Excellent Art 2019 - Exzellente Kunst 2019
This art book presents 31 artists from 19 countries on different continents. Most of them are award winning artists and finalists, others adequate guest artists. We encourage readers to choose any of the artworks in this book and, using our instructions for meditative art observation, deeply and consciously connect with it to experience the unique form of art-induced relaxation emblematic of our “Enter into Art” concept. Based on the visible, specific side of paintings and sculptures, and mostly leaving out aspects related to the artists’ résumés, we invite art lovers to try out this stimulating method of connecting with the artworks themselves. To accompany this excellent selection of paintings, some first-class international haiku poems are presented alongside them. Both original versions and English translations of the poems are included – reading poetry in a foreign language allows us to perceive its characteristic color tones, increasing its intercultural effect. The art and poetry pages give „Enter into Art“ artists the opportunity to present their artwork in combination with their own poetry. The printed book is available in the book trade and in internet bookshops. Hardcover: ISBN 978-3-96103-724-7, Publisher: Re Di Roma-Verlag, Language: English, German, Size: 26 x 21 cm Das zweisprachige Kunstbuch stellt 31 Künstler aus 19 Ländern verschiedener Kontinente vor. Die meisten von ihnen sind preisgekrönte Künstler und Finalisten, andere adäquate Gastkünstler. Auf den Kunst- und Poesieseiten präsentieren die Künstler ihre Werke auch in Kombination mit eigenen Gedichten.

Beverly Ashcraft-Johnson<br />
USA<br />
Beverly Ashcraft-Johnson draws viewers into a fantastic world of magic. Her<br />
paintings are dominated by constructivist overlaps embedding fragments of<br />
reality in a surreal manner. They are aesthetically pleasing and sensitive at once.<br />
Nobody knows where the narrative leads that lurks behind the often mysterious<br />
compositions and symbols. The artist creates something entirely new, using color<br />
as an emotional component. Her highly sensitive perception of color leads<br />
to subtly transparent light compositions and underpins her unique mysterious<br />
style. From a markedly surrealist perspective she seems to overcome time and<br />
space, and grasp the world through symbols and metamorphoses.<br />
Mehrdeutiger Bildeindruck<br />
Beverly Ashcraft-Johnson zieht den Betrachter in eine phantasievolle Zauberwelt<br />
hinein. Ihre Bilder werden beherrscht von konstruktiven Raumüberlagerungen,<br />
in die Fragmente der Wirklichkeit surreal eingebettet sind. Sie wirken<br />
ästhetisch und sensibel zugleich. Hinter den oft rätselhaften Kompositionen<br />
und Symbolen verbergen sich Erzählungen, von denen man nicht weiß, wohin<br />
sie führen. Die Künstlerin gestaltet etwas völlig Neues, wobei die Farbe ein<br />
emotionaler Bestandteil ist. Ihre Farbempfindlichkeit befähigt sie zu subtiltransparenten<br />
Lichtschilderungen und verstärkt die ihr eigene geheimnisvolle<br />
Handschrift. Aus betont surrealer Perspektive scheint sie Zeit und Raum zu überwinden<br />
und die Welt durch Symbole und Metamorphosen zu erfassen.<br />
