Richard Winkler (born June 26, 1969) is a Swedish painter and sculptor. [1]
Artist Richard Winkler was born in 1969 in Norrköping, Sweden. He studied graphic design and illustration at Beckman's School of Design in Stockholm. For several years, he worked as an illustrator for advertising agencies and magazines. In 1997, he moved to Bali, Indonesia, where he currently lives with his wife and two daughters and now works as a full-time artist.
Richard specializes in contemporary art that often features vibrant colors and light tones. His works commonly include rotund figures set against bright backgrounds, which appear in settings ranging from enigmatic landscapes to intricate floral scenes. These elements are influenced by his experiences living in Bali. Winkler has explored different techniques for representing the human form. This exploration has led to the development of a unique, expressive style. He is often associated with depictions of cylindrical human figures and vivid rice paddies set in Balinese landscapes.
Bali has had an important influence on Winkler's work. His earlier paintings were focused on the abstract lines and curves of the human body, in particular the exaggerated curves of the limbs. After his move to Bali in 1997, these became more and more human-like. In 2009, Richard had his 9th solo exhibition at ARTSingapore, where critics called Richard and his work the "star of the show." [2]
Winkler has also created three-dimensional bronzes. These artworks were exhibited for the first time at Art Bazaar Jakarta in August 2009.
Caspar David Friedrich was a German Romantic landscape painter, generally considered the most important German artist of his generation. He is best known for his allegorical landscapes, which typically feature contemplative figures silhouetted against night skies, morning mists, barren trees or Gothic ruins. His primary interest was the contemplation of nature, and his often symbolic and anti-classical work seeks to convey a subjective, emotional response to the natural world. Friedrich's paintings characteristically set a human presence in diminished perspective amid expansive landscapes, reducing the figures to a scale that, according to the art historian Christopher John Murray, directs "the viewer's gaze towards their metaphysical dimension".
Jugendstil was an artistic movement, particularly in the decorative arts, that was influential primarily in Germany and elsewhere in Europe to a lesser extent from about 1895 until about 1910. It was the German counterpart of Art Nouveau. The members of the movement were reacting against the historicism and neo-classicism of the official art and architecture academies. It took its name from the art journal Jugend, founded by the German artist Georg Hirth. It was especially active in the graphic arts and interior decoration.

George Clair Tooker, Jr. was an American figurative painter. His works are associated with Magic realism, Social realism, Photorealism, and Surrealism. His subjects are depicted naturally as in a photograph, but the images use flat tones, an ambiguous perspective, and alarming juxtapositions to suggest an imagined or dreamed reality. He did not agree with the association of his work with Magic realism or Surrealism, as he said, "I am after painting reality impressed on the mind so hard that it returns as a dream, but I am not after painting dreams as such, or fantasy." In 1968, he was elected to the National Academy of Design and was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Tooker was one of nine recipients of the National Medal of Arts in 2007.

Sterling Ruby is an American artist who works in a large variety of media including ceramics, painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, video, and textiles. Often, his work is presented in large and densely packed installations. The artist has cited a diverse range of sources and influences including aberrant psychologies, urban gangs and graffiti, hip-hop culture, craft, punk, masculinity, violence, public art, prisons, globalization, American domination and decline, waste and consumption. In opposition to the minimalist artistic tradition and influenced by the ubiquity of urban graffiti, the artist's works often appear scratched, defaced, camouflaged, dirty, or splattered. Proclaimed as one of the most interesting artists to emerge this century by New York Times art critic Roberta Smith, Ruby's work examines the psychological space where individual expression confronts social constraint. Sterling Ruby currently lives and works in Los Angeles. His studio is located in Vernon, south of downtown Los Angeles.
Romulo Macciò was an Argentine painter who was associated with the avant-garde art movement named Nueva Figuracion, which favored a new form of figurative art. Apart from Nueva Figuracion, he participated in another group called Phases. Helping pioneer the Nueva Figuración movement in the 1960s, these artists used figurative art forms to break taboos that constrained artists and their art-making, addressing important issues in Argentina and Latin America. After branching off from the group, Nueva Figuracion, Maccio would continue to develop his unique sense of art-making with an aesthetic of rebellion that would revolve mainly around social problems. He won the prestigious Konex Award from Argentina in 1982, 1992, and 2002.
