The ever-growing in popularity Fred Tieken shows off his creative and colorful outlook in his most recent art exhibit, For The Birds.
Known about and first exposed to Fred and his very distinctive artwork at ARTELPHX, a huge installation showcase at the Clarendon Hotel, I still can’t turn away from his colorful and impressionistic work.
Stumbled upon through the power of the internet, I came across a fun and extremely creative illustrator in Victor Nunes with his cheerfully simple and detailed drawings. Utilizing household items to feature and toy with, not only is every drawing unique in itself in the scene they create, but each of the rubber bands, the pen caps, and even the whistles were used differently every time.
From first sight, Kendra Haste takes working with chicken wire to 3D level with her extremely lifelike and life-size animal sculptures. Captured in perfect motion, her sculptures take the true being of each animal and bring them into 3 dimensions.
Street Artist L7m is an animal himself when it comes to creating the abstract with his colorful and surrealistic spray-painted birds.
Using art as a tool to shed light where there’s darkness, BK The Artist is a growing master with his complex and creative compositions mixing together space, form and multiple interwoven outlines, delivering images that are not only left to be deciphered by the viewer, but unveil a broader story within the same piece.
Apparent up-and-coming Photographer Elizabeth Gadd is making a splash with her awe-inspiring and scenic based photography, moving her around the world to take some of the coolest photos of her friends you can take.
Daydreaming in her own mischievous but comical world, French artist Amandine Urruty’s busy graphite drawings are filled with strangely humorous characters just hanging out.
Predominately working within the installation art form, Nicole Yeoman’s classic blend of skewed perspective and dope photography make for some crazy cool art pieces.
Based in the UK, graphic designer and artist Chris Labrooy shows a bit of the impossible by twisting and bending pickup trucks into positions that’s something straight out of a Yoga class. Titled “Tales of Auto Elasticity”, Labrooy takes the idea of the custom car to a totally different level in this latest digital illustration series.
Thought to have work that lacks truth, vision, and any artistic integrity at all, Sebastien Millon sure does a good job toying with these bears, lemurs, and rabbits. With a comedic cluster of instances and one-liner situations, Millon and his critter friends are a fun reminder of how goofy we all look sometimes.
Since 2001, artist and illustrator David Zinn has cruised the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan, creating these funny yet temporary cartoon characters with nothing but chalk and charcoal. Improvising each piece to its spot and making use of found objects, street fixtures, and stair-steps to create trompe l’oeil illusions, these little monsters are eye-catching.
For this weeks Featured Artist Friday, instead of finding a different artist or a new exhibit from around the world, I decided to look in my own backyard and find an up-and-coming artist to show everyone. So for today, Augustine Tellez is that artist.
