Art of Tracy Lewis

March 14, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Illustration, Portfolios, USA, 2016

Awesome Californian artist working mainly in watercolours, meet Tracy Lewis (Instagram) and her fairy tales

For almost twenty years I’ve lived in the Sierra Foothills. My home has a tree house view of the world that has made nature an integral part of my life and my art. The metamorphosis of seasons and the cycles of life and death are reoccurring elements. A collection of curiosities, along with my love of fairy tales, Art Nouveau and Old Hollywood Glamour have also found their way into my art.
I paint primarily in transparent watercolor, layering luminous glazes of pure hue to give everything a candy coat of Easter-like color.

Art of Brooklyn Whelan

March 08, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Australia, Portfolios, 2016

Born and raised in Sydney, Brooklyn Whelan is one of Australia’s best emerging contemporary artists. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, his style is strongly influenced by weather patterns, his days of writing graffiti and “future type shit”.

As an artist, I work hard to develop my paintings that speak both to me and to others about the beauty and power that exists within weather patterns. I constantly find myself staring into oncoming storms. I do not merely want to capture the image with my painting; rather, with strong bold strokes, I want to give it life and energy, also the sense of fantasy that one might see in an 80’s sci fi - Powerful electricity, but with a tone of grace, softness and movement.

Art of Alex Garant

March 03, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Canada, Portfolios, 2016

Queen of Double Eyes, Alex Garant (Instagram) is hailing from Quebec and now basing in Toronto. Her alla prima oil paintings offer a graphic quality combined with traditional portrait techniques. Garant uses patterns, duplication of elements, symmetry and image superposition as key elements of her imagery. Alex Garant's paintings are not far from a perfect optical illusion: her protagonists trying to escape themselves, almost possessed by a distinct version of their own individuality, an exorcism of the soul.

Wall Excavation by Daniel Arsham

February 29, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, USA, 2016

For his latest installation ‘Wall Excavation’, artist Daniel Arsham (previously) carved out large holes into faux-concrete walls at the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, USA. Visitors can experience the artworks through the 300-foot long wall installation to engage with their surroundings in a new context. Additionally, the repetitions of carvings create a human-like silhouette, illustrating Arsham’s motivation to explore “mankind’s place in history” with the artwork.

“These select sculptural works and this installation explore the interaction between mankind and architecture, and draw particular attention to man’s capacity for creating, destroying and repurposing manmade and natural materials both historically and contemporaneously.”

"Felipe Pantone’s work is at the cutting edge of street art. Straddling conventional graffiti, typography and abstraction, his work fuses bold elements of graphic design with highly evolved geometric shapes to create an ultra-modern aesthetic which complements and reacts with the stark modernity of our cityscapes.Drawing on our concerns of the digital age and the speed at which technology is developing, Pantone’s art is like looking several light years ahead into the future and discovering a new language in which to communicate."

Dazzle Room by Shigeki Matsuyama

February 23, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Japan, Portfolios, 2016

"Dazzle camouflage was a painting used for warships in World War I, when radar technology did not exist. It made it difficult to identify a vessel as well as its heading and speed. The person in the room hides her face with sunglasses, repeats reception and transmission with a smartphone in her hand. Dazzle camouflage that conceals form and direction of a warship is a metaphor of deviation in modern society. Transmission is expressed by painting on human, and reception by the world she sees." says artist Shigeki Matsuyama about her installation "Dazzle Room"

Hyper realistic art of Bronwyn Hill

February 17, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Australia, Portfolios, 2016

"Bronwyn Hill is an up-and-coming figurative painter based in Brisbane, Australia. Her delicate artwork typically depicts realistic portraits of women placed in natural settings, rendered through oil paints and skilled layering techniques. Each of Hill’s artworks capture a lovely and natural beauty, radiating tangible emotion that speaks volumes of her artistic talent."

"Naming light and patterns in nature as leading influences within her pieces, Hill makes use of her artwork as a means of self-expression. The women depicted in her portraits are representatives of herself, and though they may not all feature her face, each are indicators of Hill’s emotional state at the time of creation. Some portraits seem to embody a carefree and utterly relaxed nature, whereas others are more melancholic and pensive, yet all are stunning in their own right."
