Do not adjust your web browser, these distorted watercolor and gouache portraits were painted just as they appear by New Zealand-based illustrator Henrietta Harris who says her style “can only be achieved by having occasionally dipped one’s paintbrush accidentally in one’s coffee.” A pretty apt description for these dreamy portraits that seem to convey the precise moment when one becomes lost in thought or memory, an ethereal wind of distortion whirling temporarily through the subjects’ mind.

Marlène Dumas, Chlorosis, 1994, MOMA. Marlène Dumas est une artiste Hollandaise, originaire d’Afrique du Sud, et née en 1953. En 2001, elle participe à l’exposition « Féminin-Masculin, le sexe de l’art » au centre Pompidou. Ses thématiques En effet dans ses toiles, elle représente le corps humain pour traiter des thèmes existentiels de la vie comme : la naissance, l’amour, la sexualité, la religion, la violence, la mort, mais aussi le racisme et l’Afrique. Ses œuvres sont donc très chargées en émotions (enfants malades/corps torturés), et ses portraits sont mystérieux et ambigus. Elle questionne l’esthétisme, et son but est de briser les tabous de la société contemporaine en peignant des œuvres provocatrices. Son travail - description et caractéristiques Ses dessins se rapprochent du mouvement expressionniste. Elle travaille d’après photos, d’images (qui peuvent êtres pornographiques), issues de magazines, de cartes postales, ou bien de sa propre production. Elle peint avec une palette de couleurs délavées la plupart du temps. La composition est simple : le corps est l’unique chose qu’elle veut représenter (décor peu travaillé/absent). Mots et images sont logés à la même enseigne. Il n’y a aucune pureté à protéger. Actuellement mon art se situe entre la tendance de la pornographie à tout révéler et le penchant de l’érotisme à cacher ce dont il est question.

Love! Enjoy the stunning paintings by the young Italian artist Silvia Pelissero (best known as agnes-cecile).

Lean on Me, 6 x 6 Back at the daily little warm ups, and loving it. I was energized yesterday by some really good and eager painters at a one-day workshop I taught here in Atlanta -- it is just great to be with others on this quest to say more with less. Tonight my husband and I were at dinner, and I told him how much I have come to appreciate the art life that I'm now experiencing, which has truly unfolded in a magical way!

Through delicate washes of peach, aqua, and smoky gray, St. Louis-based artist Ali Cavanaugh (previously) renders watercolor portraits that lay her subjects’ spirits bare. “I’m continually searching for something complex in human expression,” she tells Colossal. “Curiosity, sadness, wonder, hesitation, peace, and acceptance all in one glance.” Cavanaugh paints her dreamlike works on wet clay panels, allowing the bright backdrops to illuminate the translucent pigments. The resulting works are introspective and intimate while simultaneously harnessing the universal experience of the sublime. More
