Raitman Art Gallery (Vail/Breckenridge) showed work by DD LaRue and Rolinda at Aqua Art Miami 2016.

Rolinda uses an oil painting technique of her own devising that she calles "Bella Rotta."  You can check out a great (and short) Youtube video where the artist explains the process HERE.

LaRue uses the doors from VWs in here work--well not ALL of her work but it is a reoccurring motif. These pieces brim with optimism; this is likely because they depict what appear to be happy, goofy dogs. What is more positive than a dog leaning out a window?

You can see more of her work at www.ddlarue.com.

Mayer Fine Art (Norfolk) showed work by Alexey Terenin and Richard Meyer at Aqua Art Miami 2016.

Terenin is a Moscow-born artist (raised in Prague) who studied architecture. His earliest foray into the art world was as a set-designer for The Bolshoi. It is fascinating how many painters, over many years, have a background in set design. His work often draws from Russian literature.

Meyer's work is usually historical social realism.  This piece reminded me of surrealism than realism but this , perhaps, isn't typical for the artist. You can see more for both artists at the gallery page linked above.

Elisa Contemporary Art (Riverdale) showed work by Amy Genser at Aqua Art Miami 2016. These two pieces are paper collage. The artist adheres the paper pieces to painted surfaces. They are textured and layered pieces with vibrant color you don't really get in a photo (taken at an art show).

They are intricate pieces with titles that seem to be more about the color than anything depicted in them--excepting, perhaps, the octopus one.

You can fined out more about Genser at  www.amygenser.com.

Lebo Studios (Miami Brach) showed work by David "Lebo" LeBatard at Aqua Art Miami 2016.

Lebo is a painter, sculptor and muralist from South Florida. He has showrooms in both Wynwood and Miami Beach. His work is in numerous private and corporate collections.

His website describes his art as cartoon expressionism and there is certainly something of both the cartoonist and the expressionist in the pieces shown here.

Jenny Green Gallery (Bend, OR) showed work by Alejandro Salazar and Jennifer Hirschfield at Aqua Art Miami 2016.

Salazar, from Mexico, lives in Northern California. Many artist's statements are complicated (some might say convoluted) but Salazar takes a different route. On the gallery page it says simply that he wants to honestly explore emotion in his  paintings, drawings and mixed media work. It is refreshing to see that genuine expression of an artist's goals.

Hirshfield, from the San Francisco Bay area, attended the University of Californa Davis. You can see the influence of the figurative painters from the area. Her work strives to connect with the people, animals and objects in the work.
