“Composed” by Australian artist, Jennie Rosenbaum. Small 10×12 oil on canvas, contemporary nude. Bronze hues.

2010 February 8
by discoveredartists

Link to Piece: http://bit.ly/84lyQr

Composed is the first in a new series exploring visible light. these figures are bathed in beams of light that reach around them, almost tangible in their caress.

Jennie Rosenbaum specializes in nude artworks and life drawing, with a twist. no live models are used in the creation of her artwork.

Using 3D modeling, Jennie morphs, textures and poses her figures then lights them, creating realistic renders that she then uses as a reference in her paintings and drawings.

She starts out with a rough sketch, then shapes her model to look exactly as she sees in her mind’s eye. by using 3D modeling, Jennie is able to have complete control over the model’s look, complex lighting and angles that wouldn’t be available in a conventional studio. She often spends hours getting the angle on a light exactly right to ensure a shadow falls in exactly the right way.

This piece is Oils on Canvas painted in Jennie’s signature ochre technique using layered washes and strategic removal of paint to create a wonderful three dimensional look and a strong emotional feel. The light is glazed in traditional oil painting technique so that it glows and leaps off the canvas. This piece is so rich and warm with a lot of depth and subtlety, sweeping curves and beautiful soft lines.

“Peace” by Miami artist,Kurt Merkel. 54×42 heavily textured,Mixed-Media: Polished aluminum, acrylic on Birch Veneer.

2010 February 4
by discoveredartists

Link to Piece: http://bit.ly/axALy1

The character for ‘Peace’ illustrates
a vital principal in classical Chinese thought –
the principal of balance between opposing forces.

When there is equilibrium among humans,
then nature and the heavens are balanced,
and peace prevails.

The character can also be interpreted
to represent a balance of power:
Equal shields on either side lead to peace.

Heavily textured, Mixed-Media: Polished aluminum, acrylic, polycrylic on Birch Veneer.

This painting is one of the first in my Waterfall Series. Water is representative of infinite time, never ceasing to flow. The Waterfall is visible via the heavily textured, clear gloss polycrylic… adding a very real sense to an otherwise Surreal painting.

Now Featuring South African Artist Grady Zeeman on DiscoveredArtists.com

2010 January 25
by discoveredartists

Being a South African artist, I experience my art as a voice, expressing my innermost joys and fears.

I am very susceptible to emotions and use this attribute to observe people, their experiences and that of my everyday surroundings. During my studies as fashion designer, we did a lot of figure drawing and this love for figures will always be part of my artistic expression. My art has also transgressed into sculpting, hence an immense adoration for Auguste Rodin.

I mainly paint with oil on canvas and work from my own photographs, my models mostly being my children or husband. As I constantly seek wisdom in life, so I do in my art. I continuously study the great artists like Monet, van Gogh, Gaugin, Renoir, Modigliani, Picasso, Salvador Dali and the German expressionists.

By not only studying their art, but their lives as well, I am united with these wise souls on a deeper level that transcends time and space. This, as well as the vibrant African sun I am exposed to, inspires bright colouring in my paintings and allow me to portray both the fragile and the bold. My dream is that through my art I can change the circumstances in South Africa. That all South Africans can live in a respectful, corruption free, safe environment.

DiscoveredArtists.com’s Process of Curating the Online Art Gallery

A detailed look into how DiscoveredArtists.com curates the online art gallery.

Now featuring Romanian Surrealism painter Octavian Florescu on the homepage of DiscoveredArtists.com

2010 January 18
by discoveredartists

Octavian Florescu was born in 1957 in the Southern Romanian town Craiova. In 1978, he interrupted his university studies in engineering to become a full-time artist painter.

He has studied church painting and restoration for five years, which gave him the opportunity to learn and master all painting techniques from the ancient fresco to the contemporary oil and acrylic.

The influence of the Byzantine style is noticeable in all his work. In 1989, while in Hungary, he completely dedicated himself to surrealism that allows him to best express his ideas. Over the past 21 years his paintings have been widely exhibited in Austria, Canada, France, Hungary, Mexico, Romania, and the USA.
