Part 1 - AmO Images - AmO Images. Leonid Afremov is a Belarus born, Israeli modern painter who creates unique landscapes, cityscapes and figures using a palette knife rather than a brush to paint. "I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in love with painting with oil and pallette-knife. Every artwork is the result of long painting process; every canvas is born during the creative search; every painting is full of my inner world. Each of my paintings brings different mood, colors and emotions.

I love to express the beauty, harmony and spirit of this world in my paintings. . ~ Leonid Afremov Copyrighted by Leonid Afremov. Carnovsky. RGB Color est e pluribus unus RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”. RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus. Carnovsky's RGB is an ongoing project that experiments with the interaction between printed and light colours. The resulting images are unexpected and disorienting.

The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a colored filter (a light or a transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. See the Wallpapers collections available: Jen Mann's Return. Today, we revisit artist Jen Mann since her last two previous features back in September 2011 and May 2010. Mann is currently based out of Ontario, Canada where she continues to produce oil on canvas paintings. Architectural Watercolors by Maja Wrońska. I’m really enjoying the use of structure and color by Poland-based watercolor artist Maja Wrońska who has captured some lovely scenes from Paris, Venice, Prague, and elsewhere.

Catch more of her work over on DeviantArt and Behance. (via my darkened eyes) Shaun Ferguson - New Work. From Street to Cardboard. New Non-Photoshopped Body Art by Chooo-san. Can you believe that these body modifications are created without using any digital editing software? They are the painted works of a Japanese artist known simply as Chooo-san. We first came across the unusually realistic body art of the 19-year-old Musashino Art University student this past summer and in a matter of months she has completed six new surreal body art pieces that continue to blow our minds. Equipped with some acrylic paints and raw talent, Chooo-san has once again proven she is a master manipulator.

There's even a hint of humor in the new works. On a lean torso of a man, she depicts a series of neatly fastened buttons and the same set of buttons appear to be popped open, unable to close shut, on the belly of a heavier set fellow. Chooo-san website. Spectacular Tree Hole Paintings Brighten Up China's Streets. In China, public trees have been transforming into beautiful works of art thanks to 23-year-old art student Wang Yue. With her friend Li Yue, aka Belladrops, documenting her progress, the artist has garnered much attention for her creative public art which has turned the streets of Shijiazhuang into a delightful sort of pop-up gallery. Equipped with a backpack full of a few basic painting tools, Wang treats tree trunks as her canvas and creates illusionary portals in the natural fixtures.

Choosing to maintain the beauty of nature in her work, the visual communications major paints images of adorable animals and botanic landscapes onto the exposed wood. Wang's intention behind her public artworks is to brighten up the foggy streets of this town, which happens to have one of the worst cases of air pollution in the world. The tree hole paintings have been embraced by the community and approved by the local environmental protection bureau, who confirms "the paints do not harm the trees. " Bryan Cunningham makes art with pop tops. Beautiful Japanese-inspired surrealist paintings. Step into these paintings by Anna Kristensen, literally. Gummy bear paintings by Jeanne Vadeboncoeur. Alice in Wonderland illustrations by Salvador Dali. New art by Miss Cassie. Okay, full disclosure, Miss Cassie is my wife and no longer technically a Miss, I suppose.

Her artwork is dense and complicated, full of pathos, and never fails to inspire me. Throughout our 17 year relationship, I have watched her work evolve, grow, and change into what it has become today. I am particularly intrigued by her more recent work, which mixes a fascination with Japan, printing techniques, recent motherhood and frozen charlottes. I am looking forward to an exhibition in the spring at newly re-located Slingluff Gallery in Calicoon, NY. Death (What’s In It For Me?) and more. London-based writer and artist Harland Miller’s work is now showing at Edinburgh’s Ingleby Gallery, and what he does to these Penguin paperback covers is amazing. It’s like he’s culture-jamming with his wry take to life, so there are gems like ‘You Can Rely On Me (I’ll Always Let You Down)’, ‘Fuck Dancing, Let’s Fuck’ and ‘Death (What’s In It For Me?)

‘ inscribed as book titles. New art by Berlin’s Vermibus. If you live in Berlin, you’re lucky. I like youth against establishment, I like defacing things, especially with moustaches. However, Vermibus, an artist and fast thinker from Berlin, has taken it to the next level. Do yourself a favor and go to Berlin. New paintings by Louise Hearman. Louise Hearman produces imaginative paintings with the use of vibrant and enticing colours and shadows. They hold theatrical notions as people can be seen hovering in a darkened blue skies with foreboding clouds.

A magical and odd sense dapples across each painting. Strange objects, people and animals are in curious atmospheres with reasons hidden from the observer, this results in a curious and exciting response when one gazes into the unknown. There is a constant eeriness even when depicted landscapes fit within the boundaries of the stereotyped aesthetic. Mixed-media paintings by Lou Ros. This series of paintings by French artist, Lou Ros, is entitled Come and See, and it draws inspiration from a 1985 Elem Klinov film by the same name. Ros’s mixed-media paintings are expressionistic, and and his colorful portraiture is vivid and stylistic. New illustrations by Jack Lee. Oil paintings by Joram Roukes. Photorealistic oil paintings by Philip Barlow. I love bokeh photography. There is something about the out-of-focus perspective that I find very soothing. Naturally, I am a big fan of the photorealistic oil paintings of Philip Barlow, who plays with the bokeh effect on an oil canvas. Mindblowing large scale street art by graffiti crew ETAM.

Paul Jenkins. Expressionist paintings by Jason Shawn Alexander. Los Angeles based artist Jason Shawn Alexander is one of my favorite painters. His expressionist figures are abstract, exaggerated, and at the same time, very real: like something from a half remembered dream. His work creates dark and personal narratives that capture strange moments of human drama. Haunted Ground: a new art series by Erika Jane Mallette. I’m a self taught artist out of Austin, Texas. My Haunted Ground series touches on addiction and destructive self behavior that we all can relate to in one way or the other. But it’s our job to turn our ugly side into something beautiful, such as in the case of my subjects.

Johnny Cash’s addictions were well known, as were Edgar Allan Poe’s. But through their addictions, they wrote and cultivated it into something haunting and splendid and that have truly stood the test of time. Depictions of the Underworld: new art by Casey Diebold.
