The post Joshua Davison Creates Colorful Flower Paintings With a Palette Knife appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Davison’s paintings are particularly captivating due to their sculptural effect. He starts off by adding slabs of paint, switching between oil and acrylic, onto canvas and then builds layers until an image of a blossoming flower appears. This causes the flowers to “pop off” the canvas.
According to Davison, one of the most important goals he aims to achieve in his creative practice is originality. He developed his techniques and methods without being influenced by conventional thought and strives to continuously explore his creativity.
“I believe the term original is very loosely thrown around these days and that true originality is incredibly rare but something that can be worked towards and earned,” Davison told Colossal in a recent interview. “The prospect of one day achieving truly original work is the single biggest motivator for me as an artist.”
Davison mainly exhibits his works in art galleries in his native country. Luckily, he also frequently shares them on social media so the entire world can enjoy them. Check out more below.

]]>Forman’s works mainly focus on polar ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, and raging waters of the Arctic Ocean. The focal point isn’t the effects that climate change had on these landscapes. The artist rather strives to show their beauty so the viewers are aware of what’s at stake.
“I draw as much precise detail as I can in order to transport the viewer to a place that is otherwise distant and abstract,” Forman shared with The New York Times. “I convey the beauty of these vulnerable landscapes, as opposed to their devastation, to inspire viewers to help protect and preserve them.”
Searching for inspiration, Forman travels to remote regions of the world to see them in person. While there, she admires the fragile beauty and collects photographs to use as a reference in her work. Some of the regions Forman visited include Antarctica, Greenland, and Arctic Canada as part of NASA’s Operation IceBridge missions.

]]>Musil’s paintings radiate with a strange calmness. It is easy to get lost in their ever-changing skies, flower fields, rocky rivers, and green pastures.
Musil comes from a family of artists, making his life call somewhat expected. But even after attending art college, he pursued a career in technology, admitting that he never “had a lot of patience for painting” when he was younger.
However, he once again found a way back to art when he got older and discovered it gives him “happiness and peace of mind.”
“Nowadays, I have more wisdom, and I’ve grown to love the craft of producing a finished painting,” he explains on his website.
Musil works almost exclusively with acrylic paints as he likes to work fast and blend as little as possible. This technique allows him to be prolific, finishing one or two paintings each week.
Musil offers his paintings for sale through his website. He also regularly shares his newest artwork on his social media. You can check out more of them by continuing to scroll.

]]>The project sees Stevens reimagine movie classics and films he likes as worn-out paperback books. His works are quite interesting as he manages to capture the theme of the movie efficiently with the use of mostly minimalistic design solutions.
According to Stevens, he got the idea for this unusual passion project after using a similar idea while working for one of his clients.
“(For) one of the pitches, we were selling a pretty modern idea but in a way that needed to look really old and worn,” he shared in a chat with Colossal. “I really enjoyed the process of putting something in a different context and thought I’d take it on as a personal project.”
So far, Stevens has given “old book” treatment to movies like James Cameroon’s Terminator, Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, and many more. Continue scrolling to check out some of the below.

]]>Artist Matt McCarthy is creating surreal photomanipulations in which he imagines cats as giants inhabiting our world. They are still adorable but seem like they could cause humans a lot of inconvenience.
McCarthy shows his giant cats blocking busy streets, taking over crowded beaches, and climbing tall buildings that they could destroy with just one move of their paw.
According to McCarthy, he got the idea for this unique project while observing his own cat playing with a bug.
“The idea initially came to me as I was observing my own cats when they were playing with a bug that entered our house,” McCarthy shared in a chat with Bored Panda. “I wondered how they would react if my wife and I were that small. They’re so sweet and cuddly that we tend to forget they’re apex predators.”
McCarthy’s works have found quite a lot of fans on the internet. His Instagram page has close to 130K followers, while his photomanipualtions can be found on all sorts of products, from calendars to T-shirts.

]]>The post Artist Manipulates Portraits From Old Masters in a Playful and Amusing Way appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>More than a decade ago, Hermes had an idea to manipulate portraits from Old Masters like Rembrandt, Anthony van Dyck, and Jan Jansz Mostaert by exaggerating the fashion choices of their subjects. He started giving them all sorts of masks, hiding their identity and making their garments even more lavish.
Hermes is amusingly creative with his manipulations. Sometimes the subjects have their collars multiplied, or their hats and headpieces become overwhelming.
Despite his manipulations giving old portraits a playful and amusing twist, Hermes also aims to encourage viewers to look at the painting in a different way.
“If I now exaggerate such a hat in my interventions, blocking the access via the face, the focus changes, the viewer is forced, so to speak, to look at the painting under new aspects, taking into account the meanings that determined the painting at that time,” he explained in an interview with Colossal.
Hermes’ portrait manipulations have become quite popular in recent years. Some of his works have even been exhibited in museums, paired with the portraits they were based on. Check out more of them below.
