Abstract Drawings by Stephanie Kubo
Sure, this might not be the most sophisticated work Stephanie Kubo has on her portfolio – she also does beautiful typographic work, and highly detailed illustrative artworks as well. But I love this series because of its simple and bold lines of color. Stephanie’s use of color as gradient across these patterns is mesmerizing.
Silver & Light Wet Plate Photography by Ian Ruhter
This is an amazing example of dedication to hand-work and D.I.Y in an overwhelmingly virtual and automatized world. Ian Ruhter is traveling through the US in a van he had turned into a massive wet-plate camera. Watch the beautiful short documentary below, explaining the sacrifices Ian has made in order to realize this high-risk project – every photograph is a project in itself, with all sorts of elements potentially ruining it. However when Ian succeeds in capturing the shot, the results are magnificent.
Dreamy Photography by Samuel Pritzker
Samuel Pritzker captures mesmerizing shots that blend scenic photography with abstract and dreamy portraits.
Sharp Abstract Paintings by Phil Ashcroft
I love Phil Ashcroft’s incredibly sharp & precise style of painting in this series. His artworks seem to depict a surreal landscape being literally sliced through by chaotic, dark, and razor-edged shapes.
Mixed Media Artworks by Santiago Sepúlveda
I’m not sure what materials Santiago Sepúlveda mixes into his photographs, but his transformation of photographs into mixed media artworks is really magnificent. The chaotic paint strokes all over some of these shots adds a really energetic dimension to his portraiture, especially with the use of golden and highly textured materials – the effect is perfectly achieved.
Collage & Painting by Beth Hoeckel
Beth Hoeckel uses a combination of collage and paintings to create these great little pieces. I really like the way she seems to use the body-part cut-outs as a way of adding meaning and enigma to her completely abstract background. Beth also has a great photography portfolio well-worth checking out.
Métamorphose by Frederic Fontenoy
Fascinating work by Frederic Fontenoy. Produced between 1988 and 1990, this series captures body movements and contorcions at its most liquid state. Honestly I have no idea how these movements look without the long exposure – or even what the person looks like. The metamorphosis effect is so perfectly achieved it’s as if we are looking at some swiftly-moving boneless and living shape.
