1.Vere Lutter's photos make me view at the city spaces in a different way because
they are very big. They is a strange look and feel because of the intense contrast in
their black and white patterns. The images feel frozen to me and I am interested in her
compositions and points of view as well - sometimes they feel like frozen music in the
way the shapes float across the page of the photograph.

2.Mitra Ghaffari is an Iranian artist and I feel her black & white Collaboration paintings with other
artists are the best works. Their energy plus so many changes in the brush works, from wet and
soft surface, to deep blacks, to transparency, much variation. I want to put as much variation in
my own paintings and drawings.

Even though Stephen Greene's paintings are abstract, there is so much feeling within the combination of his colors, shapes, and brushwork. I think this is because of all the variation he puts into the works. Some areas are smooth like velvet, others look like liquid, while some shapes show the brushwork. I think his color is unusual with many kinds of different grays, off-whites, deep reds, violets, tans, greens, and orange too. I usually don't enjoy abstract painting, but Greene's surfaces really move and seem alive to me. They are emotional too.
