I’m not particularly drawn to graffiti style paintings, but Samuel Lowder (aka FrePrs) has roped me in with his weathered texturing and complex layering. Oh, yeah and the contrast of muted tones with bright greens, pinks and teals.

Artist: Margery Amdur

This piece from Margery Amdur is made from cosmetic sponges and pigment, brilliant!!! I would be so tempted to push my hands into this squishy piece. I also love Margery’s resin pieces, similiar to reverse glass painting. The colors are collaged with found imagery creating a jumbled paint-by-numbers feel.

Max Kauffman’s paintings are definitely chaotic, but the colors and the imagery are quite captivating. I’m just awed by the detail and depth of each piece.

Photographer Fabian Oefner has recreated black holes, in a more colorful sense and without the whole ‘sucked into an oblivion’ thing. These images are quite breathtaking and the creative process is just as interesting. Check out the video below.

Artist: Riikka Sormunen

The illustrative work of Riikka Sormunen is absolutely stunning. Her color palette is seductive as well as the detailed patterns scattered throughout her work. I would love to live a day in one of Riikka’s illustrations: lazily lounging in a flowing silk dress with long, lush hair.

Using salvaged materials, Ted Larsen constructs minimalist sculptures on a scale both large and small. I find the antique color palette and raw construction to be quite pleasing, perfectly complementing any bare wall.

Artist: Amanda Brazier

The recent artist featured on Buy Some Damn Art is painter Amanda Brazier. She has sold 4 out of 6 pieces already, which comes as no surprise because Amanda’s work is brilliant and beautiful. She respectfully grinds her own paints using earth pigments from her home in Chattanooga, Tennessee and locations in North Carolina. Amanda collects red, yellow, brown and sometimes purple pigments from the earth, creating a warm and welcoming color palette. Check out her interview at Buy Some Damn Art.

For the longest time, I’ve been awed by the cellular growth in petri dishes. The cultures are so visually stunning and colorful and I’ve often wanted to replicate the patterns and textures through embroidery.
So naturally, I was excited to see this work by artist Klari Reis, who has created these wonderful paintings using reflective epoxy polymer inside plexiglass petri dishes. Klari installs her work in clusters of 30, 60 and 150.

As if the theory that our bodies are made from celestial dust isn’t poetic enough, photographer Ignacio Torres has created an equally enchanting series of GIFs under the title Stellar. Using dust and reflective confetti, Ignacio captures a galaxy in motion as his subjects appear frozen in time.

Artist: Alan Brown of Medusa Wolf

Jason and I are just tickled by the work of Alan Brown of Medusa Wolf. Every year for our anniversary we love to add a piece of original art to our collection. I think we’ve already made a decision for this year, but I’m not sure if we can wait until September. How can you resist two macho dudes spouting sentiments!
