Sculptures Popping Out of Paintings Oh, to have been in Tokyo in June! Shintaro Ohata just finished up a solo exhibition at the Yukari Art Contemprary in Tokyo, Japan. This Hiroshima, Japan-born artist is known for his ability to show us everyday life in a cinematic way. He captures light in his paintings, showering the world, as we know it, with carefully placed strokes of it. "Every ordinary scenery in our daily lives, such as the rising sun, the beauty of a sunset or a glittering road paved with asphalt on a rainy night, becomes something irreplaceable if we think we wouldn’t be able to see them anymore," he told Yukari gallery. "I am creating works to capture lights in our everyday life and record them in the painting.” More than that, this artist has a unique style. Straight from the Yukari gallery, here's a sample of his stellar work. ' Photos courtesy of Yukari Art Contemporary.

Daniel Gordon: “The Green Line” is a nod to Matisse’s 1905 portrait of his wife (PHOTOS). Daniel Gordon, courtesy of M+B For Daniel Gordon’s latest series “The Green Line,” the artist used photography and collage as tools to create works referenced from Matisse’s well-known 1905 portrait of his wife titled The Green Stripe (La Raie Verte). “The title is a nickname for the painting because of the artificial shadow displayed as a line down the center of her face,” Gordon wrote via email. To create each piece, Gordon sorts through photographic images found on the Internet, prints them, and builds 3-D tableaux he then shoots with an 8x10 view camera. He said he is inspired by not only Matisse’s art but also his philosophies. “I’m interested in taking ideas that were radical in Matisse’s day (collapsing space through the blending of foreground and background, multiple angles viewed at the same time, and Fauvist color and expression, among others) and moving them into a contemporary photographic space,” Gordon wrote via email.

Big Doodle - sharpie on mat board - 40" x 32" Artwork © Lawrence Yang 2009 my blog | my site | purchase inquiries The Surrealism of Skin: Photorealistic Pencil Drawings by Ileana Hunter « Art Installations Ileana Hunter’s passion is drawing portraits of famous faces in a highly realistic style. She uses a variety of different pencils to create her drawings, ranging from hard pencils that create a light tone to soft lead pencils that creates rich, dark tones. The majority of Hunter’s models are female, including actresses like Scarlett Johansson and deceased singer Amy Winehouse. Using a photograph as reference, Hunter sketches and then shades her drawings, carefully copying the highlights, gradients and shadows of the photograph to create photorealistic drawings. “Photorealistic” means drawing or painting a picture that looks like a photograph but isn’t. It is a style that is tricky to achieve as it requires a lot of time and patience and doesn’t allow the artist to use expressive brushstrokes or pencil lines in the art work. Ileana Hunter’s art is classified as both fine art and fan art.

Moleskine Art: collected works Posted by: – Jun 18, 2010 Displaying art whose origin is within a notebook seems almost contradictory; if the intent was display, wouldn't the work have been produced on canvas, large paper, or any medium that isn't designed to be closed and sealed? Perhaps that's the appeal of these works; I feel as if I'm privy to something that might not have been meant to be seen by the masses.

:::::: 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.
