Elena Ksanti and the Power of Abstract Expressionism

The Editors

Elena Ksanti is a contemporary artist who specializes in abstract expressionism using the "fluid art" technique. Ksanti constructs her art pieces highlighting the duality of our planet and the disparities held within: Light and Dark; Yin and Yang; Good and Evil; Love and Hate; Happiness and Sorrow, etc. Ksanti views life as a world of contrasts, emotions, and possibilities. Touching on these topics and the gray areas in between, the artist actualizes these sentiments onto canvas for individual interpretation.

Celebrating 50 Years of Artist Llyn Foulkes’ Unvarnished, Unapologetic Vision

Nancy Lackey Shaffer

Ever the maverick, Foulkes was not content to stay with this format, however popular. While he would reference his rock paintings in future pieces, he took a dramatic turn with his “Bloody Heads” series—although “obscured heads” might be a better descriptor. Portraits with faces obstructed by bright red, blood-like strokes or symbolic objects (a doctor’s head, for example, has an X-ray superimposed upon his face, while a geometry teacher has a triangle) are jarring in their juxtaposition of the macabre with the mundane.
