So many stories of life to tell and years of emotions and intuition to pull from and use as inspiration to fuel your creativity. Working from intuition through many layers, you will learn how to create abstracts that are unique to you. Those are the pieces of you to pass on into the future, changing lives along the way.
©Ron Hicks "Wait, is that a Degas? A Cassatt?" is probably something Ron Hicks gets a lot. As a contemporary artist, Hicks' talent for blending Impressionist and abstract techniques will make you do a double take, as his languid, cafe lovers could just as easily be mid-embrace circa 1870 or 2017.
This evocative print captures the dramatic essence of Scotland’s famed natural beauty with an abstract interpretation of storm clouds gathering over Loch Lomond. With a palette dominated by deep greys, contrasting whites, and a spectrum of yellows, the artwork conveys the dynamic spectacle of light and shadow that dances over the landscape as a storm approaches. The artist has employed bold, expressive brushstrokes that bring a sense of movement and energy to the skies, with the clouds rendered in sweeping, gestural swathes of colour that suggest their swirling, ever-changing forms. Below, the serene waters of Loch Lomond reflect the turmoil of the sky above, with the use of lighter hues hinting at the loch's typically glassy surface, now disrupted by the imminent downpour. Hints of land and mountain are suggested rather than detailed, with abstracted shapes and forms giving only a suggestion of the rugged terrain surrounding the loch, allowing the viewer's imagination to complete the scene. Glimmers of gold and white break through the brooding colours, suggesting fleeting moments of sunlight piercing through the overcast sky, offering a glint of the loch's majestic and resilient beauty, despite the foreboding weather. This print is a celebration of Scotland's wild and untamed elements, offering a contemporary take on the traditional landscape that would doubtlessly serve as a thought-provoking centrepiece to any space it inhabits. Its abstract nature ensures that it will resonate differently with each viewer, making it a versatile addition to any collection.
Acrylic painting on Canvas One of a kind artwork Size : 100 x 150 x 5cm (unframed) / 100 x 150cm (actual image size) Signed on the front Style : Unspecified Subject : People and portraits When I am walking around in the nature, by investigating my path and my creativity, there is suddenly a spark that catches my eyes, that I can reflect to its shapes, texture, and colors. this starts a creative process in me. Then I will search for a female figure with a unique mysterious look, which can be best for me to draw and to paint, so all together can be reflect out of this process. After the digital process I start a process that is more traditional, by using acrylic, ink, graphite, color pencil, aerosol paints, and whatever that is necessary for the final result. Then put an over varnish laqa to protect as necessary. My art is integrating the beauties of the nature with a mysterious femininity that wraps it.

Adam Lupton holds his Bachelors of Communication Design from Emily Carr University or Art and Design, having graduated in May 2010. As a Vancouverite, Lupton draws his interest from that which he has known his entire life: the vast austerity of the matrix through the city. Lupton’s broad and wide-ranging interests provides the root of his visually artistic ideation. Having a keen interest in sociology and psychology, he combines his passion for popular culture, typography, philosophy, science/religion, and society to form the basis of his descriptive works. Lupton’s gaze explores psychological and sociological struggles in modern society. Painting in oil, blurring lines between realism and expressionism helps Lupton probe the internal and external dialogue faced in his multi-directional narratives. His recent series, “What’s In Store for me in the Direction I Don’t Take?”, pits moments of choice against the visualization of their outcomes: temporal planes coexisting on a singular surface. With the notion of quantum mechanics having every possible outcome to a situation realized in splintered universes, he paints figures with varied levels of connection to reality. When every single direction exists in varying parallel lives, our process of free will as well as concepts of space, time, fate, and self come into question.

Seoul-based artist WanJin Gim illustrates the form and gesture of the human body using complex hatched layers of color and dramatic lighting. He adds intrigue to poses that could be considered traditional figure drawing studies by adding abstracted lines and watercolor washes that integrate the fragmented body parts into a larger visual field. In an interview with Trending All Day, the artist describes his inspiration and process: I’m interested in expressing body temperature and skin smell and am studying the relationship between color and energy (Qi) for my work… Currently I usually use oil pastel and colored pencils.
