Explore the purposes of art, get familiar with the genius artists that shine throughout history and get lost in the beauty of your aesthetic. There is nothing more powerful that art to transmit multiple emotions in a single statement, to catalyze political issues, to bring depth to a day and to illuminate the mystical in tangible terms. Art-obsessed me has learned a tremendous amount about myself and life from art. Sharing my art obsessions, hopefully you will find your artistic expression, a bit of inspiration or the key to unlock the aesthetic potential of your life!
The Warrior by Roque Deleon for sale at Saatchi Online
Cosmically charged art presents another universe to explore, a universe that expands the limits of your dwelling to infinity. While I am a huge advocate of staying rooted in the present and being grounded, if you lack an expansive sense of possibility, you will be stuck, bored and perhaps even struggling. When I came across the cosmic canvasses of Roque Alan Deleon- aka RAD Artwork- I had to share! Continue Reading…
Cy Twombly- in his urgent sketchy lines and drippy fluid flow- made his art quite rapidly though he deliberated for a long time over each work before he began to physically create. You can see the thoughtful chaos, the structured glamour and the drippy beauty of your own mind in his work. As his paintings and sketches gain structure in their watery, organic popping and racing, so can your thoughts. One of the main feng shui reasons I am an art fanatic is the ability art provides to both escape from and connect to your world simultaneously. Art is meditative, healing, inspiring and instructive. Oh, and hypnotically gorgeous at is best. Cy Twombly is a beautiful escape for the day! Continue Reading…
Saatchi Online is a mecca of art discovery that is well worth indulging in, so I thought to pull together a gorgeous Spring collection from their ranks that is visual poetry demonstrating absolute abundance. It is true lovely, so much fun and visually consuming all at once! Continue Reading…
I have been a fan of RETNA for years, and now, as the landscape of Los Angeles is everywhere kissed by a mural of poetry and power, it seemed time to talk about the poetry of artistry. RETNA created a typography and visual code that corresponds with letters in the alphabet, then uses his new language to write prose in what he has told me is mainly Spanish. The overall effect of a RETNA mural is an alternate universe where it becomes clear that communication takes many forms, and all are effective! Check it out! Continue Reading…

Every once and a while I find a curator online that can mix the old and new, the established artists of might and the fresh faces that are poking through the firmament. Jemma of Rustybreak is one such curator.
Art can provide a concrete vision of a fantasy or a feeling. It can instruct, it can illuminate, it can transform and it can simplify the most complex statements in a sensory statement. Great artists provide clear communication of even the most complex orchestra of emotions and sensations. Here are six artists that I just discovered while getting lost in the gorgeousness of Rustybreak who have an energy that thrills me. Continue Reading…
An Elizabeth Peyton exhibition opened at Regen Projects in Los Angeles tonight, and I caught it on Instagram. I do love her David Bowie. And I appreciate many of the small, jewel-like paintings. Intimate. Definitely intimate. Continue Reading…
“you’re never too young to dream big” seen on Beverly and Fairfax, Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles is prime amongst the cities of the world bejeweled with street art leaping from back alleys, telephone poles, building facades and other unsuspecting places like trash bins. Alexis Hyde, the art force behind Hyde or Die, the best & most relevant art blog on the Internet if I do say so myself (and I do!), has an eye for finding street art blooming in the urban landscape. Here are some of my favorites of 2012 to get you started looking for treasures in your own cityscape… Continue Reading…
Art can make or break your home and office energy. Since I am perpetually on the hunt for ways to bring you guys the best in fresh art finds, I am so excited to have discovered Pure Photo- a cross between Facebook and an online art gallery- where some exciting photographers connect, display and sell their photos. Of course, I had to find a perfect theme to share, and LA-based photographer Anyes Galleani lept out with her unique expressions of LOVE and UNITY through natural, hyper pigmented imagery. You have to see! Continue Reading…
