There is something so intriguing about an artist who chooses to focus on drawings on paper. It seems like such an introspective type of expression. Today in my Artist Watch on Escape Into Life, I’m featuring artist Joe Sinness, whose quiet works scream for your careful attention..
Lush color and luminosity? What could be better! Head over to Escape Into Life to check out this week’s Artist Watch on New York artist Kristine Moran.
I find there is such a mystical, magical quality to the culture of India. Such a juxtaposition of riches and poverty, exuberance and isolation. The India Song series of photographer Karen Knorr explores the roles of power in Indian society and I find them both visually stunning and intellectually striking. See more of Karen’s work on my Artist Watch over on Escape Into Life today!
As much travelling as Mr. Forager and I do, we have yet to venture outside the US. But we have big plans to do so and I can. not. wait.!! Recently Artsy Forager fave artist, M.A. Tateishi, journeyed to a dream destination of mine, Turkey ( read all about it on her blog here ). While she was there, M.A. experienced the most amazing looking installation, Revolution Revelation, created by artists Arkin (Mercan Dede) and Carlito Dalceggio. I was especially struck by the style of Dalceggio– so modern Byzantine meets urban graffiti! So I’m featuring his work on my Artist Watch over on Escape Into Life today. His works feel like an escape into the intricacies of Moorish architecture in a delightfully twisted way. Nothing but love from this Artsy.
I have a feeling there is a contingency out there who think Pinterest is filled with nothing but images of shoes, decadent cuisine, house porn and Ryan Gosling memes. OK, perhaps they have a point. But when you follow smart, intelligent, artsy folks like I do, Pinterest can be a treasure trove of artistic goodies, like the work of German photographer Linus Lohoff, whose work I’m featuring in my Artist Watch over on Escape Info Life today. Hope you’ll head over to EIL to check it out and while you’re at it, take a peek at the Artsy Forager boards on Pinterest!
I love it when talented artists reach out and ask to be featured on Artsy Forager. And when they are from another country? That just thrills me even more! Very talented Barcelona artist Elena Vera Solodovnikova recently emailed me her work and I couldn’t wait to feature her in my weekly Artist Watch on Escape Into Life! Head over to EIL to check it out!
The minute Lisa Harris Gallery in Seattle posted images of Sherry Karver’s work, I knew I wanted to learn more about it. I hope you’ll be as intrigued as I was ( am! ). I’m featuring Karver’s work in my Artist Watch over on Escape Into Life today. You can also see her work in Lisa Harris Gallery’s group show, Photographic Wanderings, August 2nd- September 2nd.
If you’ve been an Artsy Forager reader for some time, you’ve probably noticed my attraction to art with a vintage spin. This week’s Artist Watch over on Escape Into Life is no exception! Like Amy Pleasant, Jhina Alvarado also takes her artistic inspiration from old photographs, lending them an anonymity by “black-barring” the faces. Love!
Bright vibrant color? Check. Painterly drips and texture? Check. Expressionistic composition? Check. The work of Diana Delgado encompasses all my favorite abstract art elements. Check out my Artist Watch feature on her work over on Escape Into Life today!
The work of multi-talented artist, art-director, illustrator, etc. etc., Wayne White spoke directly to my cheeky-art-lovin’ little heart when I first saw it on The Jealous Curator. Witty, thought-provoking messages painted over vintage reproductions? Brilliant. See some of my faves over on Escape Into Life today!
