I wrote about the unusual work of Gavin Potenza several months back but just kind of rediscovered his talent today. I love that some of his work provokes immediate imagination. I don’t think there is a lot of new work in his portfolio but it looks as though he may have updated the site since I last checked in.
Sam Green is responsible for some really beautiful illustrations. I have written about him before but he has put a few new pieces of work in his portfolio that are worth a browse. His work is really exceptional and just a lot of fun to look at.
Sam Messenger has put together an unusual body of work featuring some really meticulous collage work that breaches the gap between art and graphic design.
Claire Scully has a really impressive portfolio displaying talent across the board from pen and pencil drawings to digital collage.
As you can see pictured above, Jorge Chamorro has put together a pretty kick ass little series of photo-collages.
Some really nice illustration/collage from Mr. Paul Burgess.
Cristiana Couceiro creates some very attractive collages mashing up retro and contemporary.
I know I have written about I Am Mint Condition before but damn it all if I am just not continually mind blown by the silver artistic brain bullets fired from the psyche of Travis Stearns. They aim straight for my art heart and fill it with inspired confusion. I just flat out love his collage work. It makes me want to crack open a can of creative whoop ass and work it out.
If I am not mistaken, since I last checked anyway, it appears that Eduardo Recife has updated with some new work.
I had to copy this direct from the source because Sarah Illenberger and her wild and wonderful work are no easy thing to put your finger on.
“Defining one category for all the work of Sarah Illenberger is no easy task. The forms the visual translations of her themes assume are far too diverse. What initially sounds quite abstract, in reality, is mostly practical in that her creations are not generated on a computer but rather by meticulous handwork, sometimes incorporating the most mundane materials. A story about love-sickness is visualised through an embroidered design. Variously coloured tablets are used to compose portraits for a magazine. And in Sarah’s hands, beauty products are given new life by being transformed into tourist landmarks. Whatever she creates, it is done with a humorous touch and a great love for detail. Each assignment leads to a unique work of art, sometimes visually enhancing the content of a feature, sometimes to be considered a work in its own right. In her Berlin studio, Sarah Illenberger develops concepts for editorial as well as commercial clients. She mostly works alone, but occasionally teams up with a photographer.”
The Unconventional Collage Show exhibiting the works of Alejandro Chavetta will be running from 1/16/09-3/1/09. Be there or be square. Great work.
Disturbing, yet still amazing art and photography from Gregori Maiofis. His gelatin silver prints look like they are over a hundred years old and feel that way as well, but beneath the surface of each something lingers and sticks in the subconscious.
Interesting collages from self-taught artist/designer Jacob Arden McClure.
Strange and interesting projects are pouring out of the radical mind of Carl Kleiner.
Yeah, I don’t really know what is going on here either but it is interesting, that is for sure. So go check out Rachel Lattimore’s bizzaro collages.
All manner of strange and fascinating things from the untamed mind of Seiko Kato.
