Magnificent Oil Paintings by Leonid Afremov. 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. My heart is completely open to art. ~ 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. - STREET ART UTOPIA More info. More info. More Banksy on Street Art Utopia. More info.

"Pictures of the Times: A Century of Photography From The New York Times." "Pictures of the Times: A Century of Photography From The New York Times." No single photograph can sum up the cultural climate of a decade. But the images shown here capture something of the flavor of their times, particularly in the second half of the century, with the gradual merging of high and low culture. It was an era in which the news photograph yielded increasingly to the up-close-and-personal style that explored a subject's character beyond the necessities of mere identification and illustration. The show was assembled by Mark Bussell and Nancy Weinstock, picture editors at The Times, and Peter Galassi and Susan Kismaric, photography curators at the Modern, who spent more than a year reviewing some 1.5 million images.

Time lapse portraits Art & Design Yoshihisa Tanaka and Ryuta Iida created these time lapse portraits. They are made out of different portraits of the same person with an interval of three minutes. Artist Spotlight: Cherri Wood by Teddy Zareva Newspaper cutout, hidden messages, and what Oliver Twist has to do with ink stains. Cherri Wood is one of those rare nineteen-year-olds who manage to translate their mandatory teen angst into wonderful works of art. Her drawings combine that childish, messy quality of art with the intensity of adult reality. 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)
