We absolutely love these photographs by Paris-based artists Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre. Rich textures, subtle pops of color and gorgeously soft lighting bring a sense of magic to these forgotten places.
KAROLINE HJORTH & RIITTA IKONEN
An incredibly amazing and funny photo series, found here.
We can’t stop staring at these wonderfully graphic paintings by Portland, Maine-based artist Joe Kievitt. Working on paper with ink and liquid paint, Kievitt isolates areas for treatment, working on a slow and meticulous process, creating these somewhat hypnotic asymmetrical works.
How great are these perceptual studies by Toronto-based artist Isabel M. Martinez. Spending her formative years in Santiago, Chile, Martinez’s work takes apart experience, time, perception and emotion in these simple yet mesmerizing photographs. Each piece is done using analog medium format film, multiple exposures, and in-camera masks to achieve the striped pattern, which at times renders the illusion of a three dimensional collage.
Brooklyn-based fiber artist Emily Barletta has us looking twice at her organically inspired pieces. At first glance we thought they were mere drawings, but each delicate line is actually thread, which makes us love it twice as much. Her careful use of color and composition weave textures that feel natural and inspiring - now if we could only see it in person!
We love these sweet pieces by Singapore-based artist Izziyana Suhaimi. Combining traditional illustration, watercolor and then adding embroidery, Suhaimi creates a subtle narrative between the traditional craftsmanship and contemporary subjects in these beautifully done pieces.
From her series “Mimicry”, Netherlands-based artist Ilse Leenders creates these carefully composed, colorful pieces that feel perfectly spring-like to us. Speaking to the idea of individuality and identity in contemporary society, “Mimicry” presents humans as faceless animals, adapting to their environments. Check out her website for a variety of other great projects.
From his series Corolla, New York-based photographer Daniel Seung Lee gives us a new way to see a very old subject. Removing color from flowers - arguably their defining and most attractive characteristic - Lee instead paints a rich textural portrait of something wonderfully organic, and yet almost leaves us feeling cheated.
Yet another artist we just had to share from our favorite art blog, The Jealous Curator. The most peaceful, lovely photographs of Iceland by Sydney based photographer Anna Pogossova.
