WE'VE MOVED!

INTRINSIC:
What does it mean? It is the value that we all have that we feel that we do no have so early in our life, as struggles hammer us down and pain eats us up inside and confusion takes over our minds. Intrinsic…it is the value of each one of us that can’t be expressed with a number, weight or dollar sign. Intrinsic Expression is what we all express simply by being ourselves. We all may not paint like Picasso or write like John Keats, but even if we pick up a paint brush or write a few words down on paper it is how we feel, what we felt in that moment and that is art OUR INTRINSIC EXPRESSION.

WHAT WE DO
We highlight the works of unknown artists and join forces, using our photography, paintings, poetry to express life.

Quote of the Day by Carl Jung

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Artists of the Week: Musician JMP

2006-04-04T18:35:00.000-04:00

The Exceptional Electronic Music Artist JMP

As I was out trying to find new artists with a new style, I believe I’ve found another, JMP. He is an upcoming five star rated, electronica/dance artist. As you listen to his music you're 100% sure that he is meant to be a Dj. He brings his own love of music across to other people. It is hard not to love his beautiful epic pieces, which work well when you’re relaxing or ready for a great night. Within the listening of only one of his songs he's merely managed to advance his sound to a position where musicians, composers, clubbers and fans of all kinds can appreciate his work in equal measures. JMP is definitely heading for the leader boards. JMP describes his music as having “an influence of Jean Michel Jarre and 80's synth pop in the early years. Plus film soundtracks and dance music in the later years, bringing a combination of dance and ambient instrumental theme tunes from synthesised sound hardware. First inspired and motivated by Jean Michel Jarre's Equinox in the early 80's to discover synths and explore their possibilities.”

Come check out more of his music click here:

There were always people like the pope. They serve a certain function, of course. They subsidize us. But, they don't create anything and they must never be allowed to stop the artist from creating.

2006-03-28T10:44:00.000-05:00

I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is
to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), O Magazine, September 2002

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of
others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.

It's All Relative written by T. Ginger

Has there ever been a real look at how we got to here? Has there been a scientist, teacher, or artist team that has ever been able to trace a concept (fire, E=mc2, the computer etc…) back to its earliest thought or possible conversation? Where did these ideas come from, and how many different vessels (organic and synthetic) bring them from mind to matter? I have been pondering this for two solid years now, asking people and looking up the meanings to particular words and symbols trying to trace to the smallest degree…What is thought?

I first noticed the contradictions in the outside world in biology. When I was mesmerized by how awesome our bodies are and the very chemicals it runs on, are so apparently susceptible of damage, that I had to ask my professor…”what are the chemicals that produce one specific thought? And, where are we sensationally different from other people if our chemical makeup is so identical to others?”...Alas, there was no satisfying answer for me. I had no idea that that was my break from the system and my faith in it. I felt that I was incomplete, without joining an activist group and such, to forever begin my quest as a human, woman, mother, nurse and student…

So, needless to say, there still has been satisfactory answers or stimulus from spontaneous creative thought. I have consciously been building up my research and discovered that there are many channels to outlet all the information I find.

I began to notice that when the appropriate data came to me, from whichever resource, I would have a realization very shortly afterward. It wasn’t until I slowed down throughtout my days to pay real attention, that I would find myself finding what or who gave me the right information for my growth.

There lies the tie to my questions from above. I was trying to intellectualize, create, and now, converse with you how and where does one concept come from? What makes it up and does anyone really care?

I know for a fact that the invisible forces that are conversation, karma, disaster, creation…etc...Is a large piece of the answer to these questions. I began to paint, then write a journal. Wwhen I noticed a block in flow of creative thought or communication, I panicked and found myself reaching outside of myself, desiring once again for human relations.

I found Intrinsic Expression purely out of chance (a force) and eventually my rapport with admin validated my place in my quest which gave me great insight. Then, I was asked to write to you. And this is where I ask you all the same questions I have asked our system, my significant other and the dictionaries of the world. I am once again at a standstill, hopefully in the perfect direction for filling the void of instability as a growing artist and mother. I can only know when Intrinsic receives acknowledgement of this column. And that is a perfect filter. For I have no more precious time to waste on the people who don”t really read or process the words they look at.

You can find me and my questions waiting here once a week with anything to share beyond this moment.

only in a tolerant society and that it often produces radical new ideas by

The Beginning of All This: An explanation

2006-01-31T21:58:00.002-05:00

I found myself sitting around wondering how I can bring together every single style of artists and combine them into a painting of it's own.

I am a writer and a painter, with a love for photography. Along with those I write lyrics, I play piano and uniquely I have a love for fitness. It is hard to find a similar person like myself, and I find myself bored in one to many conversations throughout my day. After sitting around for a few months I hit up the web. I started a web page first dedicated to my fitness idol Nick Auger. I am a young athlete hoping to one day be in the FAME competition. Nick Auger won the model universe competition at the age of 21 at 210 pounds standing 6'3". One day I wish to have that same win.

After that, I tackled another, I started Intrinsic Expression. The title explains itself, it's for all those who express themselves in their own way. Whether it be in a song they sing, a story they write, or a painting they create. I see the success of this website not moving at the high pace that i thought it would There are so many artists out there that do not get their work out there. I was one of those. But i find it horrible that i write something and put in a drawer that will one day just disappear and no one reads it unless it's my family that stumbles upon it once i'm six feet under.

All i am asking is for people to come together. In the end there will be poetry books, short stories published together in one book for thousands to enjoy, paintings side by side with the writings, photographers names imprinted throughout these books. Music on cds and lyrics sung by musicians. We as artists all connect. We all share the same intrinsic expression in a different form. I hope you understand what it is that i am trying to do here. If this all goes well you'll see what I have envisioned. Art shows held with musicians playing, and poet readings, it'll be amazing.

As a young adult I also find it hard to place myself anywhere. Where do i belong? I belong in the world of art, surrounded by fellow artists. Please join here, please add your work, please send your music, your lyrics. It'll all be surreal in the end.

Intrinsic expression...WHO ARE WE?

2006-01-31T20:04:00.001-05:00

Intrinsic Expression...WHO ARE WE?...FIND OUT HERE!
Hello fellow artists! I decided that it was a good time to let everyone know what Intrinsic Expression really is. It started out as just a way to connect to other poets and show others my art of writing with a visual experience. However, meeting other artists of all styles made me want to have a place where all art combines, and having a job that I love seemed like a luxury...

Music
Musicians, songwriters, and composers combine tomake music. It begins with inspiration and the writing of the music, the songwriter writes teh great lyrics and that combines to make the amazing final works. to hear from musicians who write music, write lyrics, and play the instruments, or even sing having their own instrument within themselves is an art in itself, and yet a splendid combination ofmany arts. The music may have been composed by what the words expressed, or teh lyrics may be produced after teh musci, being inspired by the composer. I welcome all of you talented muscians and artists!

Poets and Painters
A lot of poets are also painters or have many other talents or faces. Their ‘intrinsic expression’ is in their words and yet also conveyed within the works of their paintbrush. To see the end product of a painting with words within it as well as a separate piece from it is fascinating. My fascination has lead me to also contribute to this website a section where writers, painters, etc all become one, they are all artists. I invite all of you!

Photography
Another amazing style of art, there are so many photographers out there. However, a lot of their work is not being distributed or even seen by anyone other then themselves and a few friends. perhaps you've already had your artwork presented outside of your home and on a website. Imagine working with others and creating more talent, as well as more distinct art. We need you, I welcome all photographers, and I admire all of you.

The purpose here is to help all artists present themselves within the art world along with making money from it. Helping companies find them, and see them contribute to Intrinsic Expression.

In conclusion, my website is to help your work be displayed. Once it is on my website and enough people are set up and ready to go... we will watch and participate as well assist eachother into forming our talents. There will be shows held in local areas, readings for writers/poets with the combination of each of the multiple talents within Intrinsic Expression.

Remember if there is not a section for your style of art ...request it…however it could possibly be in the works.
