Art of Nicola Verlato

in , ,

"Specializing in fusing Americana, popular imagery, and traditional painting techniques, Nicola Verlato is best known for his highly refined allegorical surrealism that recalls the murals of Thomas Hart Benton and the heightened drama of 17th-century Italian baroque paintings. Featuring spectacular light effects, twisting nude figures, and dense compositions, Verlato’s work depicts a dark future that recalls a mythological past. In 2012, he represented Italy at the Venice Biennale with a series of sculptures and paintings, the latter recalling apocalyptic altarpiece panels." via Art.sy

Christy Lee Rogers

in , , ,

"Christy Lee Rogers is a self-taught photographer from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio." As stated in personal bio, not sure what to do with Caravaggio or copywriter there but her photography is definitely worth to see.

Art of Robin Eley

in , ,

”My paintings are essays of observation, born from a relentless examination of my mileu. Rather than shout, my paintings speak softly. Their messages, both personal and profound, audible only to those who make the effort to listen. By documenting time, I attempt to slow its quickening pace; such that for the briefest of moments there is just the viewer, my painting and the space between.” — Robin Eley

Quote Illustrations by Evan Robertson

in , , ,

New York-based graphic designer Evan Robertson takes the cleverest lines written by his favorite writers such as Oscar Wilde and Ernest Hemingway and turns them into brilliant literary posters. “I took little snippets of text and ideas from some of my favorite authors (with some notable exceptions that I’m saving), and let the words be a springboard for an illustration. The illustrations incorporate and interact with the text and hopefully add up to something that engages the mind as much as the eye.”

Evan has a plan to complete around 50 illustrations in a year. He has already completed 24, which you can see in his Etsy shop. via Demilked

Latvian art group KUT appears to be an instant magicians to bring a new forecast to the city of Riga "We brought the country to the city. To revive the grey concrete, to break the routine and give you a moment to reflect on what we are and where we are going. Sometimes surprises just happen and we have no influence over them but we do have influence over our perception. How ready are you to accept whatever life throws at you with a smile?"
