Creating a Life I love Through Art
Check out this incredibly detailed artist. I LOVE the trust she has in her own ability to work in pen only. Her paper creations seem to go on and on forever and take you inside the landscape, inside the fortress walls, inside the tiny markings. Ahhhh
This is inspiring me to sit and draw!

I know, I know most of the artists on here have been females,… but I just love this guys work!
Check it out! Figures and paint strokes! Ahhhh!! I love the missing pieces and how the eye fills it in. The painterly vibe is so cool.

I am loving these gesturally exciting abstract paintings. They are full of movement and sexuality and bodies dancing together. Ahhhh!
I’d love to see one up close.

There is nothing cooler than a really amazing installation artist. I would love to walk inside one of Jason’s creations.
He’s known for his structural wall and ceiling installations. Wowwww! He uses a lot of materials that pay homage to his Japanese heritage.

Drippy colorful landscapes and silouettes. Ahhhh! This female painter creates these wonderous paintings and murals both inside and outside. It’s like walking into this funky dream.

I know I normally post female artists, but I just couldn’t help myself with this one.
Okay coming from someone that loves to doodle (and can always appreciate a good scribble), this work is awesome!
Nate’s work is fun and vibrant, and as you can see from his website, he does sculpture and paintings. It’s pretty rad that even his paintings look more like sculpture.
Check him out!

I stumbled upon this photo-realistic painter on Instagram awhile back, and was blown away. Her attention to detail and emotion is stunning. It’s one thing to paint what you see, but it’s quite another to add LIFE to it.
Check out her work when you get a chance:

What??!
Wow! I happened to be surfing Instagram when I came across this gem. These are hyper-realistic portraits made from silk, cotton and wool.
I am so unbelievably fascinated!
The part that I found to be even cooler, is that the back of the embroidery is just as incredible, if not more. Wow! There is so much life and power and movement just beyond what we would normally see. Sheesh…

Scoping through Instagram is the best way to find interesting artists. This girl popped into my search, and I was instantly drawn to her work. If you don’t like getting messy (or seeing messy), this won’t be your thing. But I love it. I love the unfinished, in the middle of, passionately moving through sorta look. Her pieces feel like time is moving around me, like I’m standing on the platform as the subway rushes by. Or that I can barely make out diamonds in a rainstorm.
