Richard W. Dempsey

(1909 - 1987)
Richard W. Dempsey was born in Ogden, Utah, September 14, 1909. His youth was spent in Oakland, California where he attended Sacramento Junior College (1929-31) as an art major and then studied at the following institutions: The California School of Arts and Crafts (1932-34) in Oakland, California; the Students Art Center (1935-40). He held his first one-man exhibition in Oakland, 1935, then headed for San Francisco where he held three exhibitions. In 1941, he moved to Washington, D.C. to work as an engineering draftsman with the Federal Power Commission. 

Dempsey also studied at Howard University in Washington, D.C. He studied sculpture with Sargent Johnson, painting with Maurice Logan, Raymond Strong, Katherine Gans, Edward Leslie, Sidney Lemos and lithography with James Wells. He also worked as an engineering draftsman for the US government. In 1946, along with Elizabeth Catlett, he was awarded a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship for a series of paintings of outstanding American Negroes. In 1951, he was awarded a Purchase Award in the Corcoran Gallery's Tenth Annual Exhibition.

Dempsey was a prolific painter and worked on as many as six canvases at one time, switching as his moods changed. His paintings were highly influenced by colors in his Caribbean environment, using them to express feelings of emotions and dimension. His sensitivity to colors was heightened by frequent trips to Jamaica and Haiti. With Dempsey, color, texture, and form unite in his later abstract paintings to compose symphonic poems for the eye of the beholder.

Photography by Philip Ross Munro

Philip Ross Munro is a graduate of the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris and has a background in Engineering from McGill University in Montreal and Digital Media from City College in San Francisco. Mr. Munro’s career spans more than thirty years and his current studio is a 4000 sf warehouse in the Design District of Miami Florida He is known for his paintings and photography of shadows, underwater figures and series investigating the human balance and perception. During the last twenty five years Munro has shot underwater images in natural bodies of water; using uncontrolled situations and everyday people instead of professional models. This production reveals the artist as a ‘Documentarist’: an observer of mind / body relationships to circumstance. He chronicles the nuances of human comprehension and situation, exposing sensuality in a delicate balance.




Brian Cattelle / Bare USA Project

BARE USA is a nationwide fine art photography project that delves into the study of natural beauty in contrast with man-made decay. This contrast is explored by photographing nude models in abandoned locations nationwide. Visit BARE-USA.comto learn more.

PAUL SOLOVAY

“South Beach Guys” by Paul Solovay
Paul Solvay (New York). Solvay’s Barbie and Ken Series explores and celebrates the once taboo alternative unions seen as an affront to the Ozzie and Harriet days of past.  A whimsical, yet meaningful the work evokes a lighthearted gaze into a harmonious world we all get to love.



Photography by Joanne Urban



Joanne Urban’s formal training began with film and the wet darkroom, she now utilizes digital capture and Photoshop in the digital darkroom. Joanne creates in-camera images with her assorted digital cameras and camera-less images with her flat bed scanner. Her work reflects the aesthetic of the traditional black and white darkroom processes. Drawn to detail, simple composition, texture and pattern, her imagery is a visual and emotional response to the commonplace.  In addition to producing her own award winning work, Joanne offers services such as custom printing, and photographic retouch and restoration. She also teaches the camera-less technique and Photoshop for photographers.





Greatly known for his erotic nudes, Ali Miranda’s work is often featured in both local and national publications, covering a broad spectrum in the photography field from commercial to fine-art. A native of the Miami area, Ali established himself as a photo artist in South Beach during the late 80s and up to the present.  He holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Arts College of San Francisco and also attended the School of Visual Arts in New York and Chicago. Ali’s work has been exhibit in various galleries and collected by art patrons around the world.
