Spring has sprung!  Meet Ivan de Monbrison and Shelby Settles Harper, aaduna contributors featured in our upcoming Winter/Spring 2014 issue. Artist, Ivan de Monbrison’s work bristles with innovation, intelligence and subtle nuances.   His work requires a second contemplative look to appreciate how he easily juxtaposes diverse imagery into an elegant scene.   His work challenges and places you in the vortex of his imagination.   His latest works will grace the Kuta Gallery in the winter/spring 2014 issue and you will be able to observe how his poetry frames the visual acuity of his artistic projects. Here is an image from his forthcoming exhibition in aaduna : "eyes in the sky," Ivan de Monbrison, digital work, Paris 2013 (c)                                    ...
