Nico Heilijgers (Utrecht, 1964) graduaded at the Academie Minerva in Groningen, the Netherlands. His teachers were artists like Matthijs Röling and Diederik Kraaijpoel. To master the technique became a very important part of his work. The paintings of Heilijgers characterize esthetics, harmony and ambiance, herewith the poetry of the picture is always more important than the plane image. The paintings by Nico Heilijgers are very much inspired by the traditional way of painting, also in the choices of the topics. He is not afraid to wink at the art history by referring to prominent predecessors in the image. For example, in his Still Lives he is using subjects like fresh lemons, round pomegranates and pharmacy bottles. The subjects are painted in a way, where they don’t seem important as an object, but do function as color area or accent. Abstract values as form, rythm and material make the painting. In his latest work, the compositions are more simple, by using less elements and using some empty spaces. This way he creates more tension in the painting. The colors are more clear and the technique has a more loose touch.
Recently the artist is also painting landscapes and cityscapes.
In the cityscapes people and animals play a big part. The landscapes are more empty and quiet. The landscape is becoming a still life. With these paintings you can feel the admiration Heilijgers has for the impressionists. They represent the essence of painting for him, by treating the light the right way in the use of colors. Heilijgers works in his atelier in Utrecht.

Located in Signal Mountain, TN
A scene of distress is depicted in this work regarding Bob the Tomato, a primary character in the acclaimed children’s animation, VeggieTales. “God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!” challenges the formative life lessons we are taught from a young age that is not always easy to uphold. Based on a prophetic dream I had surrounding ideas of violence, familial relationships, estrangement, biblical references, revenge, and ultimately death, this painting begs...

Kelsey Seated, Arm on Mac - Original Oil Painting, Study of a Dancer
By Andrew S. Conklin
Located in Chicago, IL
A study for a series of larger paintings based on motion capture studios, this painting combines classic technique with modern sensibility. Here the seated model leans against an antiquated iMac. Upon closer examination, the preparatory sketch lines are visible on the model's feet and her forearm. Unfinished works were first seen during the Renaissance with Masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Donatello. It became fashionable to leave works incomplete, so much so, that it became an aesthetic term 'non-finito'.

Motion Capture Paintings, Chicago
My recent painting series describes the reality of motion capture environments by showing the interplay between female athletes and male technicians. These paintings are meant to explore conventions of female representation in Western figurative art and to contrast this past practice with the contemporary imagery of that subject via computer-based image technology.
This project was instigated by a number of things: first, by my abiding interest in depicting the human form in paint, as I find its versatility in a design, its invitation to empathy, and its difficulty, to be something worth attempting to depict with success. In addition, my curiosity regarding the new ways to depict the form using electronic technology seem to challenge to the traditional methods I rely upon, and I wanted to comment on the similarities and differences between the studios of the painters and the technicians.
In this way, I aim to continue my investigation into what I see as the contrasting quality of human nature, and symbolically represent opposites such as mind and body, analog and digital, realism and idealism, terrestrial and the transcendent.

Peonies in White Light - Oil Painting with 12K White Gold Leaf, Blond Female
By Michael Van Zeyl
Located in Chicago, IL
The blond figure, along with the floating peonies, combine to explore the dynamic between the eternal and the temporal, as well as our own relationship with nature. The gold leaf adds a three-dimensional softness as well as a glow upon which the female figure floats. Her skin is seductively painted; her teal dress falls off her shoulder; white peonies float by; the scene is set for a dreamy visual feast. The painting is framed in a gilt frame.
