Shawn Huckins is an American painter living in Denver, Colorado. He studied architecture and film before focusing on painting with inspiration from 18th century American neoclassical painters to 20th century pop artists. His work is developed like a contemporary discourse on American culture. He is known for The Paint Chip Series featuring several large canvases painted to resemble various color swatches and incorporating some mundane image drawn from the everyday.
Kevin Cyr is an artist from New-York City who creates contemporary installations and oil paintings mostly about vehicles and mobile homes.
With some realistic old fashion representation he did these great van series. His large-scale installations also explore the idea of shelters and mobility, like ‘camper kart’ a twisted pop up camper constructed out of shopping carts.
Catherine Olivier is a French artist with a nice style. She studied Fine Arts and worked as an Artist in residence in different countries around the world. She now turns to work in the illustration field with beautiful blurred drawings and complex colors. Perfect for cultural subjects.
Julie Luzoir is a French artist showing some nice drawings in a spontaneous style and great design of books. Enjoy.
Sannah Kvist is an artist, freelance photographer and photo editor based in Gothenburg and Stockholm, Sweden. She has great series of pictures shot on familiar landscapes or with friends. I noticed the series “all I own” in which the participants, who are students born in the 80′s, compose a sort of natural set with all they own. This reminds me of “Material world, a global family portrait” a book by Peter Menzel (1994) who captured the material life of average families around the globe, offering extraordinary images of families in front of their dwellings with all of their possessions. Sannah Kvist is refreshing this idea with an intimate look on students in her country.
Raphaël Dautigny is a French photographer who just has updated his online portfolio. He has very interesting portrait galeries but his portfolio is also composed with great series. “The surf” is an original work about surf sessions, giving a particular importance to landscape with a distant point of view.
Claudine Doury is a French photographer based in Paris. She works on very beautiful series along her travels, witnessing the life of her daughter and friends “Sasha” or people she met like in « Peuples de Sibérie » in a sort of road movie. If you take a few minutes you’ll discover a very delicate and human sight, Claudine Doury has a particularlar skill to show the intimate issues (or questions) of teenagers, these portraits that may seem cold are, at least, very sensible.
Claudine Doury is represented by Camera Obscura Gallery in Paris and she is a member of VU agency.
