These amazing paintings from Ky Anderson appear as abstract landscapes under siege from the elements: wind gusts, rainfall and looming triangular shapes.

So simple are these pieces by artist Jen Garrido yet they remind of me old, weathered architectural structures bent and warped from old age.
And these pieces are just beautiful, revealing stellar-like universes behind a clouded atmosphere.

So let’s assess: naked dudes with pink masks in candy-coated cyber realities enjoying the pleasures of life. These paintings by Mark Whalen are quite strange yet mesmerizing.

Ironically, these images of a world in disarray are quite pleasing to the eye. I find Amze Emmons use of delicate line work against invisible, moody silhouettes in conjunction with his bold color choices alluring.

I love to layer, this is true when it comes to my fashion, my work and my plate. So it’s fair to say that I love Jennifer Sánchez’s paintings. Each piece dons neon colors layered onto neutral tones, shapes zigging and zagging in all different directions, patterns overlapping patterns. Jennifer’s work is available all over the internet: buy original work on Etsy, open editions at Society6, or fabric prints at Spoonflower. Then you can make your own garment and layer up.

Artist: Rachell Sumpter
October 3, 2012 by Erin Fletcher
Rachell Sumpter borrows symbols from religious and political traditions, dreams and our endangered natural world in order to capture legacies left by generations of people who are hidden, but whose actions are seen. Through layered gouache and pastel, Rachell creates scenes full of mystery, pleasure and loss, painting figures dressed in heavily embroidered clothing engaged in ceremonious acts. Amongst these powerful scenes we view human closeness and intimacy at the edge of vast natural landscapes.

In the series Armed/Luminous artist Jennifer Mehigan engulfs found images of burning buildings with layers of paint; at the base of each building, vibrant colors spring upward creating a visual distraction from tragedy. Taking an image that can bring forth unpleasant memories, Jennifer transforms it into a beautiful, abstract scene.
The following series is Various Kinds of Fire:

Artist: Michael Cina

The Ghostly Store offers another great visual artist. Michael Cina uses acrylic paint in a most unusual way, creating soft images packed with vivid colors which move across the canvas mimicking the effects of marbling; images that could be mistaken for interstellar clouds of dust.

Artist: Jenni Rope

Jenni Rope works in various mediums taking color and shapes inspired by man-built structures and nature to create abstract landscapes. And if you squint your eyes, your mind begins to develop the scene. Throughout her work the same shapes begin to appear as if characters themselves, escaping the canvas and showing up in her drawings, sculptures and animations. The hand of the artist is apparent throughout her work creating movement and texture.
See what happens when Jenni’s shapes come to life in this great little animation title Kiipeilypuu/The Climbing Tree.

Artist: Becca Stadtlander

As an illustrator, Becca Stadtlander creates images worth more than just a thousand words. She develops scenes and characters of magic and intrigue. Plus her sense of color is magnificent; she can flood an image with warm tones without it being harsh or over baring (see Living Room below). As a bonus you can purchase prints of her originals through her Etsy shop.
