George Greaves

 

Surrealist artist George Greaves relies on bold, graphic shapes and plenty of shadows and patterns used in conjunction with fields of monochromatic color to create perspective and depth. His unusual cropping and angles bring to mind the work of David Hockney and Matisse, two of Greaves’ biggest inspirations.

Chyrum Lambert

 

Los Angeles-based painter Chyrum Lambert has many skills in his creative bag, and uses several at a time to create his art. Inks, dyes, stains, acrylics, waxes, epoxies, and oils are all painted onto paper or fabric before being cut apart with an Xacto blade, and reformed into a very organic feeling finished piece.

Marija Verde

 

Flora, fauna, and striking a pose – somehow artist Marija Verde makes it all seem perfectly natural. I’m really drawn to her loose, flowing style and the way she embraces the white space in each piece.

Die-Cut Photo Cards

 

These die-cut photo cards from Belle & Union are reminiscent of vintage matted photos, with no tape or adhesive necessary to secure them. The hidden message on each of the six cards is the sweetest little surprise. Choose from Honest to Goodness, Just My Type, No Place Like Home, Pretty As a Picture, Sweeter Than Honey, and Work of Art or opt for the box set.

Dan Gluibizzi

 

Portland-based artist Dan Gluibizzi relies on his own astute observations and ability to construct a visual collection to create his multifaceted grouped compositions. The way people hold a beer bottle, different aspects of sexuality, and how we curate our online personas are just a few behaviors Gluibizzi portrays in his paintings.

Klas Ernflo

 

Swedish artist Klas Ernflo takes a very graphic approach to his art, showing off an incredible understanding of color and pattern. Ernflo’s clean and simple approach to his work harkens back to a mid-century vibe with lots of curved corners and vibrant palettes that demand a second look.

The Chamomile Tea Party

 

Back in 2010 graphic designer Jeff Gates started remixing World War II propaganda posters with new text and altered imagery focused on the current political environment in the United States. It’s all done under the guise of The Chamomile Tea Party, and so far he’s created over 100 of them! What’s more, every single one is available for free high res download! Of course if you’d rather buy a print you can do that as well, right here.)

JenMarie Zeleznak

 

JenMarie Zeleznak creates work that’s introspective, emotional, and spiritual. The animals in each piece represent the self while retaining their own gestures and forms, all of this occurring in an in-between space that Zeleznak builds with watercolor pencils.

I need to establish physical and emotional intimacy with my process and subjects. Anxious mark making fills in my animal forms, as layers of gradients and nuances of color blend together. I meditate in these moments. I work with watercolor pencils in a manner both sensitive and crude, using my saliva and sweat, hands and fingers to manipulate the material onto paper. This personal and direct connection, much like caressing or grooming an animal, gives me the intimacy I need in the work as I bring the animal into being, inducing an empathetic response.

Reina Takahashi / #100paperbreakfasts

 

Last year, from April to July, paper artist Reina Takahashi asked the Instagram community to tell her about their favorite or most memorable breakfasts. From there she created 100 of them, entirely out of paper, in 100 days! Any anecdotes from the person who suggested the meal are noted in the captions on Instagram, where the entire project can be found under #100paperbreakfasts.
