Cristian Grossi Fashion Illustrations

The Italian Graphic artist Cristian Grossi, has a minimalistic and modern approach to his illustrations. He's now ventured out into the fashion realm and applied the same approach, creating abstract designs with a distinct love for nature and magical folk tales. We're loving his style seen in the digital graphic works, handmade notebooks, and most recently, the vibrant scarves created for Pinko.  Website

André Wee - Forming and Fragmenting and Lineforms

André Wee is a 22 year old student of Rhode Island School of Design. He describes himself as a visual artist who is “sleep deprived from work but very oddly happy”. Considering the amazing quality of the work he puts out I say his sleep loss is definately worth it. He uses a variety of different medias from rubber bands and paper to Photoshop to portray human nature in an organic style. His latest two are titled  Forming and Fragmenting and Lineforms, and present the human face and body using computer programs and hand drawings.

"is a series of imagery that depict portraits that exist in an eternal state of transition. It is however, uncertain as to whether these figures are in the process of “forming” or “fragmenting” due to it existing in such an undefined state. This inability to define, ironically labels these entities as beings that embody the idea of a limbo. An experience of being of two different states at the same time and yet, not belonging to either."

Being so young and already on the radar of influential blogs such as Trenland is definately a sign that he is a talent to watch!

Yago Hortal‘s acrylic paintings

I wonder who was inspired by who, the fashion designers by Yago Hortal‘s acrylic paintings, or the other way around? . . . Either way these painting are amazing and really go with the colours of this season! I love his use of vibrant colours and the way he uses smeared and marbled effects on solid colours, creates for such a dynamic effect with lots of movement and energy. Check out his site for more details, definitely an artist to watch!

Melbourne artist Gavin Brown

Spring is in the air and flowers are on the screen, curtesy of amazing Melbourne artist Gavin Brown. We just love his, slightly sinister, bold paintings, that portray people and nature with organic lushness, and beautiful vivid colours.  Brown was bourn in Melbourne which has inspired his art with it's  richly coloured graffiti-like images of people and situations, where fleshy faces and tattooed skin compete for attention with birds, fruit and flowers.
