The Dutch Touch Art: Hand-Painted Oils by CH Contributor
by Tisha Leung
Preserving the style of painting popular during the Netherlands' Golden Age, the Dutch Touch Art Company's newest collection of oil paintings celebrates the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of Manhattan.
Other reproductions and originals include both new and traditional subjects, like the full-size portrait “Marchese Balbi” and still-lifes such as “Cream Mushroom” (above left) and “Pear with Insect” (above right). Dutch Touch’s stable of artists utilize archival paint and hundreds of layers of brush strokes per canvas to recreate the texture, detail and lighting found in the originals.
Check out Dutch Touch Art’s website for their full collection.

Inspired by riffs, album covers, guitar necks and other musical motifs, Tim Bavington's latest show features 16 paintings of his ultra-saturated stripes and shapes that vibrate with synesthetic intensity. To create his luscious canvases, the Las Vegas-based painter visualizes the sound into visual color systems, using an air brushing technique to achieve a high-impact sheen.

Painter Dan Sibley
Painter Dan Sibley appropriates the Aboriginal technique of dot painting for his contemporary creations of idyllic luxury hotels and homes on fire, particularly resonant considering recent events in Victoria. The use of dots gives his work a computer-generated bent, while the bright colors are reminiscent of the pop culture art of the '60s and '70s and the absence of people in his fantasy images...

Like most obsessive interests that are artfully managed with creativity, Gibbens has been able to channel his work as a contemporary wildlife artist into something magical. Imitating the conventions of 18th and 19th century zoological illustration and traditional Chinese fine-line painting, Gibbens...
