Bridge Leading Home | Richard Chandler | New York, NY
Bridge Leading Home

Oil on linen
Richard Chandler—New York, NY

I'm powerfully drawn to both the art of cityscape and that of landscape. While my paintings remain rooted in literal reality, they also reveal unseen forces that are continuously exerting themselves against the fixed boundaries of observed forms. Buildings undulate, skies and sidewalks are wildly dappled, and perspectives seem to head toward some extraordinary other-worldly denouement. Yet it all holds together in good order. Normal business is transacted without fuss or anxiety. The rhythms of nature continue to unfold in their timeless cycle. Figures, in fact, are not the least bit exercised by the cosmic forces electrifying their environments. A key message here: there is a relentless urgency to life, whether or not one feels it. For a moment, the veil is parted, and the hidden vibrancy animating the world is revealed.

Unicell | Xavier Divoux-Cailleres | Paris, France
Unicell

Traditional and digital painting (Gouache and charcoal on paper + graphic tablet and optical pen on Photoshop)
Xavier Divoux-Cailleres—Paris, France

The human eye perceives the surrounding world by processing a matrix of colors and shapes. However, all may not be what it seems at first sight. I use this in a modern approach combining traditional and digital painting to allow my work to be viewed from both near and far, the subject appearing from or disappearing into the abstract.

“From macro to micro, we are all the same, all different.”

Enroute Mars

Digital art
Lakshmi Venkatesh—Santa Clara, California

"Every step on the Earth felt like a step off it, closer to Mars, or something fantastic..."

The artwork is a part of a series dedicated to a few prestigious U.S. parks, based on the emotion that each place evokes. Souvenirs and photographs may remind the viewer of the beauty, but I want to transport the viewer to the magical journey that one experiences in these captivating places.

I am the artist who draws with my soul and five senses without being bound by common sense. The world of my artwork is "輪廻転生 / samsara" which is reincarnation around the lives of living things. The main artwork is paintings, video animations, installation works, and picture book creation. While I am creating, I wish that the power of expression and art will change the world and spread smiles in the world.
