Robert Peterson art

February 08, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Art, Portfolios, USA

International contemporary artist specialising in figurative painting with concentration on portraiture.

“Peterson came to painting in 2012, when he put paint to canvas professionally for the first time after receiving life-altering medical news. Eight months later, he exhibited his work in New York and has since become one of the country’s most celebrated new artists, exhibiting in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami. Peterson paints raw, honest, and empowering portraits with the express goal of uplifting people of color. Reconsidering and challenging the ways they have often been perceived, Peterson strives to establish “a dialogue between his works and the people viewing them… about how beautiful, resilient, powerful, and worthy we are and have always been."“

Fine Art Photography by Julie Blackmon

January 26, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA

@julie_blackmon

Photography artist Julie Blackmon’s works speak for themselves

The Dutch proverb “a Jan Steen household” originated in the 17th century and is used today to refer to a home in disarray, full of rowdy children and boisterous family gatherings. The paintings of Steen, along with those of other Dutch and Flemish genre painters, helped inspire this body of work. I am the oldest of nine children and now the mother of three. As Steen’s personal narratives of family life depicted nearly 400 yrs. ago, the conflation of art and life is an area I have explored in photographing the everyday life of my family and the lives of my sisters and their families at home. These images are both fictional and auto-biographical, and reflect not only our lives today and as children growing up in a large family, but also move beyond the documentary to explore the fantastic elements of our everyday lives, both imagined and real.

The stress, the chaos, and the need to simultaneously escape and connect are issue that I investigate in this body of work. We live in a culture where we are both “child centered” and “self-obsessed.” The struggle between living in the moment versus escaping to another reality is intense since these two opposites strive to dominate. Caught in the swirl of soccer practices, play dates, work, and trying to find our way in our “make-over” culture, we must still create the space to find ourselves. The expectations of family life have never been more at odds with each other. These issues, as well as the relationship between the domestic landscape of the past and present, are issues I have explored in these photographs. I believe there are moments that can be found throughout any given day that bring sanctuary. It is in finding these moments amidst the stress of the everyday that my life as a mother parallels my work as an artist, and where the dynamics of family life throughout time seem remarkably unchanged. As an artist and as a mother, I believe life’s most poignant moments come from the ability to fuse fantasy and reality: to see the mythic amidst the chaos.

Matteo Ingrao Sculpture

December 09, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Art, Belgium, Portfolios, Sculpture

@matteoingrao

Matteo is a creator of hirsute and peculiar human-like sculptures that falls out of uncanny valley. He draws inspiration from man’s wild, natural, and primitive origins, how isolation affects form, and musings on alternate human evolution and deformation (hypertrichosis syndrome, for instance, is a recurring theme in his work). His organic and realistic sculptures act to capture specific points in time, encapsulating specific glimpses of the human form and so preserving them in time and space.

He provides new perspectives on the human body, aiming to challenge his audience, provoking discourse through the creation of contradictory feelings: his works induce an ambivalent desire to touch while simultaneously stirring discomfort and aversion.

Daniel Martin art

November 12, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Art, Netherlands, Portfolios, Sculpture

@daniel_martin_art

Daniel lives and works in Leiden, The Netherlands. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. In his current work he searches for the transmutational properties of matter. The portraits and sculptures do not have a definite form and posses different realities on how they can be perceived. In order to come to new forms Daniel cuts up paintings, finds things on the street and uses creations made by others. The loose elements from these endeavours are used as disjointed brushstrokes that are reassembled in coherent shapes again, creating an object which holds no truth in shape.

Connections by Daria Khasaia and Galina Shevchenko

November 10, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Art, Turkey, Finland, Portfolios

From the past to the future - the project "Connections" by Daria Khasaia and Galina Shevchenko

The idea of the artists is to show the connection between a stable classical image in art and instant modern variability. It is she who is difficult to perceive by the viewer. She, most often, attracts with her duality, which the very union of two contemporary artists possesses.

Galina Shevchenko is an artist from Finland. For a long time, she worked in the classical style of painting. Her delicate watercolours, full of romantic mystery, promise both tranquillity and adventure: “The sun has not yet risen above the haze of clouds, and the mountains in the distance seem blurred in the predawn haze. The yachts are preparing to leave the bay for the open sea, but so far everything is motionless and breathes peace and quiet.” And now Galina herself embarked on the study of new facets of contemporary art.

Daria Khasaia lives and works in Istanbul. She chose the fragility of human emotions as the main direction of creativity: shame, anger, and pain along with unconditional love, tenderness and acceptance. She expresses her vision of the complex human nature with the help of collage, photo and video art, which can be accompanied by a live musical performance.

The creative union of such dissimilar artists was born in 2019 when they both received the Peggy prize. This union can be called a harmonious symbiosis of opposites, which breathed life into the "Connections" project. Connections between mature and young, unshakable and changeable, past and yet to come. As well as the connections between people, nations, and countries, which the girls demonstrate by personal example.

The artists presented five works in mixed media, where they combined classical and modern techniques. The message of most of the works is clear on an intuitive level. This is due to the desire of girls to make the contact of viewers with art more accessible.

The world is rushing at a crazy pace, changes sweep everything around, giving birth to new and new trends, names, and meanings ... It is impossible to remain a retrograde, nervously sitting on a stool of the past. And at the same time, it is so important to have unshakable foundations and roots that will help you not get lost in the whirlwind of a crazy future. Where is this edge? Transition? Merging two elements?

Each of the artists answers this question in her own way, but such dissimilar voices of the girls surprisingly merge into unison.

Galina brings out the haze of a blurred watercolour of hazy shades, deftly writing out the smallest details. Unites Daria's collages into a surreal world full of myths and deities, as if in an unusual dream. Unites the works of the artist’s mood, wary and curious in relation to the subtle moment of transition.

Most of the works have an unusual structure - this is an attempt to come up with the very future art that the project is looking for. Artists simply allowed themselves to be in a creative search, without depriving themselves of inner freedom. After all, the theme of the connection between the past and the future, life and death is presented to each of us in different ways.

Paper-cut corals by Rogan Brown

“Artist Rogan Brown introduces his intricate cut-out paper ‘coral garden’, following his previous series that emphasised the mesmerising diversity of the coral realm. In his previous sculptures, the artist sought to capture the durable yet fragile silhouette of the corals, which is a symbol of the overwhelming impacts of global warming and man-made destruction.” via designboom

‘Coral Garden’ is part of an ongoing series displayed at Galerie Bettina in Paris, as a contemplative journey to the heart of nature. “The reefs are a potent symbol of the planet itself: teeming with life and colour and biodiversity and yet threatened with extinction because of our inability to control our own appetites and to accept the consequences of our own actions.”

Art of Tiffany Cole

@tiffanycole

Tiffany Cole was born and raised in San Francisco California and is now based in London England. She is a self-taught artist and a muse to some of the world's leading artists. While her work revolves around the human form Tiffany also adds raw, colourful abstraction to her figure work. After the careful and technical creation of the figure she dives into pure emotion with instinctual, bold mark making.

“I am deeply interested and consumed with the beauty and sensuality of the figure. I feel like I get to tell stories with my hands and create the worlds that I felt I had to keep trapped in my mind for so many years. Through my art I am free to express my sensuality, and I’m finding with my work I’m able to give a voice to the inner thoughts of many women I’ve come to meet, who have become muses to me. My work represents the two dominant and sometimes harmful sides of my personality, obsession with perfection with bouts of exuberant spontaneity”

Objects of Desire by Pleun Van Dijk

September 14, 2021 by Arseny Vesnin in 2021, Art, Netherlands, United Kingdom

@p_l_e_u_n

In her most recent work, Objects of Desire, van Dijk investigated the increasingly intimate relationship between humans and technology that may eventually lead to blurring of boundaries between the two.
To illustrate the concept, the designer, invented a three-step method.

In step one, the first dataset was curated containing both realistic (representing human genitals) and abstract sex toys. These toys are objects we by nature have a very close physical relationship with and could also be seen as an example of (sexual) objectification.

In step two, a pre-trained machine learning (ML) model was used to generate a collection of 1,000 new, non-existing shapes based on the initial dataset.

In step three, the generated images were curated and translated back into a three- dimensional physical reality. This resulted in a series of undefined, anthropomorphic, human-like sculptures.

The Objects of Desire design project encourages us to critically evaluate the fundamental questions and ethical implications related to the rapidly evolving relationship between humans and technology. It ‘confronts the viewer with a speculative scenario and leaves them to decide whether they perceive the outcome as human, non-human or something that exists in between.’ (van Dijk, 2021)
