Stephs Magic - OZLAND's Artist of the Month for August 2009

The OZLAND Art Gallery welcomes Stephs Magic, a RL Photographer.

Living and working in Germany, Stephs Magic has always enjoyed expressing his creative side in many forms and facets, ranging from photography, computer generated imagery and digital painting, to being an amateur magician.

The "Big Apple" is the subject for his first B&W SL photographic exhibition. The urban landscape of New York City is its inspiration, and the theme is contrasts: old/new; light/dark; soft/hard; artificial/organic; curved/rectangular – where ever you look in this set of images you find dichotomies. He shows us a city that seeks to harmonise these contrasting elements in its open spaces and public landscapes.

Balancing the stark B&W contrasts of the Urban Cityscapes Stephs introduces his Garden Macro collection, which shows nature in its colourful splendor from unusual angles and distances.

Make sure you grab the FREE gifts that Stephs has made special for this exhibit, and enjoy his Photographs!

Josina Burgess, OZLANDs Artist of the Month for July 2009

Josina Burgess, OZLANDs Artist of the Month for July, has studied at Famous Artists Schools in America then decided to become a ...singer..

During her years of traveling as a singer she continued painting and drawing. Her work has many facets. Feelings and impressions, sometimes subtle, but also powerful and above all the use of bright colors are specific for her art. Non-figurative, abstract as well as figurative paintings, explosions of color, gold and bronze, memories and feelings are telling their story.

Josina uses mixed techniques she developed herself. With acrylics she has developed a very personal style. Abstracts, flowers and landscapes are recognizable with her free expression. Josina's exhibit in OZLAND is featuring her Gouache Paper Artwork... Gouache is an opaque watercolor paint that can be applied in solid colors. Composition, technique, colors and shape have given an extra dimension to her paintings.

Josina likes her paintings to be "beautiful", not boring, and always a pleasure to look at.

Check out the LM, grab the FREE outfits that Josina has made especially for this exhibit, and enjoy her most unusual artwork!

Alba2 Rossini - OZLAND's Visiting Artist for June 2009

June's exhibition features paintings based on the motifs found in Tarot Cards by Alba2 Rossini. The originals are painted in oil on board. At present there are 14 paintings in the series, the latest being completed just before the exhibition.


Here is what Alba has to say about herself.

Hello, in SL I am known as Alba2 Rossini, Alba is my name in the art world. I live and work in Turin, where I completed my studies at the Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts.

I spent part of my life between the United States and Venezuela. During my stay in Venezuela, I worked as a designer in the graphic and advertising department of a large North American company. This experience along the tropical environment influenced lot about my vision of color and composition and were significant in my artistic maturation.

I paint mostly with oil colors because I like the stickiness and brightness of this medium, so that I can play with brightness and volume, but I do not disdain other media such as acrylic or pastels
