Niki Pilkington

Niki Pilkington is from Wales, UK. She is 22  years old artist. Her works are really similar to the Marynn’s works. The difference is probably in shadows and Niki Pilkington usually adds some 3D elements to the pictures. I really like it because it has interesting visual.

Here is her Facebook page.

Kayleigh O’Connor

Kayleigh O’Connor is one of the craziest nail art creators. She is good at nail art. “The 24-year old student from Birmingham, spends hours on each design and some of the ones in her portfolio include Batman, Snow White, Dr Who, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Austin Powers and Sesame Street fave Oscar The Grouch to name but a few!



She explains that she sees her nail art as temporary tattoos and is grateful for the platform to express her fandoms, exclaiming that otherwise she would probably be “covered” in tattoos. “

I don’t think that drawing on the nails is Art. I think that Art is more difficult work than just drawing a small picture on the nails. However, I would say that some of the nail makers are artists and their works are Art.

So, I would say that Kayleigh O’Connor’s nails work is definitely a type of art. It is really hard to draw on such a small space especially detailed pictures. She is very good at it. She is making not just nails, but art with details, some form, and even emotions. For example, the art nails with Snow White. When I look at the picture of Snow White I see that she was a protagonist (positive character) because she doesn’t have any sharp details. I also like that Kayleigh O’Connor drew her profile because the picture became more interesting and original. You can also see that the second figure (stepmother) is an antagonist (negative character) because the picture is all kind of sharp which is associated to the negative things.

Actually I would never make the nails like Kayleigh O’Connor is making because it is really uncomfortable to wear them and it is going to be ruined really quickly.

Comment, describe, and share :D

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..
