Tristram Lansdowne is a Toronto based painter who mainly works in watercolor. I like his futuristic approach of combining architecture with nature. Again, these are places I would like to visit.
Pavel Tchelitchew
Bodies seen and unseen
Pavel Tchelitchew clearly was a seer of the unseen, a true visionary artist.
René Laloux
La planète sauvage
La Planète sauvage is a classic of surreal animation. But it’s far more than just dazzlingly beautiful, it holds many thought-provoking ideas to contemplate on.
Phyllis Galembo
West African Masquerade
Phyllis Galembo‘s pictures reflect the ritual adornment and spirituality of masquerade in Nigeria, Benin and Burkina Faso in West Africa.
Bruce Ricker
Primordial Splendor
The painter has a language which translates meaning to the viewer beyond that which the viewer’s experience can give.
Oscar Reutersvard
The Impossible Figure
Oscar Reutersvärd is widely acknowledged as the father of the impossible figure.
Freddy Mamani
Totems of Andean Futurism
His buildings are nothing less than an exuberant act of self-expression by Bolivia’s long-marginalized indigenous majority.
Vaka Valo
Dream Diaries
Schematic illustrations scanned from instruction manuals turned into unsettling nightmares. He achieves a dreamlike other-worldliness only reached by few artists.
Eyvind Earle
Master of the trees
Eyvind Earle is a master of contemplative landscape paintings. To me these dream-like sceneries are highly hypnotising.
Uri Shapira
Chemical bloom
The works of Uri Shapira expose environments of alternative truth, made of active metal vegetation and various chemical growths.
Emil Bisttram
And the Transcendental Painting Group
These seekers of the inner spirit in outer things, wanted to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world.
Klea McKenna
Automatic Earth
Automatic Earth refers to what I see as a ‘blue print’ that exists within nature; a plan within each organism to automatically generate a particular form or pattern that is then, inevitably flawed.
Moebius
Black & White work
When it comes to Moebius aka Jean Giraud (* 1938 — † 2012) it’s hard to make a choice what to present. His body of work is huge and versatile. My selection focuses on his early black & white work.
Beth Moon
Ancient Trees
Beth Moon has been photographing some of the largest, rarest, and oldest trees on Earth for the past fourteen years.
Gage Taylor
The Holy Grove
His meticulously rendered landscapes suggest a nostalgia for Eden and the availability of peace and joy through an expanded awareness of the beauty inherent in the land.
Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak
Storytelling from Borderlands of Worlds
Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak is a daredevil with a good eye and the guts to go beyond what meets the eye.
Isamu Noguchi
Playscapes
Noguchi fought for the reintegration of the arts toward some purposeful and social end, and nowhere was this more apparent than in its playground designs.
Bernard Durin
Beetles and other Insects
There’s a whole earth community that has nothing to do with human beings.
Michiel Schuurman
The logic of replication
The base of Michiel Schuurman’s graphic work is a certain logic – whether natural, scientific or historical. Geeky algorithms, natural…
J.D. Okhai Ojeikere
Sculptures for a day
J. D. ‘Okhai Ojeikere’s work captures the intersection of cultural tradition and personal expression.
Makishi
Death dances for living people
The western culture is devoid of meaningful rituals that help you grow through the stages of life. I think that’s the reason why I’m so fascinated when I find it in other cultures.
