| Ray Cabarga, bored to disruption of the public school system, spent much of his childhood staring at the sprayed foam insulation on the classroom ceiling. finding a vehicle for his imagination in the chaos and thus beginning his lifelong passion for the aleatoric. As an adult he uses traditional mediums in unconventional ways to create chaotic underpaintings called oozings to which he adds ink to accentuate the endless forms and figures his paint creates all by itself. His latest body of work called "inked oozings" is a realization of his childhood dreams. Dreams he would not have had if not for his many boring teachers.. Read Ray's recent rhapsody regarding random rendering |

When we first looked at
the Hydro-Form collection
created by
Andrew Schrock
we thought we were
looking at just another
metal sculptor... we were
quite wrong, and found
that out when we viewed
the video at left. When you
decide to make a mylar
balloon out of heavy sheet
metal, and actually inflate
the thing with water
pressure (or explosives?)
to see what it grows up to
be... you are barking right
up our tree.
See the collection at his
website and by all means,
do not try this at home!

Through the influence of both eastern and western
cultures, philosophies, and practices,
Ted Lincoln creates paintings that explore the
transitory nature of landscape. Drawing from his
background and experience in eastern culture he uses
industrial materials such as steel, aluminum, acids, and
automotive enamel to create landscapes that
simultaneously feel strong and illusive. The austere
nature of his materials are softened and rendered into
contemplative spaces. Click the image at left for his

| Where Robert Venosa's creative energy comes from when creating his mind boggling paintings is anyone's guess... when an artist like this surpasses perfect realism and continues beyond the known, far into a realm never before imagined, we are speaking of transcendent technique. Find out what fans from Dali to Santana say about the great Venosa at his website Salvadore Dali once wrote: "Bravo Venosa, pleased to see spiritual madness painted with such a fine technique." |
Cadillac Honoree Nicola Parente recieved The Cadillac Spirit Award for 2011...
Born in Italy, Parente draws from his rich Italian heritage and a deep well of cross-cultural experiences to
bring his art to life. Working in a variety of media, he engages the viewer in dialogues of human
encounter within the urban environment. Inspired by changes in metropolitan communities, his art
defines the intersections of daily urban life and timeless multi-cultural celebration. His paintings capture
the fluidity and static elements of the urban matrix, referencing the architectonic images, reflections, and
rhythms of its landscape. See his website

| Bond- James Bond. Really, that's his name. But he is no secret agent- JB is a fine art blacksmith, and the first one we have seen who throws white hot metal into freezing water just to find out what happens. His Arp-like collage assemblies, made of a variety of discarded metals, are beautiful inventions of controlled chaos that seem to float on the wall in spite of their weight. Hand forging and power hammer techniques are utilized to achieve the various shape and textural qualities within the work, and the gorgeous finishes are attained through the traditional forging process and various oxidizing heat treatments he uses in his Wyoming studio. Look for this artist to gain recognition on the international art scene, and see new works at his website. |

Fung Kwok Pan is a rare combination inventor, scientist, and artist who
uses the algorithms of accidents, the nuances of nature, and the formulas of flukes
the way a mason uses mortar to create interfaces for intimate interaction with the
laws of physics. By demystifying processes such as phyllotaxis (plant structures)
and triangulation (golden rectangles) he opens new doors for the creation of
aleatoric art, and his concepts span an even broader scope of applications. Finding
the intrinsic beauty in failure, Fung Kwok Pan epitomizes the Eastern philosophy
which equates disaster with opportunity. But his work is unique in that his
inventions make the creative process available to all by way of the worlds first
interactive aleatoric art generators.

| Among the basic processes for inventing chaos is, of course, destruction. Nothing does it better than fire, and at the hands of Jeff Derose, the devastation is beautiful to watch. Wildly creative sculptures, photography, installations and video art created with plenty left to chance will take you on a journey from birth to the absolute end of being- a voyage captured by Deroses intuitive eye, a passion for what comes next and a strong will to be in control of it all. |

Allan Rodewald's experimentation and versatility with a wide
variety of traditional and cutting-edge artistic techniques, styles and
mediums coalesce to sire yet a new take on aleatoric art. A kind of
choreographed chaos or directed entropy make his brand of aleatoric
abstraction both accessible to the uninitiated while permitting him to
stretch further than pure aleatory alone. By slightly narrowing the
gamut of possibility, Rodewald reveals a delicate serendipity that
unbridled pandemonium would obliterate, once again illustrating that
freedom is appreciated only relative to that from which it is free.

| Mark Weber " ... Special Intentions is a group of oil paintings on paper. My ‘intention’ is that something in each of these paintings will relate to you on a personal or universal level, and that you will find these paintings to be both spiritual and hopeful. They are intended to encourage thoughts about the journeys each of us are involved in, rather than offering answers or telling a specific story or narrative...." READ MORE |
| Perpetuating the legacy of chance... AleatoricArt.com is an online magazine and gallery of artists who allow the laws of physics to guide their creative vision, seeking out art born of natural causes and daring to leave some things purely to chance. By developing a deeper understanding of the forces that govern our universe, these courageous innovators have discovered unique ways of collaborating with nature to produce some of the most beautiful and compelling images in the world of contemporary art. Thirty one talented individuals representing a variety of genre have gathered to form a collective known as MAMA, the Movement of Aleatoric Modern Artists, a nod to the Dadaists of the early twentieth century who made liberal use of accidental methods when composing great works of art. The AleatoricArt gallery was created in 2009 to entertain and educate art lovers about the element of chance in fine art history, and to inspire students and emerging artists to discover and enjoy the same freedom from the confines of accepted artistic methods that the use of chance represents. The group is working together on ways to promote their new ideas and processes, which utilize today's techniques, materials and technology combined with ancient aleatoric means and controlled chaos. We hope that you will enjoy exploring our tremendous catalog of art by selecting the links below. Thousands of works by our masters of chance can be purchased directly through their websites. Much of the art you will see in these pages is also available through the Corporate Arts Program. Contact us |
Sam Shendi is an Egyptian sculptor, educated at
Cairo University and winner of the Egyptian Universities
Competition and Young Artist Cairo. Shendi's work has
been exhibited in numerous countries throughout Europe
and the Middle East. Sam's modern approach to his
Dadaist influences demonstrates an old-school philosopy
with a futuristic feel. In a recent interview, Shendi reminds
us to keep in mind that Dadaism spawned in the time of
war and war still exists in our time, adding how this has
had an impact on his work. See more at his website.

"... First I need to find the piece of rusty iron, and from there
establish a conceptual and formal dialogue with the found
object . I try to capture the energy of the single piece (which is
unique, because no iron is oxidized in the same way) and send
it to the universe of my cultural references. Then there is a
kind of symbiosis- I do the work but the work itself inspires
me. It's like a covenant between the person and matter, a
covenant that respects my humility being that perhaps the
only talent that the artist has is the ability to recognize all that
is beautiful and expressive, and how time relates to the
mysterious forces and beauty of Nature, the best artist I
know...
