Verlaeckt Clark has been a sculptor since the 70’s, firstly in clay, then stone; while in the USA she added fused glass artist to her accomplishments. Verlaeckt Clark worked under the tutelage of a master carver in Italy and exhibited, both with, prestigious art societies and in numerous London Art Galleries. Angela was admitted to the Library and Archives of the National Gallery of Canada in 2003. Verlaeckt Clark’s abstract sculptures are Zen in feeling, reflecting a personal interpretation of earth’s rhythms. Her fused glass ‘Art’ jewellery, hangings and, now fused glass sculpture, combined with stainless steel is a testament to the colourful, exuberant side of her personality.

Michel Luc Bellemare or simply "Michel" in the artworld. The work revolves around color and pure abstraction painting, i.e. the limits of painting and what pure abstraction art is. My artwork is housed in the national gallery of canada, the art gallery of ontario, the national arts center, the national library of canada, the art gallery of winnepeg and the canadian museum of civilization. I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy specilizing in visual arts, along with an M.A. and B.A. in cultural studies. I am of french metis aboriginal descent and I am a professional abstract artist on a full time basis. According to my philosophy of color and art, "color is as real as reality gets" and pure abstraction painting is at the limits of art, there is nothing more abstract and sublime then pure abstraction painting. My aim via pure abstraction painting is to revolutionize the way people see, think and interprete pure abstraction art. There is nothing more objective and of the world as pure abstraction painting. Pure abstraction painting is realism par excellence. Hence why have labeled my philosophy and style of pure abstraction painting as color-realism. As "color is as real as reality gets. Color is the language of human emotions, and color is the basic element that allows us as human beings to think and to house concepts in our minds. We cannot think of a square without color in our minds. it is impossible to think of a colorless square with our minds. As a result of this fact, color is the structure of our basic concepts". And pure abstraction painting is the means of communicating with this transcendental structure. Pure abstraction painting is the fundamental means of influencing the collective unconscious.
