Carlos Alberto Quintana Ledsma graduated from the San Alejandro School of Fine Arts and the Superior Institute of Industrial Design, both in Havana, Cuba. His works show the influence of paradigmatic artists like Julian Schnabel, Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer, and Martin Kippenberger. As a painter, Quintana’s pursuit of alternative paths to success has earned his reputation as a renegade “underground” artist. His pictorial works include codes and discourses, as well as an almost obsessive interest in bearing witness to the passages of everyday life. His tendency to use a palette of solid colors adds a...
Kristin Jai Klosterman is best known for her large-scale mobile sculptures and mixed media paintings. Klosterman focuses on the exchange between contrasting mediums as a means to examine the balance of power between the masculine and feminine.

Klosterman's sculptures are exhibited in numerous public forums in California, Texas, and Tennessee and in private collections domestically as well as...

His works are informed by the painting techniques of the Impressionists Édouard Manet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Tennant has taught museum copying at the Louvre and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His captivating paintings have been exhibited numerous times in the Salon d’Automne in Paris and...
Born in 1952 in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Rashid Al Khalifa held his first solo exhibition at the Dilmun Hotel, Bahrain in 1970, when he was just 16 years old, and then moved to the United Kingdom in 1972 to study at the Hastings College of Arts and Technology in Sussex. After returning to Bahrain in 1978, inspired by Europe’s great Impressionist masters, he began his own renditions of his country’s landscapes, producing a series of atmospheric paintings of desert, sea, and historical sites. These works were first presented at...
