I stumbled upon the art of Christer for the first time today. He is an awesome manipulator of photos with a great dark sense of humor. I love the repetitive occurrence of muted tones that perfectly set the mood for each witty piece of conceptual art. I like to imagine myself standing in each of these pictures. I like to pretend that each one of these is part of the real world. [...]

No better way to start off a weekend then with a creepy photo of a faceless man surrounded by the number 12. As you may know, I am a sucker for photo manipulation and the amazing work of Xetobyte is no exception. Norvhic Fernandez Austria aka Xetobyte is a self taught artist from the Phillipines. “My Favorite style of art is Surreal. I always try to express my thoughts, feelings, [...]

It’s not often that I get a chance to look at street art in person. One of many downfalls that come from living in suburbia. Kids in my neighborhood get arrested if they color outside the lines.  Thankfully Os Gemeos (The Brothers) twins Otávio and Gustavo Pandolfo are not from my neighborhood. What started on the streets of Brazil has now landed on the walls of museums all over the world. [...]

They manage to provide everything from a whimsical happiness in “Insemination” to an unbearable anguish in “Desperation”. Anton [...]

At first glance you may have thought these were photographs or perhaps digital art, but all of these are done with acrylic on cavas. A beautiful example of emotion and realism in traditional art.  Each of the people that Truls Espedal paints seems to have their own struggle. Each of these pieces have an energy that draws you in and after a prolonged period of staring tends to leave you speechless. Truls Espedal [...]

Not sure what to say about this one except that for some reason I really like these. All of the characters are connected by the odd need to where these 19th century underwater breathing apparatus’. I’m not sure rather these are meant to be a glimpse into the future or of a parallel dimension, but the contrast between old and new is compelling.

I have always heard that lighting is of the utmost importance when it comes to art work. If that is the case, then Carne Griffiths is right on track. He is a mixed media artist from the United Kingdom. Working primarily with calligraphy ink, graphite and liquids, such as tea brandy, vodka and whisky he draws and then manipulates the drawn line. After graduating from Maidstone college of art Carne served an apprenticeship [...]
