Rachel Levit is another artist recently featured on Buy Some Damn Art. Her work varies in style across different mediums from painting to illustration to digital. The soft faces of her characters cast a poetic gaze onto the viewer under the stroke of a brush.
I love this infographic portrait, very clever and unique.

The paintings and sculptural work of Pedro Friedeberg are just wild. A psychedelic M.C. Escher-esque style choke-full of bright colors and bold patterns offering up illusions and fantasy.

Taking inspiration from a love for nature and classic video games, Laura Bifano paints polygonal animals out in the wild in the series Menagerie. Laura’s work has a very whimsical, fairy-tale like quality, very soft and nostalgic.

The paintings of Kim Westfall are just superb and her tumblr page is teeming with them. I just love irregular paper canvases. The quality of her work is so painterly and textural and abstract.

Memory Palaces from Edie Fake is a series of pen, ink, and gouache drawings re-envisioning Chicago’s queer history (both real and unreal). Edie’s work centers around creating a queer utopia through his series of drawings, performances and zines. The Memory Palaces series is particularly fantastic, the decadent and art deco-esque facades are quite captivating.
VIA: BOOOOOOOM!

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.

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.

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.

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.
