Abstracting the Abstract – Paintings by British Artist Julian Brown
Abstract art challenges our senses and offer a sense of discomfort or it can invite us in with a sense of warmth. Brown’s art does a bit of both. His warm, tropical colors are inviting, adding a vibrancy to any room. At the same time, Julian makes us question his work causing us to dig [&helli
Experiments in Shape – Paintings & Prints by Serena Mitnik-Miller
There’s an interesting element to artwork that has repetitive elements. The effect on the actual artist is more of a meditation, putting order on a canvas that has so many possibilities in terms of colour and shape. A process of cleansing that’s sure to give a sense of balance to oneR

Silent Poetry – Abstract Paintings by Irish Artist David Quinn
Art can be bright, vibrant and in your face or it can be neat, subtle and thought provoking. Some may argue that it is this more subtle art form that can be even harder to create.

The Simplicity of Modernism – Paintings & Collage by British Artist John Taylor
Collage has always intrigued me. The experimental nature of it, also the skill of being able to handle and combine so many different material. The starting point must be quite hard to approach from a creative standpoint. What material do you pick first? So for an artist to produce a finished piece o
Opposites Attract – A Study of Blue and Red by Haruka Aramaki
Blue and red. They are two primary, powerful colors. When used together, they provide a bold distinction that results in a stunning effect. The combination is one that inspired designer Haruka Aramaki in her latest graphic artwork creation. Aramaki featured her designs on small wood panels which mak
The Wide Open Landscape – Abstract Paintings by Clay Johnson
One thing I find so interesting about simplicity, especially in art and design, is that as you take away the obvious flaws become so apparent. If the colour is slightly off or the shape is not quite right, each element stands out so that there really is nowhere to hide. Abstract art is similar in [&
Reduction in Design – Minimalist Reliefs by Danish Artist Kristina Krogh
People often think of any art form as something that stops and starts rather than an ever evolving process. Take the work of Kristina Krogh for example. I posted this Danish artist’s work up in 2018, referencing the inspiration she had taken from Graphic Design to produce a selection of colour
Bold & Geometric Styles – Artworks by Jon Llewelyn of Formworks
When architect Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus his aim was to integrate painting and sculpture with design, and to make all serve architecture. So called ‘free art’ was recognised as a medium to explore new ideas, but the school’s emphasis on function never wavered and with the Bauhaus̵
In Between Lines & Shapes – Abstract Art by Maura Segal
It may be controversial to say, but I think in many ways we can thank industrial design for an overall reduction in design. Creating repeatable shapes and making it easier for machines to complete many of the processes that were once achieved by hand. Of course there’s value in handicraft too,
