Jena Thomas
Paint is great. I love paint. But there's paint, and then there's paint. And Jena Thomas's paint is decadent. I just stumbled on her work the other day and just had to share. I wish I could see these in person in order to experience the density of the material on the canvas: the paint is thick which gives the already rich colors a real depth. They defy categorizing, really, as they seem to straddle a blurry line between abstract and traditional landscapes. I love the boldness, the unusual shapes and new vantage points on everyday scenes like backyard pools and camping tents. This is the sort of painting I have an almost visceral reaction to: the rawness of the paint itself adds an amazing amount of depth to what is ostensibly just the surface of the canvas. Check out her website -- her portfolio is consistently wonderful. I'm putting Jena Thomas on my list of artists to keep tabs on...

The art of Karborn
"I'm not a digital artist. I'm not an illustrator. I'm an artist."
I want to share with you Karborn a.k.a. John Leigh, London-based multimedia artist. He's an enigmatic guy with a splendid and large portfolio. His work is very graphic, edging on illustration one moment, seizing the urban environment in another, following a thread through digitalization and college and film and pop culture the next. Some of his work has an almost ethereal quality while at the same time a bit jarring. Depth is uncertain. The collage aspect of a lot of the work defies that there are segments that take the viewer back into space, or deep into, perhaps, nothingness. The enormous void of the digital age? The void of perception? (Who's to say?)
Love it. Check out some of the images here, and be sure to check out his Cargo Collective page where you can see a number of films and additional images.
