Marynn

Marynn is an pencil illustration. She was born in in Nantes, France. She is 20 years old. That’s all what I found about her, but you can read more here.

I love her Art! She compares the realistic drawing with imagination. I also like the emotions of Marynn’s characters. For example, the girl with a “juice”. She has a really realistic face, but the crown is definitely doesn’t look realistic. The girl looks like she is trying to look older. However, the crown, dress, and blush on her cheeks show us the opposite side.

I hope that you like Marynn’s works :D  Write in the comments all what you want to share with us!

Kris Lewis

Kris Lewis is an American contemporary realist. Was born in 1978, Jackson Township, New Jersey. His work were in the publications Juxtapoz and Modern Painters. He is usually using oil paints.

I like Kris Lewis’s Art because he has some emotions in his works; he draws all shadows and glare, so the picture looks realistic. He is also has pretty a lot of details. I like to look on the pictures and find something new in the pictures (details, emotions, or ideas). He has that kind of pictures. When I look on his Art I find some new emotions. It recharges me and gives different emotions.

I hope that you like his Art as much as me.

Agnes Cecile

 Agnes Cecile was born in 1991 in Rome. This is everything that I could find about her. That is sad because I want to know more about her. However, you can watch a video of Agnes Cecilie drawing on youtube.

 

I really like her works because I can really feel the 
emotions as I look at the pictures. She explores ideas in her drawings, as some of my most of my favourite artists due. For example, the girl with ropes looks like she wants to play with you, but her face also looks tired and wise. I thought about the meaning of this picture, but I still don’t know how to explain my thoughts. I have associated it with peace.

I really like her work with colors. She is using a lot of colors, so the picture looks realistic. I want to work with colors as well as her. I also like the expressed emotions on the faces of the people. It is hard enough just to draw the picture, but drawing it with deep emotions is even harder; only by looking into her eyes you can understand the nature of the person. I really want to improve my skills on the same level as Agnes Cecile. I would say that even every color drop looks perfect on her pictures.

Write in the comments what you think about this picture or about Agnes Cecile in general. I am waiting for your comments.

Banksy

Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter. He was born in Bristol. His art is clearly the work of a passionate individual. He has affected the art world from Australia to the US and nearly everywhere in between. 



He is a really good street artist. I really like his works. I couldn’t find a lot of information, though, because he is secretive. We actually don’t even know his real name, but we can find his works on the streets which are really good! He usually has idea or many ideas in his Art. He is really good at drawing shadows. So, the pictures look realistic.

Let’s discuss the picture called “Grey ghost”. You can see a boy that is drawing beautiful flowers and a man with face in a shadow that is painting the
  flowers in a grey color. I chose this picture not just because of the idea, but because of the shadows and realistic way of drawing (the picture looks real). It is really hard to draw shadows in a way that picture looks realistic. However, he does a terrific job.

This picture recalls the Soviet Union to me, and a time when people couldn’t stand out. The government (ghost) destroyed everything and everyone who wanted to stand out or who already did. Of course, that is just my interpretation.

What do u think about his works or about Banksy in general? Have you already heard about him? Write in the comments everything that you want to share with us. :D

Andy Warhol

You probably already know this artist, but I am still going to tell you about him. So, ladies and gentlemen: Andy Warhol. He was an American artist who was a leader of the pop art movement. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement. He was born on August 6, 1928 and died on February 22, 1987.

Andy Warhol is a really important artist. Even as a young boy, Warhol liked to draw, color, and cut and paste pictures. His mother, who was also artistic, would encourage him by giving him a chocolate bar every time he finished a page in his coloring book. During high school, Warhol took art classes both at school and at the Carnegie Museum.

Warhol discovered the blotted-line technique during college. The technique required Warhol to tape two pieces of blank paper together and then draw in ink on one page. Before the ink dried, he would press the two pieces of paper together. The result was a picture with irregular lines that he would color in with watercolor.

Around 1960, Warhol had decided to make a name for himself in pop art. Pop art was a new style of art that began in England in the mid-1950s and consisted of realistic renditions of popular, everyday items. Warhol turned away from the blotted-line technique and chose to use paint and canvas but at first he had some trouble deciding what to paint.

However, I can’t say that I really like his works. I didn’t learn anything new from them, though I like his works as pictures. I don’t like them as much as other artist because I think that he doesn’t have a lot of ideas in his works, and sometimes he doesn’t have any meaning at all.

For example, take the picture with Marilyn Monroe. It is just a beautiful picture without any ideas on it. But the Campbell’s tomato soup can has a meaning. “He drew the real Campbell’s can that produced in America by Campbell Soup Company. The company was started in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell. Campbell Soup became one of the largest food companies in the world under the leadership of William Beverly Murphy. Today, Campbell’s Soup Company, with its famous red and white label, remains a basic in the kitchen as well as American culture.” So, maybe Andy Warhol just wanted to show the part of the American culture by this can..

Here you can buy some posters and look at his works.

Marco Mazzoni

Marco Mazzoni is a really good Italian artist. I didn’t get a a lot of information about him. I just know that he was born in Apr 24th, 1981.

He often chooses not to paint the eyes, because he thinks they are a distraction and with eyes. So, the faces would then become portraiture, which he emphatically avoids, preferring to present to the viewer a ‘still life’ image, capturing a ‘moment when a woman takes control of all, in harmony with nature’.

I like the way Marco Mazzoni draws the shadows and the colors that he uses. I also like the combination of women and animals or flowers. The faces and animals are linked by emotions. For example, in the painting of the screaming face of woman with ravens on the top, the emotions of the woman seem to fit with the ravens. Ravens are often used in horror stories and creepy poems. So, nowadays the raven is not a really nice sign. Also, I would say that she look like Medusa, but with ravens instead of snakes.

After viewing his works I have started to pick colors more thoroughly, and I’ve even started considering using colors for shadows. Maybe you will take something from his works too!
