Moonassi

I'm not a die hard fan of art but I do enjoy looking at artworks from talented people. I like seeing artwork that is different and at times, hard to unravel. I've become very drawn to artwork that involves the most minimal amount of work -ink on paper. To me it's raw talent, it's the bareness of art, the simplicity of it. Its not gathering a bunch of colours and mixing them to get the perfect shade, its merely picking up a pencil and letting your hands take the wheel. 

I've been seeing a lot of Moonassi's art lately on tumblr but of course at the time it was just tumblr art to me, nothing more, but finally this week someone put the link up and within a couple minutes I was deep into the website. So, I thought I'd just share with you the idiosyncratic work of Moonassi. Truly truly talented.

p.s. there are a lot of photos with titles.

Harding Meyer

Normally I spend my days on my tumblr dashboard, scrolling and scrolling through endless pictures of people with impeccable style as well as poetry, quotes and the works. Today I decided to actually explore the paradise that is tumblr.

Instead of disposing my time by reblogging tons of photos I searched artists and came across the immensely talented Harding Meyer. I stumbled upon this artist's large scale oil portraits from his exhibition titled 'Likeness' which he debuted at Galerie Frey. The portraits' subject always has a deep stare which draws you into noticing not only the beauty in the portrait but the vibrant colours and geometric brush stroke technique that makes the portrait so stunning. He easily molded both dark shadows and bright lights into his portraits which gave a sense of character and personality to the canvas.

This is one artist I can't help but follow while exploring the beauty of art.
