Through the Lens
This Week in Photography
There’s an interesting development with photographers embracing romantic floral stills. Within these artistic floral gestures, there’s something bold yet delicate about them—even meditative. The end results of these photos are a pleasure to experience.
Trending
Bright Eyes
Artists have been cultivating a development of vivid imagery featuring bold colors and eyes. They speak to me on a number of levels; visually, they’re energetic and engaging. But also, they make a grander statement about vision, sight, and perhaps even how we view different worlds within our imagination.
Trending
Re-Shape
Shapes. Colors. Energy. These free form, jazz-adjacent abstract works function not only as well-honed art pieces, but also as great accents, anchoring a room with sophistication. Plus, they’re great conversation starters.
Color Story
Bubblegum Pink
This is a fun and powerful accent color. Bubblegum pink is a blend of dusty rose, bashful innocence, and a spark of youthful energy. The vivid hue makes a great feature statement within an art piece, and it can also add a perfect pop of needed color to an underwhelming room.
Artist Spotlight
Brian An Phan | Los Angeles, California
The surreal works of Brian An Phan strike a specific and consistent note upon viewing. Each of Brian’s digital works gives us a glimpse into a story of solitude and mystery, creating a portal into a world of quiet introspection.
