Wow, what exactly to say about the sublime work of artist Aron Wiesenfeld other than his skills are off the charts. His work is an open invitation to the viewer to insert their own narrative as to what exactly is happening within his drawings and paintings. His charcoal drawings are absolutely fantastic.

Australian artist Jonathan Zawada has updated his site with a new series of paintings for an exhibition at the Prism Gallery in Los Angeles. It’s a retro 70’s feeling collection of landscape imagery that was created through an extremely unique process described by Zawada himself below.
“An exhibition of large scale drawings and oil paintings at Prism Gallery, Los Angeles from December 16, 2010 – February 28, 2011. The landscape topographies were derived from graph data (displayed as printed mirrors on accompanying plinths), modeled in 3D and then oil paintings created from those 3D renders. For more information, visit the Prism website.”

Bobby Neel Adams is a photographic artist who resides in New York. He has been at work for many years and has spent much time examining the process of aging on the body and soul. His series entitled ‘Family Tree’ was created by splitting images of mothers and daughters, fathers and sons even fathers and daughters then resizing them to match in order to examine the changes brought on by aging yet still strange similarities between the two.

Rhode Island based painter and illustrator Rich Pellegrino draws inspiration from iconic movie characters that he paints in Gouache capturing a frenetic energy and the personality of the character. Not surprisingly some of his works have already found their way into some private collectors collections (try saying that three times really fast).

Luigi Loquarto has in his possession a nice portfolio of both paintings and marker drawings that range from abstract, slightly dark, sexy to upbeat and downright playful. I’d love to hang some of these in my soon-to-be-born son’s nursery that I am currently putting together.

Eric White’s surrealist paintings reference retro culture in a way that might confuse you for a moment but then sink their teeth in and commence brain melting from there.

You will be carried away by photographer Maia Flore’s latest series titled ‘Sleep Elevations’. And yes that was a pun. And yes it was intended but in no way meant to detract from the beauty of Maia’s work. They make me think of those strange dreams where you feel the sensation of hovering above yourself or floating over a landscape.
