Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is thrilled to announce that Julie Denoncourt has been named one of four winning artists in the gallery's 34th "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. Julie will receive a month-long solo exhibition and will be featured on the gallery's front page, its YouTube channel, and in the Solo Art Series Archive.
Julie is an award-winning artist based in Ontario, Canada, and the gallery will promote her exhibition through an extensive public relations campaign. This includes press releases sent out to hundreds of major news outlets, along with distribution across LST's social media channels. Her work will also appear on the gallery's YouTube channel and on an event postcard.
The Solo Art Series runs monthly, spotlighting established artists who already have a substantial body of work behind them. To enter, artists had to submit three things: their artwork, an artist biography, and an artist statement. These were reviewed and judged to select the artists who would each receive their own month-long solo exhibition.
Below, you'll find Julie's artist biography and artist statement, along with five of her acrylic on canvas paintings. We invite you to read about her background and spend some time with her work.
Julie Denoncourt is a Gatineau‑based painter whose contemporary figurative practice centers on light, emotional presence, and the precision of gesture. An internationally awarded artist, she exhibits annually and pursues a pictorial exploration focused on the intimacy of bodies, the vibration of color, and the silent narratives carried by faces. Alongside her personal work, she teaches drawing and painting to youth and adults, maintaining a clear boundary between her artistic practice and her pedagogical approach. Her work investigates how textures, shadows, and fragments of everyday life reveal human depth.
My work explores the quiet, intimate spaces where human presence reveals itself through light, gesture, and emotional resonance. In my paintings, I focus on the subtle narratives carried by bodies and faces — those fleeting moments where vulnerability, strength, and interiority coexist. I am drawn to the tension between precision and softness, to the way textures, shadows, and fragments of daily life can expose something deeper about who we are. Through contemporary figurative painting, I seek to honor these moments of stillness and connection. Each piece becomes a way to slow down time, to observe the delicate choreography of relationships, and to reveal the depth that lies beneath the surface of the ordinary.

The gallery’s exhibition for September 2026 is the 16th Annual “Cityscapes” Online Art Competition. Both 2D and 3D, artists, from around the world, were asked for their interpretation of the “Cityscapes” theme by submitting their best representational and/or abstract art.
The gallery received 377 entries from 16 different countries from around the world, as well as from 22 different states and the District of Columbia.
The exhibition has been divided into two media categories - Painting & Other Media and Photography & Digital. Due to a limited number of entries in the 3 Dimensional category, those artworks have been included in the Painting and Other Media category. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the twelve (12) best entries comprised from all the media categories.
The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional.
All winning entries will now be featured on the Light Space & Time website homepage for the 3 months. Thereafter, the artworks and links to the artist’s websites will remain online in the Light Space & Time Archives for 5 years.
Congratulations to our artists who made our 16th Annual “Cityscapes” Art Exhibition so successful this month. At any time, we invite our winning artists and other interested visitors to link their websites to the Gallery’s archive page for further ongoing promotion.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that George Salter has been selected as one of four winners in Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's 33rd "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. George’s month-long solo art exhibition will be featured on the gallery’s website, YouTube channel, and in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
George’s is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning photographer based in Rhode Island, USA. The gallery will now promote him with an extensive online public relations campaign.
Promotion of George’s solo exhibition will include the distribution of press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will leverage Light Space & Time’s extensive social media network to promote George and his art.
George's work will also be showcased on the gallery's YouTube channel, and promoted via an event postcard, award ribbon, and certificate.
The “Solo Art Series” highlights the work of established artists, who have a body of work to showcase, through a series of online monthly solo exhibitions. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are George's artist biography and statement, together with 25 of his Omo Valley Collection photographs. All of the subjects are all members of the Suri Tribe. We encourage you to peruse his information and admire his art.
Over the past 45 years, George Salter's photography has added new layers to a lifelong fascination with beauty in unexpected places. Early in his career, light and shadow became a central preoccupation, with beauty revealing itself in the geometry and colors of architecture and marine vessels. Drawn to the lines, angles, and textures of architectural features, Salter transformed these details into subjects in their own right, elevating them beyond their role as fragments of a larger structure. This sensibility culminated in his first solo show, Architectural Abstracts, at the EG Photo Gallery in 1992.
Alongside this architectural work, Salter cultivated a parallel love for street photography, an art form long defined by capturing candid moments from a careful, unnoticed distance. That approach shifted fundamentally in 2024, during a trip to Bhutan, where photographing people without their permission is socially unacceptable. There, he began moving physically closer to his subjects — asking permission, building trust, and working collaboratively rather than covertly. As international photographer GMB Akash has observed, "getting close is hard. It asks for courage. It asks for connection. It asks for heart." In that closeness, Salter discovered something new: genuine personal connections with people willing to be vulnerable, to reveal something intimate, to share a fleeting moment of mutual understanding.
This shift redefined his practice. Salter's photographs now dwell in distinctly human territory — where eyes begin to speak and unwritten histories come to life. No longer simply a street photographer, he has become a street portrait photographer, traveling the globe in search of willing collaborators for thoughtful, considered portraits. This pursuit has led him to Cuba, Bolivia, the Philippines, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Russia, India, Bhutan, and Ethiopia, with travels to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea planned for 2026.
My street portraits are intended to be a celebration of different ethnicities around the world, sharing a glimpse into the way people relate to their surroundings through unique customs, foods, dress, music and art. Many ethnic groups are losing their unique identities, and I believe it is important to tell their stories now.
Faces tell stories. Meaningful portraits are collaborations between a subject and a photographer, with each contributing something essential. I photograph people who live in challenging places, where struggle is a fact of life, where joys and hardships are etched into each face. Eyes that reflect resilience are what I am trying to capture.
As a street portrait photographer, my attention is drawn to the individual. My approach is slow. I must break down barriers, alleviating fear and mistrust. I make eye contact, smile, and let the interaction develop naturally. I want to get to a moment of connection, of understanding, often without spoken language.
A portrait is successful when the precise moment of connection is captured in such a way that the viewer, too, can experience that moment.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Jason Shih has been selected as one of the four winning artists of the gallery’s recent 33rd “Solo Art Series” Art Competition. Jason will now have a month-long solo art exhibition, and he will be featured on the gallery’s front page, on the Gallery’s YouTube Channel, as well as in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Jason Shih is an internationally acclaimed award-winning sculptor based in Taiwan. He will now be promoted by the gallery with an extensive public relations campaign.
For this solo exhibition, the gallery will distribute, promote, and circulate press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will also provide social media distribution through LST’s broad social media network.
Jason’s sculptures will also be featured on the gallery’s YouTube Channel, and with an event postcard.
The “Solo Art Series” is a series of monthly solo art exhibitions for established artists who have a body of work to present to the public. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, resulting in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Jason’s Artist Biography and his Artist Statement, along with 12 of his sculptures. We hope that you will take the time to read his information and to take a look at his artwork.
Jason Shih was born in 1972 in Taiwan. In 1991, he began to specialize in metal sculpture when he was a sophomore in the Fine Arts Dept. of Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2001, he graduated from School for American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, and majored in Metal Sculpture. And then, he served as the metal sculptor Albert Paley's assistant, involved in crafts and public art work practices. Furthermore, he earned his Art Ph. D. from China Academy of Art, China (2015). Now, he lives in Taiwan, and consistently engages in the both areas of sculpture and public art.
Jason Shih’s artistic vision is shaped by a diverse array of influences, from contemporary dance to avant-garde fashion. He cites German choreographer Pina Bausch and British designer Alexander McQueen as significant inspirations. Bausch’s explorations of time and space resonate with Shih’s interest in sculpture’s capacity to embody kinetic energy and spatial imagination. McQueen’s innovative approach to contemporary imagery and themes provides Shih with a broad canvas for creative expression.
Shih’s work is also influenced by the aesthetic principles of Futurism and Constructivism, movements that emphasize dynamic energy and continuous motion. These influences are evident in his pursuit of capturing the beauty of movement and the elegant restraint of natural forces. Shih’s sculptures often depict moments of defying gravity, capturing the fleeting beauty of motion in a static form.
As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.
Sculpture is to interpret the beauty of light and shadow, rhythm and volume through the visual techniques of color, shape and texture. The qualities that the creators of sculpture pursue to touch people's hearts are actually as abstract as temperature and smell, but rich in profound penetrating power. This aura that directly points to people's hearts, and the aesthetic sense that makes people enter the drama in resonance, may also be like nostalgia, embodied in the nostalgia of seeing things and thinking about them, and the timid expectation of being close to the hometown.
Sea breeze, mountain mist, morning sun, sunset, in addition to shape and color, there is also the memory of temperature. Cooking smoke, hot soup, wooden tables, pottery cups, and the echo of the smell is the gradual tone of nostalgia. In people's daily aesthetic experience, the memory of temperature and smell accompanied by touch often becomes a kind of fuse to revisit the journey of old dreams. The work involved in sculpture creation is to "condense" and record all kinds of beautiful presence in this beautiful time and space in an appropriate way and with true emotions.
As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that Moti Bazak has been selected as one of four winners in Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's 33rd "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. Moti’s month-long solo art exhibition will be featured on the gallery’s website, YouTube channel, and in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Moti is a Ukrainian born, internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist based in Italy. The gallery will now promote his with an extensive online public relations campaign.
Promotion of Moti’s solo exhibition will include the distribution of press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will leverage Light Space & Time’s extensive social media network to promote Moti and his art.
Moti's work will also be showcased on the gallery's YouTube channel, and promoted via an event postcard, award ribbon, and certificate.
The “Solo Art Series” highlights the work of established artists, who have a body of work to showcase, through a series of online monthly solo exhibitions. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Moti's artist biography and statement, together with 15 of his recycled materials assemblage sculptures. We encourage you to peruse Moti's information and admire his art.
Artist Moti Bazak transforms discarded materials into evocative, often abstract works that reflect on the existential tensions of modern life. What others leave behind becomes his raw language—reassembled, “repaired,” and reimagined into new visual narratives.
Born in Ukraine and raised in Israel, Moti developed a distinctive self-taught approach rooted in the act of reclaiming and reshaping abandoned objects. This process—part restoration, part reinvention—remains central to his work today.
His art has been exhibited primarily across Europe and has received several awards. Moti currently lives and creates in Italy, continuing to explore the boundaries between material, memory, and meaning.
I was still a child when I had the unsettling realization—that something in the world was not quite right; that things, somehow, needed to be mended. Years later, this quiet awareness continues to guide my work.
In my art, I return to that impulse to “fix” by gathering discarded fragments of wood, metal, and paper—materials that have reached the end of their intended lives, abandoned and forgotten. Each fragment carries its own morphology and concealed presence; its colors, textures, scars, and abrasions speak softly of a past existence.
At a certain moment, these disparate elements—once unrelated—are brought together, displaced from their original context, and allowed to converge into a new form. Within this transformation, they begin a kind of afterlife, reassembled into a work that holds both memory and renewal.
This act of mending and reimagining is, for me, deeply grounding. It offers a sense of quiet restoration—one that I hope resonates beyond the work itself and reaches those who encounter it.
