Changethethought

Strange, hip and sometimes almost disturbing art, drawings, graphic design and collages fill the portfolio of Alexander Gustafsson.

Drew Struzan paints illustrations for use in movie posters and on the cover of DVDs. You can actually buy his work for a hefty sum, but owning one would be a real shred of pop culture history. His work is strikingly beautiful and the likeness and heroism in his imagery is dead on for the film industry.

Hybrid Heart is the artwork of Beautiful Decay founder and publisher, Amir H. Fallah. I have been on his email list for a very long time now, and I have been really amazed at just how personally committed he is to his personal pursuit of fine art and his career as a painter. His latest work shows the result of that committment as his work continues to mature and develop into some unique, contemporary and colorful compositions.

Sculptor, Adam Beane makes tiny and phenomenal sculptures for toy companies. They are amazing not only for the likeness of the subject but also the detail. The craftsmanship and commitment to generate something so painstakingly demands respect.

Reza emailed me about his zombie-drawing blog, Rezatron. Aside from drawing the undead he is also the director at Three Legged Legs.

David Jon Kassan is one of those rare painting talents who is able to manifest imagery that retains all of the detail of a photograph but has the added personality and emotion that can only come from the hand stroke of a master craftsman. He traded Little Rock, Arkansas for Brooklyn, New York. There is no big surprise there as that appears to be the art hub of the U.S.

Carsten Höller makes things I can hardly understand. I guess I can more understand them as objects but how he makes them and how he arrives at the decision to make them is much more a mystery to me. He has a doctorate in biology and you can see the scientific mind at work in his art. One thing is certain, everything he makes is definitely high art.

The Clayton Brothers are a pair of artists now working in Pasadena, California but have home ties to good ole Denver, Colorado. I came across their work this morning while perusing the Denver Egotist and was really blown away by the paintings created for their recent exhibition, Jumbo Fruit, at Patrick Painter Gallery in Santa Monica. The paintings fall somewhere between pop and metaphysics and the resulting imagery is really amazing. You can also read Nathan Spoor‘s review of the exhibit at Juxtapoz.

The photo-artwork of Gena Morgese is rather indescribable. It’s an image based exercise in storytelling and is without a doubt art. The familiarity is twisted into something new that forces the viewer to reconsider their perception.
