Christian Schloe crea arte surreale, digital paint estremamente romantica ma con una punta di deliziosa malinconia come dagherrotipi ritrovati in un cassetto
Andrea Kowch has been described as “a powerful voice emerging, demonstrating a highly sensitive consciousness that informs a culturally-laced symbolism.” Born in Detroit, Michigan in 1986, she attended the College for Creative Studies through a Walter B. Ford II scholarship and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in 2009, double majoring in illustration and Art Education. Her paintings and works on paper are rich in mood, allegory and precision of medium; reflecting a wealth of influences from Northern Renaissance and American art to the rural landscapes and vernacular architecture of her native Michigan. The recipient of many honors early on in her young career, commenced in 2003 at the age of 17 with seven regional Gold Key awards and two national Gold Medal awards from prestigious Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Her acceptance into these juried national exhibitions earned her representation at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. in 2003 and at the Diane von Furstenberg Gallery in New York in 2004. By 2005 she was granted a National ARTS in the Visual Arts Award from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts (now the National Young Arts Foundation); an honor that ranks recipients in the top 2% of American talent. The winning entries were exhibited at the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, Miami. In 2008, Kowch received the Best of Show Purchase Award from the Northbrook Library’s annual juried international exhibition, and in the same year received an Illustration Faculty Award from the College for Creative Studies. Kowch has since gone on to receive numerous other Best of Show awards in various juried exhibitions of regional, national and international caliber, and has exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions at museums and galleries, including the New York’s RJD Gallery, The Muskegon Museum of Art where her solo retrospective Dream Fields debuted in 2013, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Jacksonville, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, ArtPrize, Art Basal Miami, the Los Angelos Art Show, ArtHamptons and SCOPE NYC, who in 2012, named Kowch one of the top 100 emerging artists in the world. She has also been featured in, and graced the front covers of several national and international publications including; Spectrum, Direct Art, American Art Collector, CMYK, Revue, Womankind (AU), .Cent Magazine (UK), Hestika (ITA), Hi-Fructose and Southwest Art’s annual competition whose winners take center stage in their Emerging Artist Spotlight issue. Kowch’s work can be found in public collections, among them the Muskegon Museum of Art, Grand Rapids Art Museum, Northbrook Library, Northbrook, Illinois and the Brooklyn Art Library, Brooklyn, New York and in many significant private collections worldwide. Kowch resides and works in Michigan where she paints full time, but also serves as an adjunct professor at the College for Creative Studies. She is represented exclusively by the RJD Gallery in New York.

Welcome to my shop of unusual and eclectic wall art decor for the discerning lover of new art. All pieces are my own, limited editions, signed and numbered. My digital art prints begin with a 3D or AI image, heavily edited from that point with overlays, textures, overpainting, adjustments, and added elements. There is often a strong bent toward the surreal, but along the way my work leans heavily on pre-Raphaelite, Renaissance, Flemish, and Medieval schools of art, as well as pop surrealism and other newer schools. The finished product has a modern quality while staying true to the older schools. Each piece is professionally giclee printed on sturdy Hahnemuehle fine art paper with great attention to detail. Giclee printing offers wonderful color fidelity and excellent image longevity. This print is 8 inches by 8 inches. It will have an additional 1" white border, which provides you with greater latitude for matting and framing. Most prints can be sized up with a slight increase in price - please message with any special print requests, as well as any comments (always welcome). The second included image in this listing is a reference image to show how these pieces will look when matted and framed. If you like this work, and have an Instagram account, please visit (or follow) me there at https://instagram.com/alisasmithwilliams/ I generally post new work each week to Instagram. If you see something there that catches your fancy, please let me know and I'll put up a listing for you - just message me. Thank you so much for supporting new artists through Etsy! I greatly appreciate your interest and support!

These surreal scenes by Christian Schloe feature bizarre moments that draw viewers out of a concrete reality and into a dreamy, fictional world. In his
A Big Blend Radio interview with artist Victoria Chick about surrealism: an art movement of the early 20th century.
The degree to which readers of a book or viewers of a film become engaged with the story presented has proven to be a key variable of interest for researchers of fiction. Narrative engagement is also known as transportation, based on a metaphor by Richard Gerrig (1993) who argued that highly involved readers are transported into the world of a narrative and experience thoughts and feelings consistent with this fictional world. Melanie Green and Tim Brock published a highly influential paper in 2000 that described how readers who were more transported by a story are more likely to be persuaded to adopt the beliefs espoused within it (Green & Brock, 2000). Now, a recent meta-analysis has aggregated all of the research on transportation published since this seminal paper, investigating the robustness and reliability of this phenomenon. The authors, Tom van Laer and his colleagues, were specifically interested in what storytellers can do to increase transportation by story consumers and what individual characteristics of consumers predict higher levels of engagement (van Laer et al., 2014). By averaging the results of 76 different papers (reporting 132 separate effects based on over 21,000 participants), van Laer and his colleagues discovered that a number of variables reliably increased transportation in story consumers. These included things under the control of the writer, such as the presence of characters that were easily identifiable, a plot that evokes rich mental imagery, and the inclusion of story events that seem both possible and plausible. Aspects of the story consumer were also important, with familiarity with the story genre, how much attention the consumers directed toward the story, how easily transported people are generally, higher education, and being female all found to be related to higher levels of transportation. This paper proposes an extended theoretical model of transportation and also investigates the consequences of transportation, all of which are described in detail in the original paper (available here). By aggregating across a large number of published empirical studies, this report greatly increases our confidence in the power of narrative fiction to both engage and change us. van Laer, T., de Ruyter, K., Visconti, L.
