Visual artist Mia Novakova uses the ambiguity of liminal spaces to create mysterious and thought-provoking artworks, absorbing viewers to interpret and question the state of reality. Wrapping objects is not new in art, but the way Mia does it triggers the concept of form cleared of function, meaning and time.
What can be a mirror for human emotions? In his art, Dmitriy Grechko is looking for answers to this question, along with the continuous search for the face as a reflection of emotions, memory, and inspiration.
He is drawn to the human presence, especially the female figure, as both subject and symbol — a vessel of strength, fragility, and timeless beauty. The brutality of expressionism in his portraits is interpreted from his own point of view, where faces are transformed into landscapes of inner states. It becomes a place where silence, mystery, and imagination meet. We experience how this depiction goes beyond traditional portrait painting through Dmitriy’s expressive brushstrokes and thick layers of paint. The face becomes a strange and indeterminate terrain through the use of acrylic paints, a palette knife, and wide, expressive strokes.
The texture and layering of colour create both structure and spontaneity, allowing emotion to shape figures on the canvas. Dmitriy’s approach is based on freedom and energy, expanding toward a more contemporary language — bold, direct, and multidimensional.
Last year, Grechko took part in the 23rd Israeli Art Exhibition for mental health, showing his work Silent Strength. With its distinctive thick brushstrokes, deep colours and a powerful emotional effect, this picture became a part of a grandiose exhibition dedicated to overcoming emotional trauma. The work is an invitation to the viewer to look beyond the surface, to enter into dialogue with the unseen, and to find within the face a reflection of their own inner world and feelings.
The show featured approximately 600 works by leading and promising artists in the Bank Hapoalim administration building in Tel Aviv. A record number of visitors were able to view the artworks — more than 6,000 people.
Looking closely at Aron’s art, you can feel that deep, unknown, earthly force that someone calls chthonic or hypochthonic. There is a strong connection with the unknown that makes you feel saddened and empty but engaged at the same time.
“The moody spaces of of American artist Aron Wiesenfeld thrum quietly with moments of melancholy and a deep sense of loneliness. His scenes are of dimly lit liminality: sparse, shadowy landscapes outside of borders where the wilderness and urban converge and paths or portals often appear. We don’t know whether the characters in them will take that road or make the leap beyond; they exist perpetualy at the threshold of thier own personal fable in the solitude of self reflection as they stare off into an enigmatic abyss.”
It is 2081, and an art student initiates research on the code artists of the century. AI randomly picks William Mapan’s name. “Dragons series of generated art is minted on fx(hash) in 2021.” - wow, they minted artwork before! In a Fx(hash)! A massive holographic gallery now hanging as the ephemeral cube above the great Pacific Data Breach Patch. Let’s dig in!
We are not falling into futuristic stories right now, but imagine this is the truth. Undoubtedly, more studies on Code as Art will appear soon, and more artists’ names will be revealed. William Mapan is defo a shiny gem among them.
Five years ago, he started creating generative art after realizing that his coding skills could be used to make art. Seeing the innovative works of artists like Vasarely and Vera Molnàr inspired him to explore the potential of using algorithms to create art. This led him to merge his different interests and develop his artistic practice. Engaging in other fields has helped him grow and become more sensitive, thanks to his natural curiosity.
Through the span of his last 4 years in NFT (remember it is equal to 9 normal years) William has been featured through a number of significant exhibitions and auctions including Sotheby’s, Christies, Unit London, Art Blocks and etc. Currently he shares a teaser for his next collaboration with Avant Arte platform.
“God is in details”, one can say about minimalistic approaches to creativity. But sometimes, excessive details drive a bigger picture for an artist’s imaginative world. If you come across Esra Elsen's artworks, you may understand the oversaturated level of detail. Painstakingly created sometimes following a “pixelboy’s” isometric grid Esra artworks hit you from the very first time.
Jérôme Oudot Trëz, seamlessly intertwines drawing and digital creation. His artistic journey began digitally, evolving into a successful career as a "Layout artist" for 3D animation films. A transformative 2009 exhibition (Materia Prima Art Factory, France) marked a shift in perspective, revealing the captivating allure of his creations to art enthusiasts.
Blending traditional and digital mediums, Jérôme digitally reworks paper drawings, creating animated GIFs and limited edition prints. Bridging classical and digital artistry, he masterfully expresses emotion in drawing and a mechanical essence in the digital realm.
Inspired by German expressionists Nicola Samori and Olivier de Sagazan, Jérôme infuses violence and deformation into his work. Influenced by Hans Ruedi Giger and Zdzislaw Beksinski, he combines organic and mechanical elements, reflecting a fear of pain and death. Dave McKean's creative vision further shapes his multifaceted approach.
