Jeff Soto Illustrations: A Twenty10 Collection

Sascha Ehrentraut — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 14:53:41 +0000

I have posted him before and having looked at all his latest work I thought it would be fantastic to post a 2010 collection. Note that the below collection also includes work from his latest solo exhibition - LifeCycle. Enjoy!

Art by Vania Zouravliov

Psychological, physiological, provocative and I think quite brilliant.

Mateo Dineen

Sascha Ehrentraut — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 22:35:28 +0000

Originally from California, Mateo moved to Berlin in 2003. His artwork usually incorporates old materials that he finds on the street or at local flea-markets in Germany. Upon these box lids, munitions crates, tobacco tins, and street signs, he creates a world that seems to emerge from another time, or perhaps another dimension. His lovable monsters reflect ourselves back at us. Some display curiosity with a tinge of unease, while others have seemingly been caught unawares whilst having an everyday moment. Just about every image seems to tell a story and invites the viewer to imagine what might occur next.

Great artwork by Owen Smith

Sascha Ehrentraut — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 18:45:21 +0000

I love the way he exaggerate proportions and emphasise volume and movement. The 1900 to 1950′s figures crowd the frame and overlap each other in angular or swirling composition. He says he is often called on to depict scenes of sexual tension or implied violence. To which he added that it did not matter if the subject is serious or pure kitsch, his work is always about human interaction and isolation. I hope you enjoy his work. :)

Stacey Rozich and a beautiful Folktale

Alexandra — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 19:21:10 +0000

Born and raised in Seattle/Washington, Stacey tells stories of an early culture, where she explores the relationship between nature and animals. Her brightly coloured and ethnically textured characters give the viewer a sense of nostalgia, seem slightly frightening hidden behind their masks and at the same time appear familiar and inviting. Stacey draws inspiration from cultures all around the world. I love how she portrays her findings in such a fresh and beautiful manner. Have a look at her blog for more folk art.

Alexander Jansson – A mystical magical world

Alexandra — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 16:27:48 +0000

Working from his design studio “Sleeping House” in Sweden, Alexander Jansson creates mysteriously beautiful worlds where intricately drawn music vans fly through the air, cute characters play music and lively cities appear from the dark heavy mist. Although the artworks seem gloomy they evoke not feelings of darkness but rather feelings of life, light and music.

Istvan Banyai – Politics, social absurdities, american pop culture

Sascha Ehrentraut — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 20:22:05 +0000

Istvan is a very successful commercial illustrator and animator who gained prominence in the mid-1980s in the USA.

Its odd but I find his illustration unusually easy to visualize - flavor and setting. He seems to have a real knack for isolating the subject matter through clever use of colors and layout. Politics, social absurdities, american pop culture, war and sexuality are all things he infuses in his art. Enjoy!

Lovely Illustration’s by Mateusz Kolek

Sascha Ehrentraut — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:34:33 +0000

Mateusz has a playful feel to his illustrations but maintains an edge on his work through the subject matter. I like both the bright colors and the softer color sets which where used for the Coco Rosie pieces. I’m particularly fond of Tokyo Rain and Yakuza – almost ended up buying one of these pieces!

I hope you enjoy his illustrations as much as I have!

Nigel Cox’s photo-realism minimalistic paintings

Sascha Ehrentraut — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:45:30 +0000

His work is lucid and technically brilliant. I have selected 3 of Nigel Cox’s art works and you may see the rest on his site.

A tribute to the legendary Norman Rockwell – Happy Birthday

Alexandra — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:20:08 +0000

“Norman Rockwell was a 20th-century American illustrator. His works enjoy a broad popular appeal in the United States, where Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenarios he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over more than four decades. Among the best-known of Rockwell’s works are the Willie Gillis series, Rosie the Riveter, Saying Grace (1951), and the Four Freedoms series.” – Wiki
