While browsing around on Booooooom this week, I came across Angelina Gualdoni’s paintings. Her earlier works depicted desolate landscapes and deserted buildings that eventually became abstract raw forms floating in enormous fields color fields. There’s definitely something ethereal about the delicate forms she depicts- they feel much like a collection of distant memories or dreams… [Read more…]

Zhou Fan has been blowing up on a lot of contemporary art/ design blogs recently and I’ve been a huge fan of his paintings for quite a while. His painting style has a very graphic, clean nature to it that emphasizes his dramatic and colorful shapes. Packed full of color, each painting vibrates off the… [Read more…]

While moving in between my design work and various other fine-art concentrations, I found Tomokazu Matsuyama’s paintings to be a firm representation of the bridge between both worlds. With hard contours and brilliant patterns that vibrate off the canvas, Tomokazu’s work brings a designer’s touch to painting. From his birth and BFA studies in Japan,… [Read more…]

I’ve recently decided to pick up painting again, after spending about a year and a half away from it. Right now I’m just working on developing a new body of work that has an abstract expressionism feel to it. I just picked up some fresh canvases and some new acrylics, so hopefully there will be… [Read more…]

After exploring his bio a little further, I found out he received his BFA from my school, SAIC (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), and his MFA from Yale. Hell yeah, represent! Keyes’ surreal paintings are… [Read more…]

I’ve recently been exploring Ellsworth Kelly in my search for pure minimalism simple abstract works. Kelly is a painter that comes from the time period of abstract expressionism, and his hard edged paintings were a large influence on the minimalist movement past the 1950s. Picasso was Kelly’s initial influence, and he often studied the figure… [Read more…]

Still havn’t stepped outside of my comfort zone when working straight up digitally, but I’m slowly getting more comfortable with it. Here’s another digital portrait I whipped up this evening- this Intuos pad is way to fun, I can’t put it down. Bacon, anyone? American Glory

After finally settling in back at home (glorious Franklin, Tennessee), I’ve had time to organize all of my work and finally get things into shape. Recently, I sold a large amount of my work at SAIC’s Spring Art Sale and of course, there’s tons left over. I’ve taken some (rather janky) pictures of the work… [Read more…]

Thomas Hooper’s online portfolio and blog came up on my screen today, and I’m beyond stoked about how beautiful and precise his work is. With a heft body of black and white inkwork, Thomas’ style has a contemporary twist to complex pointillism alongside patterns and linework that really bring out the beauty of black. Not… [Read more…]
