Robert is an artist of enormous range and versatility, adept in many media: acrylic, watercolor, drawing, silkscreen, black and white photography, gicleé work and calligraphy. He has a long history as a designer for several notable modern dance companies, including the Chicago Repertory Dance Ensemble and The National Ballet of Ireland. In addition Kameczura is a noted scholar, arts writer and critic as well as published poet. Many people are familiar with a portion of his graphic work through his cover artwork for the late WNIB Program Guide. Indeed, it is not a surprise that he has been called "one of Chicago's Renaissance men" for his numerous activities in so many fields. With a degree in literature and poetry, Robert is a published poet and author, whose work includes several short poetic tales for children. Several of his poems have been set to music by noted classical composers, most notably Dan Tucker and Claudia Howard Queen. Kameczura is the founder of the Mythopian Artists' Group (www.artmyth.org), a group of seven highly respected Midwestern artists with an interest in narrative painting in a contemporary context. He has exhibited widely and internationally, in Japan, Poland, Ireland and Canada as well as across the U.S.

Itala Langmar Young Tulips Dreaming of Dancing in the Wind
Acrylic/Mixed Media on Canvas 16 x 20" $400
A painter since the age of six, studied in Venice, Italy, and at the Art Institute of Chicago. My inspiration is from nature. I endeavor to capture the fleeting beauty of flowers, the majesty of old trees, the melancholy of the waters of Venice and of Lake Michigan. I came to recognize my style as vaguely geometric. Always attracted to the golden rectangle and the golden ration, recently I have discovered its presence in the natural world. I call my style “geometric lyricism.” A lifelong poet, published many times, I started using lines of poetry in my paintings. They read as lyrics and as visual marks. My works have been exhibited in several one-person shows, dozens of group shows, and in prestigious journals and art publications. I am represented in many private American and Italian collections.
James Merriner Indigenous Dancers of Zacatlain
Color Photography 16 x 20" $345
James Merriner Happy Feet
Color Photography 11 x 14" $315
A former political editor of the Chicago Sun-Times, as a journalist and author, James has written five books about politics and history and published some poetry. He also sold some photojournalism before dropping photography. Now, in retirement, he has rediscovered it with a passion. "My partner, the artist Itala Langmar, led me to see photographs not as images of objects and people but as patterns of light and colors. I strive to shoot nature and people not as conventional “pretty” pictures but with novel perspectives that reveal something new. I believe in doing a minimum of digital editing. I never Photoshop. What you see is exactly what I saw and selected through the lens." His art photography has won a grant from the Wilmette Arts Guild and has been displayed at the Chicago Botanic Garden, libraries and community centers, and in Evanston.

Flamenco Wedding
Oil on Canvas 36 x 48" $2,500.00
I work in oils and watercolors, exploring the subjects that intrigue me the most; nature, time, and the creative process. My landscapes consist of scenes from my national and international travels. Some were painted on location and some were derived from photographs I took specifically to be used for paintings. They tend toward an impressionistic style. Through them I chronicle the intensity of that moment during which they are captured: the passage of light and atmosphere; the place where I stood painting and quiet while surrounded by the movement of people, breezes through the trees and clouds passing the sun; the rise and fall of the day's heat; the feelings evoked during a rarified time, in a place where I am confronted by vistas or people that are far different from my everyday experience. My portraits of dancers and musicians reflect my ongoing interest in flamenco and are a result of my contemplation of the differences between the ephemerality of music and the concreteness of art. A dancer's ability to take something that is as invisible as a sound and translate it into movement is an ongoing source of interest for me."
