The Ice Caverns Art Gallery — Mountain Complex
The Ice Caverns Gallery was created with the purpose of presenting to residents of Second Life all forms of modern art in-world. It is dedicated to all those who were given the divine gift of aesthetically expressing their emotions, perceptions and ideas. We want to show the world, as real galleries do, and perhaps we can come together with them to promote the creative ability of these artists. We invite everyone to visit us !

He says: "By the end of the first day I had tried an intense experience and considerd Second Life much more than a simple game, it was a powerful way of communication.

Arianna Mfume
 |
It has been a few years since my last exhibit at Ice Caverns and once again it is a pleasure to be invited to display creations of art. Since that time a lot of focus has been put into study of various figures in the art world, mainly who've influenced art before the birth of digital. I've discovered a passion for impressionist painters who concentrate on rich use of color to showcase nature or everyday life. Because of this I have tried to incorporate an even balance of vibrant and dark motifs in my digital sketches.. |
| Landscapes, ancient architecture, animals and nature are often areas of interest. This exhibition mainly focuses on basic digital sketches, often inspired by studies in-world. It is quite fun to take these digital sketches and include them in some way with in-world photography. It is also a dream of mine to take these ideas and one day apply them to canvases of real life. Thank you Sunset for your encouragement, and thanks to all involved making this exhibit possible. Arianna Mfume lives in the USA. |

Cullum Writer
 |
Cullum Writer was born in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Cullum found the Second Life tool - snapshot - the pleasure of capturing and perpetuating the images that touch her sensibility with harmony and grace of their forms and colors. She interferes very little with the resources of graphic effects from programs, thus what is seen in their photos related to lights and shadows is the result of an instinctive ability and shrewdness in her eyes as observing landscapes and people. |
| Cullum has been exhibiting her works in some Second Life galleries such as: Ice Caverns Gallery, Yardley's Art, Studio Mfume, and still collects her photos in FLICKR: See Cullum's Flickr Collection Here. | |
Dacob Paine
 |
Dacob's original paintings are very complex, and may appear to the layperson to consist of a collection of meaningless swirls and loops. This is not the case, of course... Original works are created in many individual layers, which are then merged to create a final piece. Each layer is carefully designed and matched to each of the other layers, sometimes in aligned patterns and sometimes in deliberately offset orientations, so as to achieve varying effects. Each piece is unique and is specifically designed to make a non-verbal statement, or to convey meaning or relevance |
| through the use of symbolism and semi-symmetric parings of component elements. As all of Dacob's original works are based on transparencies, turning on glow can dramatically enhance and alter the image. Dacob suggets that ranges from 0.02 to 0.20 are best for highlighting his works. Dacob lives in the USA | |

During this study she had to practice all forms of art herself. She remembers falling in love with painting there. Dionne says there are two subjects that you can always find in her paintings: |
| 1. Ordaining chaos. Isn't our life like a fast running train? Those moments of reflection make a chaos in my mind. And painting that chaos, orders all that happens to me. 2. Feelings like happiness, tenderness, love, and dreams are a repeating subject in my paintings as they are in real life. Dionne lives in the Netherlands.

Elin Egoyan 
 |
Elin’s artistic life started about 20 years ago with a pencil, soft pastel crayon and her fingers as tools. After a long time ignoring her desire to draw (teenagers are busy with far more ‘important’ things of course:) she gave in and,… as she says, "was lost! as I really got the hang of it!" In pastel crayon she soon found satisfaction in making ethnical portraits. The challenge to make them almost photographic was inporant, and they came out as she liked. As a guide, she used photos as trigger for her abilities. |
"A look or expression in the faces, or simply how someone sat or did something was enough. I took what I found important and left out what was not essential." If you are interested to see these pastels they can be found at the ZRM Gallery. (see my picks). |

Georg Janick
 |
Georg Janick has been taking photographs since he was a boy, as well as processing them, first in darkrooms and now in Gimp. He was taught by his father, who was a professional photographer for for several years following the end of the Second World War. Since becoming involved in Second Life two years ago, Janick has been making assemblage and installation art, including curiosity cabinets, automata, and immersive environments. About a year ago, he began to import his photographs into SL, where he combined them in the form of dynamically changing photomontages. |
| By layering photos in semi-transparencies, and using simple texture-switching scripts, Georg enabled images to be superimposed spontaneously in random ways, suggesting a new medium that exists midway between still photos and film. He is now working in mixed media montage involving multiple images from "RL," video games, television, and motion pictures, all warped through different kinds of camera movement. His virtual installation, Saturn's Elegy, appeated in the Rinascimento Virtuale exhibition in Forence in October 2008, and is published in the catalogue for that exhibition. Georg Janick also founded and owns the Caerleon sims in Second Life which are now in the process of expanding into ReactionGrid. He created the Museum of Virtual Art on New Caerleon.

Gleman Jun
 |
After finishing his modelling studies at Second Learning (Italy) and some experience as a builder, he decided to completely devote himself to Art, the great passion he has shown since his childhood in Reaol Life. Fostered by the art dealer of Second Learning, Mr. Lion Igaly, he held his first building exhibition in "La Piramide" at the SL age of 4 months. The good results achieved on that occasion gave him the motivation to attempt this kind of activity. The success of his painting and sculpture exhibitions held throughout SL, in Capri, Venice, Porto Cervo, Milan, Salerno, Rome, NY, Paris, |
| and others lands, soon attracted the interest of many people. As a result, after few months, over 30 different artworks were exhibited in many galleries and museums. In January 2008, during his last period as a builder, he was fascinated by scripting (the art of abiogenesis) and texturing (how to restore fragments of RL in SL). At the end of February 2009 he had exhibited in more than 70 galleries and museums. ART STATEMENT In the dynamic effects of colors, lights and transparencies, he expresses his creativity in a constantly evolving and transforming himself. In his case, a work of art is composed of two different elements: Vision. Is the image that passes through his mind suddenly, it dazzles him, smothering him, praises him, leaving him exhausted and full of energy. The vision lasts only a few moments but it is clear as if he had shared with it a lot of time in the same area, the same substance. He can see the outline, the geometry and its absolute dynamics. He can smell it, he can feel the epidermal touch, the chemical sensation. It is the most beautiful and sad moment, because he knows that soon it will leave his mind like a breath leaves the body. TECHNIQUE: Is the experience that allows the memory to translate the vision into a “real” and shareable object. Gleman Jun lives in Italy. |

For me, says Vasco, "photography is a constant learning with no end in sight". Vasco says he is basically a street-photographer and likes to photograph people and their environments and culture, etc. Visit the followign Websites: http://www.myspace.com/vascolagopinto http://www.wix.com/vascolagopinto/homepage http://www.vascolagopinto.blogspot.com/ |

Joan Horsforth
 |
Joan was born June 1963 in a small village in the south of Netherlands, close to the Belgium border. Border villages are strange, open places and you cannot make a connection with even one of the countries surrounding you. Joan was destined to be a world citizen. In 1971 she got her first camera and started shooting. She had only one younger brother and felt alone in the family. As a result she concentrated fully on reading, studying, writing, painting and photography. In 1981 some dramatic events led her to seek a career in financial education. |
| She destroyed her complete works (photos, watercolors, books, comics and paintings) and since 1986 worked as a reporting and financial accounting specialist at a large international chemical leather-paint company. However in the evenings and during nights she still painted and studied on philosophy. In the business she was doing exceedingly well in small as well as very big projects. In spite of a successful career she realized this was not the path for true happiness. Eventually, Joan suffered a breakdown in 2004. Since recovering she is constantly on the road finding new ways to describe, explain, write, photograph, and design our nature and the arts, trying to bring all people closer to nature. Her motto: make other people more happy with her work. After some successful small exhibitions in real life, on April 22th her first large Exposition: "Behind Nature" opened in Second Life. In June 2008 she opened another exposition in Salimar, an Italian Holiday resort in Second Life. Joan Horsforth lives in the Netherlands. | |

Katia's career started, inspired by the Impressionist Claude Monet, but her desire to seek something new intensified with new artistic discoveries resulting in richness of the color palette, sometimes with abstract forms and sometimes figuratively. Katia's art work incorporates contemporary references with color, form, light, |
| shadow, mirror of water, reflections, sea, blue, green, stone and backgrounds as a counterpoint to the bold red and yellow highlights in her current expressions. All this is inspired by Impressionism, particularly the work of Vincent Van Gogh. Katia Rê lives in Brazil | |

Mik Frequency
 |
Being an artist is a lifestyle choice; Mik Frequency exemplifies this statement. Holding diplomas in both art and music, he has been allowed the framework in which to live this choice. Mik has managed to do this in his primary life, enjoying a career in music as a professional performer, an audio producer, and as a respected music lecturer at a University for the Arts in England. These commitments have offered limited time in which to fully engage himself in visual artistic endeavours until now. |
| Second Life has provided a highly stimulating and inspiring virtual environment with readily available access to creative supply as well as easier management of time and space constraints. This opportunity became real to Mik after being assigned to an experimental project on Second Life by his University. This became an intriguing and attractive portal to an unexplored yet familiar love. It opened onto a world of limitless possibility. Statement from Mik Frequency about the installation: ‘The Colour of Sound’: "This exhibition is an expression of my interest to explore the union of my visual and aural worlds. When I close my eyes I see colour in motion, involuntarily dancing across my inner panorama, in response to the sound I hear; bright colours in motion similarly trigger changes in my moods accompanied by internal sonic harmony. I have tried to capture this experience within my installation allowing an element of, to some extent, indeterminate interactive immersion within my world. There are sound loops triggers and sensors scattered throughout this exhibit; your presence alone will create a musical-visual soundscape that I hope will give you a few moments of pleasure. |

Paula Dix is a 22 year old art student from Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil. She works (most recently) at an art production agency in Ribeirão Preto SP, where she has lived for almost 5 years. Paula has been active in Secone Life for 4 years and still loves it. She says that Second Life has been fundamental for her own professional definition. She always enjoyed art and went into arts college even though she hadn't been at all active in the arts. It was in Second Life that Paula found that her favourite art tool is the computer. |
| Paula makes clothes, skins and loves to build, along with designing textures and sculpties, and she can't wait for the arrival of meshes. Only after working on the EIGHT OF US exhibit did she think about buying land in Second Life, and she did it saying: "I've found a marvelous land at the sim Minna, one of the first original 8 sims in Second Life." In that land there where psychedelic plants made by Soror Nishi and they came with the land. I didn't change anything, just added her own Garden of Colors which was already on a friends SIM made primarily with creations and textures by Sabrinaa Nightfire. Paula added more land and bought more Soror plants and is now adding her own creations. Go there to check her place at: Garden of Colors Paula's Paradise. |

Peter Okame
 |
Peter bought a second-hand computer which had a copy of Vue d'Esprit on it. "I'm a geek, and a curious one, at that. I sat down to look through this new computer, and found Vue, and decided to open it up and take it for a test drive. It was really, really complex to me. I put up a couple of trees and did a low resolution render, and thought, "Ok, cool…now what else is on this computer." I didn't go back to it for about two months, and I gave it another shot. I started playing with the color of the sky, and the texture of the water, and I became really engaged." |
| It wasn't long before Peter was spending hours in front of the computer, trying to figure the program out. "Basically, these programs are just virtual, three-dimensional workspaces that are set up to allow you to sculpt, paint, and compose. You can either import models that others have built, or you can build your own." His curiosity drove him to learn, having no doubt that he would have spent far fewer evenings cursing at his monitor had he taken classes." I'd recommend formal training to anyone who would want to try this. On the other hand, there's nothing at all wrong with being self-taught…you just have to be prepared not to give up if you want to get anywhere." Peter says his earliest journey into fantasy art began with landscapes, making surreal scenes. HIs two favorite science fiction authors are Frank Herbert and Arthur C. Clark, and many of his first pictures were based on what I thought locations in their books looked like. One of his favorites is a picture of The Monolith on Europa, from "2010". He also took a crack at some surrealist kind of things. I've always been fascinated with Magritte. While woeking on a project, Peter listens to music, reads many books and watches movies. "I'll hear something or see something and it'll just give me an idea….or it'll suggest a color scheme. I'll sit down and start playing. Sometimes, I'll have something specific in mind, and other times, I just play with shapes and colors and see what flushes out. I've had some success doing it both ways." Peter Okame lives in the USA. |

Pol Jarvinen
 |
Pol Jarvinen was born in France between the Pyrenees Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The movements of nature, particularly the motion of waves and wind and the beating of the human heart inspire his sculptural art. He also draws inspiration from his own dreams and from the poetry of the French surrealists, like Paul Eluard and Rene Char. In first life, Pol is devoted to the ocean , a fact reflected in the movement his pieces convey. In Second Life, he surfs his imagination to create vibrant sculptures. Pol’s early sculpture is characterized by a play of forms and colors, fluid curving |
| and intersecting lines and shapes that invite viewer participation. Over time his work has become more interactive. He plays with prims to make his thoughts and dreams become reality, interweaving a wide spectrum palette of colors and textures to achieve his "interior vision". He loves playing with transparency and with unfolding layers of meaning and personal experience. The viewer can move within the artwork, gaining multiple levels of meaning. Always surprising, often surreal, Pol's most recent sculptures use urban and industrial textures, and solid shapes that unexpectedly morph into fluidity. His most recent works engage both intellect and emotion. Some are humorous, tongue in cheek, reflective of a proudly crazy sensibility. Others offer social commentary. Pol's art is constantly changing, becoming more political, more nuanced, drawing inspriration from history, literature, and science, referencing diverse ideas from a haiku of Basho's to Galileo's recantation before the Inquisition. He deftly combines Illusion and allusion. And like Galileo, the viewer can say of Pol's work "E pur si muove." (Nonetheless, it moves.) Pol Jarvinen lives in Southwestern France. |

Pound Lunt
 |
Pound Lunt says "My art is mostly based on dreams or other expieriences I had in life. Sometimes dreams seem as real as reality itself, sometimes reality seems like a dream. I try to capture emotions, by focussing on them, creating an image in my mind. When i pick up a drawing tool, I just start. I dont know where I will end up — limited only by my imagination." |
| Pound Lunt lives in Germany. | |
Reezy Frequency
 |
The tears of joy and pain often sound the same. I've found this irony intriguing throughout my life and I encounter this when creating art as well. It's not unlike me to weep before a painting..it's not unlike me to dance with a brush in my hand. Craftsmanship and the ability to apply skills is important. But core creativity always takes precedence for me. For years in first life I was commissioned as a portrait artist. I've tried my hand as a business partner in the framing industry, as an interior decorator, a mural painter, a gallery director, and a teacher. |
| I'm happy now to be able to explore my need to create in Second Life as both a student and a participant. Art is healing, color is uplifting, and abandoning yourself to your own creativity is freedom. I found the magic in this truth by way of grief and my attempt to process it…the effects it had upon me and my art were dramatic. I've been fortunate enough to pass this understanding along and feel that this is one significant thing I've been able to contribute to those with whom I've had the pleasure to connect. So love it or leave it. It makes no difference as long as there is interaction and reaction. It's the sound of the tears that are important to me. This is me. My art is very personal. Thank you for the opportunity to share it. Reezy Frequency. |

Sakura2 Kohime
 |
My hobby is photography. Some time ago I joined a photography contest in Real Life. It was my first exhibit experience and I did not think to live as a photographer in Second Life until I met Louis Landon at one of his Secone Life concerts in 2007. He is in Real Life a New York jazz pianist . I present him with one of my photos and he told me it was amazing! Louis offered to let me exhibit my photos at his Landon art gallery. For me, that was really amazing. He played his piano and he narrated my photo exhibition at his gallery. (This site closed in 2008 when Louis sold his land.) |
I think that exhibit was a splendid experience for me. Whenever I participate as a volunteer through a photograph exhibit, I contribute the proceeds from sales to charity. It is my plesure that my photos can help others in some way. 趣味 写真撮影。時々ＲＬ世界でフォトコンテストに参加します。 [経歴] (☆：オークション実績） |

Victoria Messenger
 |
Victoria's art speaks of wonderment and the fantastical. Her work is an exploration of occult symbolism, meant to provoke spiritual questions about what are real encounters with the supernatural, and what is imagination. All the elements are woven together in a tapestry that reveals to us that if someone sees a scene in a composition of art that touches them psycho-spiritually and causes them to evolve, that it is as real as any mundane experience. And that gives the paintings life. |
| So the viewer in turn becomes as much a creator as the artist. Most of my artwork portrays the female as divine, powerful, and magical. Different Goddess archetypes, elements of witchcraft, occultism, spirituality, Santería, Catholic Saint iconography, as well as female power and emotion make an appearance in Victoria's art. The intent is to show the aspects of the witch, the seeker, and the magical in every woman. There is also a hidden layer to the world, a mystical layer. It is less obscure to some, but remains unknown to most. The mystical world permeates everything, and gives wonder and mystery to life. Victoria says, "I attempt to show some of the beauty and awe of that realm in my art, to let the world see what I sense. Victoria considers herself a mystical realist, and her art as mystical realism. "I use the phrase "mystical realist" to describe my world-view that colors my art-making, in place of a belief system or religion, and the phrase "mystical realism" to describe my art. I chose not to use "magical realism" as the word magical implies a bit of fantasy, and indeed much art described as such is filled with elements of fantasy, and I perceive the mystical to be an aspect of reality." There are a multitude of others, including a few artists, in the world using these two phrases, but in Victoria's case, they mean specifically the mystical world in relation to reality, and in relation to her art. Victoria Messenger, aka Victoria Champion in RL, lives in the USA. |

Since October 26th, 2007 my unique life is shaping in pixels... just from there I live here. I'm a woman, winged, replicant, atypical. I explore Metaverse flying on SL skies, my life here is interaction. My objective is to meet human essence in each of its faces. Each meeting is like a phantom feather that raises small grains of sand away from our souls..... to show us the best there. Each of my logins are told thanks to my "Ali di Pixel" (pixel's wings), on my "public notecard": http://zhoramaynard.blogspot.com |
| My creative-expressive path is evolved: first with a blogger, then with a"free verse poet" and now with a "prim-matrix". I define myself as a "prim-matrix": an author of "metaversal-feelings into prims". A work born when a story, a piece of lived-life contaminates my pixel-life. From there, meta-reasoning spiral let flow an idea that is regenerated into prims... my "creative acts" are sleights of hand to "impress in a prim" what dwell in my winged heart. My suggestion ? Click Fly button and think that: "Can fly high just who dare do it". My artworks: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zhoramaynardart |
