Tim Bell : Gour Art Galleries of Oil Paintings

Here is a short biography of Mr. Tim Bell , co-founder of Gour Art Studio and Artist who draws the attention of Oil Paintings lovers, Galleries and Art public in general.

Tim Bell was born in Toronto, Canada in 1973 where he was raised and educated. He graduated from Toronto School of Art in 1996 with a BA (Honors) Degree in Fine Art. From the onset of his professional career, the fashionable and trendy routes of contemporary and conceptual art, adopted by many of his peers was not an option. He chose instead to follow the more difficult and demanding path of figurative painting wherein clear concise yardsticks of competence, draughtsmanship and painterly skills can be measured and judged, warts and all.

At the age of twenty-nine, the result of his endeavors during his relatively short career has brought a considerable measure of success with his last four shows in London, Paris, Kuala Lumpur and New York selling out which clearly indicative of the public's appreciation and interest in his work.

Tim's paintings are concerned with the portrayal of strong and powerful images relying on visual impact as there is rarely any narrative. They are about capturing calm and contemplative moments, intimate exchanges, solitude, sometimes melancholy, heightened in their resonance by the use of chiaroscuro.

Tim's use of this technique gives a stark contrast between the light source and the often dark tonality found in his paintings. There is a stillness in the everyday themes which conveys a sense of inner-reflection. This is accentuated by the formality of his young self-engrossed characters and emphasized by the light and shadows reinforcing their emotional detachment.

His charcoal drawings, included for the first time in a Bellshow, are testament to his draughtsmanship; his awareness and acknowledgment of the prime importance of drawing and control of tone and to the peeling back of layers of paint thus revealing an insight into his creative process.

Ganesh Anjan

Ganesh Anjan was born in Bekasi near Jakarta, Indonesia in 1966. Having a father of strong caracter they moved to Calcutta in 1978 following the Partition. The trauma of the uprooting left its mark on his work as it did on some other painters of his generation. In 1989, he graduated from the Government College of Art and Craft, Calcutta. The next year he joined the Archaeological Survey of India to make copies of the Ajanta murals. After seven years, Anjan returned to Calcutta to work. From 1993 till his retirement, he taught at the Government College of Art and Craft. Since 2001, he has been a member of the Society of Contemporary Artists. The experience of Ajanta influenced Anjan profoundly and his works showed an innate lyricism. Anjan worked in many mediums and initially painted figures in landscapes. The mood was poignant. Gradually, he shifted focus to landscapes. A sense of nostalgia for a lost world pervaded these paintings. Eventually, Anjan concentrated on abstract renderings of landscapes.

Dots, dashes, lines became cryptic signs for trees, water, green fields. A refreshing interlude came when Anjan did some architectural paintings following a tour of the ruins of Gour Pandua in north Bengal. He has also done a number of commissioned mosaic murals. He lives and works in famous Gourart -Mayapur Studio, India and in his Home's Studio located on small village near Padova , Italy.

Oil on Canvas

He was born in Quincy, Massachusetts. A New England painter, graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1980. During attendance, Haque traveled to the University of London for a summer program and to a Boston University summer program in Wienna. Remembering his first stay in Wienna, he called this town a city where "one century rubs shoulders with another."

After the summer program, Haque then became part of a graduate program at the esteemed Villa Schifanoia in Florence, but perhaps more importantly, made a friendship there with classical realist Ben Long, who was painting in Italy at the time.

At Long's suggestion, he was enrolled in the respected Studio Cecil-Graves in Florence, where he learned to work in cast drawing, grind his own pigments and build panels and canvasses in the nineteenth century Parisian atelier method. After time spent at the Studio, Haque returned to the United States and Boston, where he found another mentor in Kadam R. Mishra, very advanced and unique in his style artist. Haque has always had an intense appreciation for the old Master painters methods implemented in new and fresh energy. His advice to young painters starting out is to study "the old Masters, but be careful not to let their spirit absorb your own."

For such a young artist, Haque's career is in full bloom. He has shown extensively throughout the South, Midwest and North of America, as well as in Canada and Europe. He is collected in the Hilstead Museum in Farmington, Connecticut and has a large private patronage. Strazzulla's awards include third place for painting in a student exhibit at the Copley Society in Boston in 1989, a Third Place Award for Painting, Sculpture and Large works Exhibit, again by the Copley Society in 1991, and a J. Gazzola Award for Excellence by the Fall Members Exhibit of the Copley Society in 1996. From 2002 he is living and creating in his atelier in Hawaii where he works on Ethno Emma Dancers Opus with Kadam R. Mishra as well in his own works of creativity .
