The Seattle, WA based artist Jesse Brown’s work is elegantly graphic.
His arrangements of shapes, colors, type and pattern come beautifully to life in his work.
Brooklyn, New York based artist & writer Shane McAdams makes possibly the coolest art ever made out of ball point pens. through a process that involves cracking open the pens and blowing, dripping, and draining the ink onto a panel.
The resulting “Ball Point Pen Paintings” are amazing. The inks blend, creating bold blacks that fade into vibrant streaks of color.
Tomorrow Land, a series of giant paintings by Hawaiian born, New York based artist Micah Ganske, highlights America’s strive for technology and its casualties. The paintings, with their shadows of planes, telescopes, satellites and other unknown devices hovering above, depict the tragedies of America’s toxic and abandoned landscapes.
The paintings, which can take up to 6 months to produce, are created by staining untreated muslin with watered down acrylic paint, must be completed without error. The paintings are on exhibition at RH Gallery in New York until January 13th.
Check out the video below that RH Gallery put together of Micah’s process and the ideas behind it.
“Light,” a short film directed by David Parker of Sunday/Paper, is a beautiful short film that intends to bring awareness to the ridiculous amount of electricity we waste through lighting unused spaces.
David Parker, “Bleeding, crying lights were meant to metaphorically parallel the way in which we invisibly squander our natural resources without much thought. While the original sentiment remains, the film also grew into a poetic statement about a world run amok and the human tendency to exploit that which we hold dear.”
Brooklyn based artists Scott Redden’s paintings evoke a feeling of looking at a bygone era. The warm, soft colors mixed with the simplified shapes of the barns, trees, and clouds leads me to believe that these are painted from a world that only exists in Scott’s mind. Whether or not that is true is unimportant to me, but the paintings are inviting me to visit their serene world.
Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine (or just Melvin the Machine,) design studio HeyHeyHey’s latest project, is a brilliant rendition of a Rube Goldberg machine. Melvin The Machine is an art installation, orginally showing for 10 days in MU artspace during the 2010 Dutch Design Week, that takes pictures and makes video’s of his (its treated like a person) audience that are instantly uploaded to his blog, Facebook and Twitter accounts all while creating merchandise promoting himself. The entire cycle lasts 4 minuets at the end of which, Melvin the Machine picks a song to get the party started.
HeyHeyHey created the machine to produce what they call a “super moment” in which the experience counted rather than the end result. You can see more pictures of Melvin over on HeyHeyHey’s Flickr page.
The “In The Attic” series works by artist Lee Borthwick are created out of found materials from the 5th floor attic in Arts Council England’s new offices. The pieces include materials like MDF, dead wood, drift wood, willow & styrene mirror off-cuts.
The materials are cut down and reassembles into architectural reliefs. The series is currently out on loan but will be available to purchase in the coming months.
Love these watercolors by San Francisco based artist Serena Mitnik-Miller. Her warm & vibrant color use mixed with fluid feeling patterns & repetition create visually stunning pieces.
New Hartford, Connecticut based artist Bryan Nash Gill’s Woodcuts series of prints are stunning. These large pieces are printed actual size directly from found pieces of wood and slices of stumps. Gill’s work gives new life to an otherwise dead tree, allowing it to continue on in another form, telling its story through the rings and growth lines of its previous life.
