race we run, we should always run it to win the prize and
respect our competition.

BIO - GLEN TARNOWSKI
|
| G.Tarnowski
is the creator and founder of Modern Allegories... An
art manner he coined and established to represent the
use of common contemporary elements, placed in unnatural
positions, on the canvas, to weave an unique visual story,
to engage the view to delve deeper and read the signi?cance
of the artwork. Tarnowski executes his own interpretation
of the old Masters, who used religious and recognized
everyday symbols to express a deeper and meaningful life
message. Tarnowski, uses Whimsical, Paradoxical and Inspirational
themes to speak to a deeper profound message. Unlike Surrealism,
which in many cases has a dark and mordbid intent, Modern
Allegories employs humor, contradiction and absurdity
to reveal a more personal, uplifting and encouraging message.
It will never have a dark, macabre, or negative theme.
From a childhood immersed
in the beauty of nature, a youth surrounded by the classical
sense of Renaissance-era European art and architecture,
and a lifetime devoted to art as the highest form of expression,
Glen Tarnowski brings stunning vitality, depth and emotion
to his still-life paintings.
Influenced by an intense
formal education in art, pain-staking study of the works
of Old World Masters Rembrandt Van Rijn, Peter Paul Reubens
and Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin, and ongoing study
with contemporary masters David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw
and Dan McCaw, Tarnowski’s use of Chiaroscuro (Italian
for clear-dark - it is a term in art for a contrast between
light and dark) techniques
provide his still-lifes with a vibrant dichotomy of old
world feeling and contemporary realism.
His formal education in
oil painting began at the age of eight when his innate
talent for painting and unique perception of color revealed
itself in his first art class. He continued his formal
art education at California Lutheran University and The
Pasadena Art Center College of Design, separated by extensive
self-study in the art capitals of Europe. He later returned
to California Lutheran University to teach painting.
Tarnowski's Modern Allegories
has found wide acceptance in permanent collection in numerous
major art museums:
The National Art Gallery of Australia,
The National Art Gallery of Victoria, Australia.,
Coral Springs Museum of Art,
Boca Raton Museum of Art,
Aspen Museum of Art,
Brooklyn, New York Museum of Art,
MOCA Hot Springs AR,
University of California Dominquez Hills,
The Biblical Arts Center-Dallas, Texas.
Published artist with articles
with a national audience: Artist Magazine, Pulse Magazine,
Art World News, Art Business News. Receipent of the Angel
Award for Best Ethical Artwork from The Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences.
He was the recipient
of the 1996 Angel Award from the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (equivalent
of the Oscar) for Best Motion Picture Graphics for the
film 'The Pale Rider' in 1996, a finalist in the
1997 Artist Magazine International Competition, the 1998
Oil Painters of America National Show in Washington, D.C.
and the 1999 Oil Painters of American Regional Show in
Chicago, Illinois. He was also the featured artist in
