Joanna Chrobak
Polish traditional painter Joanna Chrobak's work is reminiscent of gilded medieval paintings. The elongated limbs of her figures and the curve of the bodies creates a sense of regal elegance. The beautiful ornate clothing and the often elaborate yet strange backgrounds evoke a surreal dreamlike quality in her work. Her beautiful work is full of mythical and religious symbology which begs the viewer to consider more deeply the meaning of her work.

Deidre But-Husaim
Australian traditional
painter Deidre But-Husaim uses up and coming young models as her figure
studies then superimposes designs onto their beautifully posed faces
and bodies. The effect looks like
beautiful floral tattooing that enhances the innocence of her subjects as she
explores the idea of beauty myth and pop culture.

Atsushi Suwa
Japanese traditional painter Atsushi Suwa 's work is hauntingly beautiful. His realist style reveals his human subjects in intimate moments either together or alone, they give the viewer a glimpse into a private vulnerable moment in the lives of Japanese women. He uses a muted colour pallette which enhances the feeling of vulnerability and the fragility of the human condition. His work is moving, engaging and has real depth.
Suwa begins by probing and engaging in dialogue with his subjects under a set of conditions he determines. Through the dialogue, he elicits the story, thought, and other elements making up the subject’s background.The process of communication with his subjects is an important factor for Suwa, and signals a break from realism in the classic sense, which does not go beyond the level of visual duplication of the subject. http://marialaterza.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/rabindranath-tagore-atsushi-suwa.html

Will Cotton
US painter Will Cotton's work is delightfully delicious. It evokes childhood memories or fantasies, its fun and wonderfully playful. However in amongst the pink fluffy cotton candy and the pastel sweets are beautiful nude females in classic poses. The juxtaposition of the classic and delicious fantasy gives the work a sense of plenty and pleasure.
Cotton has focused on sweets for more than a decade, painting landscapes densely forested by lollipops and flooded in pudding. When he began to introduce women to the scenes, he cast them as additional ornaments, indulgences, male fantasies of perfection and availability. He populated his juvenile candyland paradise with a succession of delicious, idealized Eves. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2011/02/art-review-will-cotton-at-michael-kohn-gallery.html

Andreea Anghel
Traditional artist Andreea Anghel's paintings and mixed media pieces are raw and powerful. The figures she portrays confront and demand the viewers attention. We are compelled to look and truly see the humanity in her work, faults and all. Her figures are raw and exposed, yet profoundly beautiful and sublime in their complete disclosure. The use of black, white and reds on one hand, and contrasting hues on the other, evident brush strokes and expressive drips adds to the feeling power and vulnerability of the human body and psyche, making her work a deeply evocative.
"The whole theme of my work is based on the human condition and degradation...from sins to problems or simply human nature. I've started to create them when I was 16 and I hope to keep exploring these depths. To me, they represent not only a message to my viewers, but also an attempt at trying to see beauty in imperfection." ~ Andrea Anghel
