Ann Strassman is an American figurative painter working in Boston. Antiques and the Arts Weekly vividly describes her style as “expressive realism” that “evolves from an unforgiving eye which she has developed through experience. Through the use of exaggerated brushwork and dramatic tones she creates psychological tension. The vocabulary may well be German Expressionism and London school, but the vision is all her own.”
Such compelling thought exercises led Strassman to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where she developed the skills...
Pauline Couble studied applied arts in Paris from 1997 to 2002, first focusing on scenography and the architectural environment in her design training. She then discovered sculpture and synthetic materials and began working with resins and novel molding techniques. She is interested in collaborating with decorators to create unique lighting that illuminate the vast possibilities that resin offers in terms of shape, color, and transparency.

The narratives we tell ourselves across the world, whether it’s in Mexico, Kenya or...
Wonsook Kim arrived in America in 1972 and has since cultivated her practice of embracing a variety of media that includes painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. In her opinion, her artwork resembles prose and is suggestive of poetic entries in a symbolist or surrealist diary. It is through these virtual transcriptions that she engages her audience in mythmaking, storytelling, and folklore. A master of line, Kim complements her delicate imagery with composition and the observance of light. Figures and ground are thus often...
