Sarah Press — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 17:00:23 +0000

Norwegian visual artist Andreas Lie blurs the boundary between the beautiful wilderness of Norway and the people who call it home, creating subtle double exposure portraits. Inspired by the surroundings of his hometown Bergen, Norway, landscapes filled with water, snowy mountains, the Northern Lights, or the deep forests. These beautiful portraits generate a peaceful visual faculty, capturing an understanding and longing sense of home and identity. The minimalistic artwork was inspired by his desire to produce something unexpected, creating portraits with just droplets of ink. Lie prefers his double exposure work to be as simple as possible working frequently with the colors black and white.

Born in Seoul, South Korea, and grown up in the USA, the artist So Yoon Lym painted incredibly realistic, braided hairstyles for her series titled “The Dreamtime”.

The art project is inspired by the aboriginal stories and the history of origins. Fascinated by braided hairstyles, So Yoon Lym painted twenty of the realistic black and white portraits. Each braided pattern is a map of the ancient universe like valleys, mountains, forests, oceans, rivers and streams. These braided patterns are the language for the new aboriginal, and encourages viewers to change the way they look at the world. So Yoon Lym believes that her paintings represent a human connection, a lifeline that connects different generations of people who have practiced the same ritual.

German artist Wilfried Grootens creates glass paintings of various geometric forms for the series ‘Where The Shark Bubbles Blow’. Suspended in layers of glass, the fine linear brush strokes create three-dimensional artworks that seem to be floating. In a statement about his work, Grootens says: “In this way variations of forms are created, mirror axes, views of one and the same body depending on one’s point of observation.” His work has won several awards and is internationally exhibited.

Artist Amy Park Explores The Architecture Of New York City Through Watercolor Paintings

Jessica Jungbauer — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 09:00:07 +0000

Artist Amy Park captures the distinct architecture of New York City through watercolor paintings. Whether it’s the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building or Lower Manhattan, Park is able to portray the city from a unique point of view through repetitive pencil marks and precise watercolor strokes. During a flight down the Hudson River in her family’s 40-year-old private plane, she was able to experience the city among the skyscrapers while taking hundreds of photos at flight speed that would later turn into the idea of using watercolors. In a city of constant change, the large scale paintings document New York City’s ongoing transformation.

Marc Dennis erotic paintings

Caroline Kurze — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:02:56 +0000

Marc Dennis creates hyperrealistic paintings that are centered around the act of looking. Marc heightens a voyeuristic experience, suggesting a typical human behavior. His actors stand, peek, gaze and stare at that art that’s unfolding before them, transforming the viewer into an active part of the painting itself. The spectator becomes a participant in the pseudo-narrative and thus the meaning of the piece.

Marc Dennis explains: “The idea of a painting within a painting affords me lots of creative room to play, to present staged encounters, and conceptual paradox. I’ve always been intrigued with the visual manipulation of space and creating a psychic and erotic tension in my works.” For a detailed interview with the American artist, click here.

In this fun series of painted objects named ‘It’s not what it seems’, artist Hikaru Cho transforms common foods with deftly applied acrylic paints into something else. A banana gets to look like a cucumber, a tomato becomes a mandarine and even an egg is made into an eggplant. So better be careful when picking up fruits next time, when Hikaru Cho had a hand you might not get what you expected.
