Randy Hryhorczuk has divided his paintings into several categories, all of which are worth a look, but once again I find myself drawn to urban landscapes. His series of billboard inspired works are fantastic, so fantastic in fact that I might just have to re-think my opinion of billboards in general.
Some people are simply having more fun than should be allowed by law. At least, that’s the feeling I get looking through Lauren Minco’s work. Very cool.
Jeffrey Palladini finds a way to distill intimate moments into very simple graphic compositions, and the effect is quite impressive. I’m reminded of the incredible comic work of Rutu Modan.
Sitting in the middle of winter, as I am, sure isn’t hurting their appeal, but I would be loving William Maughan’s coastal landscapes regardless. Fantastic!
There is a great set of portraits painted on book pages over on Annie Wong’s site.
They absolutely work on their own as paintings, but knowing that Megan Sinnett’s new series of portraits are based on publicized photos of missing children has definitely given them an intense atmosphere that I can’t shake.
It’s not the only thing I enjoy about these paintings, but there is a simple and compelling beauty to Kendra Gadzala’s work that keeps me coming back.
I am thoroughly impressed with the way Danny Hussey combines and overlaps mediums, images, and materials in the making his work. Check it out here.
