Peter Terrin: A Million Little Pieces

We all did that thing as kids where we sat too close to the TV and it drove mom mad. No, we didn’t go blind as she over-exaggeratingly suggested, but what we did discover millions of tiny colorful dots on the screen. Those dots are called pixels, and they work together as micro spots of color to create the broad image that we perceive as our TV show, our movies and our pictures. Your laptop, your smartphone - anything with a display screen most likely uses pixels to build an image. And not just screens. Pick up a newspaper and look very closely—pixels. Belgian artist Peter Terrin uses a similar technique to create his breath-taking paintings, and the result is remarkable.

Darryl Hurts: Dreams & Nightmares

Someone once told me that “it’s not what people say you are that makes you, it’s what people say you aren’t.” Some of the world’s greatest leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou and Albert Einstein were once considered losers, rejected and irrelevant, but they didn’t allow this to cloud their paths. They turned their pain into power and impacted the world with their God given talent. Many young artists and activists today have followed in their footsteps and contributed to making the world a better place. His last name says it best. Multi-talented artist Darryl Hurts expresses his pain, pleasure and life experiences in various forms of art.
