Jason Shawn Alexander is an expressionist and figurative painter currently based in LA and originally from Tennessee. His works aim to “embody the vulnerability, fear, and underlying strengths that come from his rural upbringing” in Tennessee. His writhing nude figures occupy the canvas together and we’re given a small glimpse into their...
I live in Italy ….in the ancient Magna Graecia ….I’m 52 years old… I’m a visual artist …. I drew only in black and white for 13 years or so …. I love the black indian ink … and its thousands and thousands shades….they are like the many shades of the soul …. I love the strong contrasts …...
I am originally from County Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. Growing up there, it is impossible, as a painter not to be affected by the history, landscape, space and light of the Atlantic coast. Art and music were always integral parts of my life, and the space of the Mayo landscape seems to be embedded in everything I make.~David Smith10 years...
As a survivor and ” thriver” of nearly 30 surgeries, a coma, and a decade of medical trauma, I have been challenged with moments of extreme difficulty. But as an artist, bride, actress, 28-year old college student and overall lover of life, I’ve learned so much from this beautiful detour. I would love to submit my art for your...
British artist Ian Francis tears down the border between the conscious world and that of dreams in his latest series, “The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer”. His mixed media paintings are populated with both realistic figures and fantastical other-worldly visions and they range from framed monochromatic works to larger compositions with more...
My name is Sath. I´m a Spanish painter and an urban artist currently based in Bangkok. Most of my urban interventions pursue the idea of the re-contextualization as a tool to construct new meanings. These artworks are spray-painted using figurative elements to create colorful pieces slightly surreal. Never neglecting the message, my work is...
German painter Alex Heil created a new series perfect for the summer season. The punchy paintings remind us of the joy of sitting by the pool and soaking in that summer sun. But within the light-hearted subject matter, her bikini-clad women and cropped views of various pool-side objects exude a more introspective mood. The isolated subjects and...
Missouri-based artist Melissa McCracken can see music. Melodies have color and movement due to a phenomenon in her brain called synesthesia. As a result of the condition, her compositions seem to float specks of color across the canvas in a dynamic rhythm as if suggesting either a slow dance or a more fast-paced tune. Skinnier lines dance their...
It’s taken a long, long time for Sonia Delaunay to be granted her first retrospective in the UK, and indeed she died back in 1979. With that in mind, it’s something of a travesty that it wasn’t until 2015 when the Tate Modern, London, finally did what no one else had the guts to do, and created an ode to the great artists work. Perhaps one...
Have you ever had that waking nightmare where you look around your apartment with your five cats and think…if I were to die right now, these felines will probably eat me before anyone realized anything was wrong? No? Me either. I can tell Pola Dwurnik has had that exact thought though, from what’s going on in her painting Coffee and Steel (No...
Few female Surrealist painters were given the credit their talent warranted at the time, but Leonora Carrington was one whose art was recognised, and who also holds the honour of being one of the last surviving Surrealists. Born in the UK in 1917, Carrington spent much of her artistic life abroad, with much of her work painted during her time in...
