You just kind of stare at the graphite drawings of artist Frank Magnotta and say to yourself, “Wow, that’s really amazing.”

“Avant Car Guard are a Johannesburg-based three member visual art collective, exhibiting and authoring as a singular artist. They have produced three publications on their work, titled Volume I, Volume II and Volume III respectively, and have exhibited at a national and international level for several years, with their production being based on a conceptual, self-reflexive and satirical approach to the art world – it’s markets, practitioners as well as the process of creating itself. This is manifest across multidisciplinary means; through photography, sculpture, performance, multiples, installation and painting.”

Weird, wild and just plain good stuff.

There is some beautiful Japanese-inspired art in the University of Iowa-trained and now Atlanta-based portfolio of painter and printmaker Jiha Moon. You could call it culturally-infused abstract-expressionistic surrealism.

German-born, New England-educated, ‘abstract geometric expressionist’ painter Torben Giehler has a penchant for exceptional color work. His sharp geometric paintings are eye-catching for sure but my personal preferences tend to skew in the direction of his more organic compositions.

Just downright bizarre paintings are being produced by RISDy graduate, Robin F Williams. And by ‘bizarre’, I mean very compelling and hard to look away from.

Jesse Balmer is an interesting illustrator/artist (more artist than illustrator) that I have had an eye on for a while. I really dig his work and it appears as though he has put some new examples of his unusual version of psychedelic surrealism on his website.

It only takes a few strokes in just the right places for artist Allison Schulnik to make a very strange and rather disquieting impression.

The creative work of David Benjamin Sherry is somewhat indescribable. It’s a fascinating mishmash of photography, psychedelia and surrealism. The end result is that each image is unique in the experience it offers the viewer to partake in.

Minjae Lee is a 19 year old artist/illustrator from South Korea. Considering his very young age, his work shows a maturity well beyond his years.

Dan Baldwin takes a mixed media approach to his artwork. He hacks, chops, spills, splatters and paints his compositions with frenetic energy. The end result is a mashup of the swilling vortex of violent news and popular culture.

Colin Jenkinson has a large volume of collage-style sketches and compositions within his Flickr-folio. His considered use of color and space makes each piece unique and inviting.

I am just really blown away today by the poster art of Emek. All of it is rich, amazingly conceived and incredibly rendered. It’s hard to think of one person outputting such an amazing body of poster art all by themselves. Truly inspiring. This is definitely ‘poster art’.

Alex Passapera is an illustrator/fine artist based out of New York. He has some downright wild, as in pretty awesome drawings in his portfolio. It’s either the stuff of dreams or nightmares. Maybe nightmares. But still awesome.

Andrzej Zieliński received an M.F.A. at Yale in 2004. Since then he has exhibited his work at several galleries within the U.S. His roots are in Kansas City, Missouri. I guess you could describe his work at abstract derived from modern technology.

Jon Kyle lives in Franklin, Tennessee where he generates some very unusual projects, all of which are very original and no two are the same. Is there an argument here for isolation breeding imagination?
