Artist Of The Month: Beatrice Boyle

In case you haven't notice I'm a sucker for dark and twisted portraits. Which is a little odd because I don't do portraits myself but maybe that's why I'm obsessed with them and the artist that create them. Beatrice Boyle creates the epitome of the kind of art that moves me. It's very tortured and the lines of reality and perception are very blurred in her work. Every one of her illustrations is like a punch in the stomach or a slap in the face... emotionally that is. That's what I love, this is art that makes you feel. It makes me wonder about these girls and how the artist came to showcase these different emotions with each of them. Is it a glimpse into their souls or the artist's soul? Perhaps a bit of both.

Artist of the Month: Anders Krisar

I'm typically drawn to art that has a lot of color and abstract qualities but I like what I like and it all doesn't fit into categories or traditional mediums. Which is why I have to pick Anders Krisar out of a few other artist I've discovered this month because it's so different. Idk what the concept or ideas behind these pieces are but when I think about it myself I've come up with a few theories on the message behind them. What makes us who we are? Is it our skin? Is it what we do, or whats done to us? Is it our scars or our fears... What holds us together? Krisar's work is focused on parts of the human body but even as realistic as his sculptures are it's not the part that lingers with you. It's not the form of the object... the body parts. It's that everything is a part of us... the pieces that hold us together and things or people that try to tare us apart aren't usually visible when you look at someone those things take shape on the inside. I wonder what we all would look like if we had our own body sculpture pieces to show those things that have made us who we are...

My Favorite Artist: Joshua Petker

I love all kinds of art and am amazed and intimidated by the hundreds of artist I've discovered that are so lovely and creative. Out of them all Joshua Petker remains my favorite! Something about the way the emotionally charged colors and realistic female portraits come off realistically abstract, just has won me over time and time again. He got such a unique style. Each piece is haunting and mesmerizing. I've mentioned him before and I'll mention him again, cause Joshua Petker is freaking awesome!
