Is there really much more that I can say about these paintings beyond their obvious brilliance? No. So I won’t. The portraits are done to perfection by artist Greg Peltz. Found via Josh Spear.

Hey everyone, sorry about the hiatus. I’ve been working on a new design for the site, but realized that I can’t just neglect it while I’m doing that so I promise to keep posting. I decided to go with something that has a lot of color, and isn’t another video… So I’ve decided to show you an amazing artist named Francois Nielly who was born in Marseille and is now living in Paris. She does her work from black and white photos and uses a painting trowel instead of a brush. Check out her site here. Via Cool Hunter.

Here’s a fresh artist, Andy Thomson, that continues the western theme promoted by Red Dead Redemption. I especially like the Spaghetti Western influences in the first piece. You can go and check him out here at Society6.

May 17
Now that it’s entering the home stretch, few can say that the TV series Lost is anything but a major piece of the popular consciousness pie from the last decade. Like it, love it, or despise it, Lost has captured the imagination of many, including graphic designer Alex Griendling who has taken the iconography of the show’s first season one step further by playing with the cultish aspects of the series, making the main characters into their own Tarot cards. I’m not much of a mystic (sorry Laura!) and don’t subscribe to the charlatianism of Tarot readings, but at least with these cards I wouldn’t mind watching them being meaningfully flipped over (love that the smoke is present in every card). Check out the whole set here. Thanks Charlie.
Cayetano
Mar 12
Cayetano Valenzuela is an artist enomoured with the depiction of memory and dreams, which definitely comes through with his work. The striking colors, and odd placements of figures illicit that feeling that you get upon waking from a particularly vivid dream where everything seemed to make sense when it was happening but now just seems weird. You can check out some of his prints here, his website here, and a blog here.

Kaloian Toshev is a 22yr old artist from Bulgaria who has a great sense of space and color. Most of his paintings are of women (a popular subject), but no two pieces appear the same. It appears that he has a pretty bright future, and hopefully we’ll see more of his stuff over here. Check out his site here for more of his work. Found via design fckr.

Well here is the best use of staples that I’ve seen this year. The french artist Baptiste Debombourg has decided to forgo paint for this fresco, and realize a beautiful piece of art with one of the more mundane objects in our everyday world. You can check her site here. Found via Apartment Therapy.

I recently finished watching the 2008 film Beautiful Losers, that examines the rise of street culture to mainstream acceptance in the art world. It’s an interesting film, filled with some amazing artists including the the late great Margaret Kilgallen. Sadly, she died of breast cancer in 2001 at the age of 33. Her art has an amazing feeling of nostalgia tinged with a fully modern taste. In fact the more I’m exposed to her work the more that I’m beginning to realize that it’s been around me all along.

Mexican artist Alberto Cerriteno’s work is awesomely weird. Using both painting and the digital world (mostly photoshop), he’s able to create pieces that have a large amount of depth to go with his largely two dimensional characters. Go check out more of his stuff here on his great homepage, or an inverview with him here. Enjoy. Found via Web Urbanist.
