter repairer and he loved to photograph his everyday life.

The HHB Exhibit in OZLAND commemorates his memory. Sven Pertelson found Horaces' glass plate negatives whilst cleaning out a family shed. Over 200 plates were recovered and Sven vowed to the family to look at them and preserve those that were not too damaged by the years of neglect. That was  many years ago and now he has the equipment to do the job


This July we will remember Horace through his photographs. Sven has carefully cleaned and digitally enhanced 20 of his favorite photographs. Come back with us to 1900's England and see the world through Horace's box camera.
