Meghan was born in Haverhill, Massechusettes in 1985. Her paintings are often dreamlike, and yet carry a weight of something that is slightly more dissonant. The question of whether something is safe or dangerous, loving or hateful, is often unexplained in her work. While conveying a situation or mood that is slightly ambiguous, this makes it up to the viewer to resolve what is happening, creating an unending range of emotions and possibilities.

UK-based illustrator Ed Fairburn creates portraits on maps, incorporating the roads and other map features into the likenesses. Ed explains his work by saying, “I paint, draw and construct using a flexible range of tangible media across a wide range of surfaces and contexts, allowing my practice to exist across various disciplines. The work I produce is largely self-directed, allowing me to explore a wealth of ideas and concepts which need to be realised.”
I’m a fine artist, based in England and I am developing my skill at painting in my home studio. I mostly use oil paints on canvas and I tend to work in very few sittings. Sometimes it can take weeks to get a painting right and other times it can be done in a few hours.
Galyna Shevtsova is an artist who works not only in her studio; her space is not limited to a room. She has small equipment to draw sketches and etudes everywhere. The inspiration comes from everywhere when you're out for a walk or chatting with friends in a coffee shop. But it also happens that she draws with children who have come to the neighbor's house to see what's new with the artist and to be the first viewer of her new artistic selection.

About David van der Linden 'Monade Daydream' 100 x 100 cm Oil on canvas Black wooden frame is included: size 115 x 115 cm David van der Linden is a Dutch artist who studied at the ' Classical Academy of Arts' in Groningen. He also went to St Petersburg in Russia to study at the "Imperial Academy of Arts'. There he got overwhelmed by the possibilities to work with color in skin tones. He likes to paint in warm color to show the heat off skin tones in summer light or the cold tones of skin in winter light. He mostly paints young boys during their period of 'becoming a man'. The wondering about their bodies and the bodies of others. Boys can be beautiful and proud, they also can be beautiful and unsure about who they are and what they want to show off themselves. In his paintings David tells a story, his own story portrayed by boys who are on the turning point from childhood to adolescence. The titles of the paintings are titles of David Bowie's songs. For David, Bowie's songs during the period when he himself was the age of the models he now paints were 'daily fare'. The music and lyrics are often about making your own choices, being yourself, being 'different' or shaping yourself the way you want and not the way others would like you. 'Nude' in David's paintings is not only 'a hymn to youth' but also the equivalent of 'being yourself and showing who you are too'. The attitude, gaze and composition in the work together tell the story that the viewer can fill in himself. In addition to the paintings in which the youth plays a role, David paints 'movement'. The racing bike is central to this. It is no coincidence that this is what David prefers to do for some time every day in addition to his work in the gallery and painting. 14 Paintings by David were published in 'Your Daily Male' in 2019 and 2020. An International calendar in which art with men in the leading role is central. Paintings by David are now in collections all over the world. We ship worldwide for free in a custom made wooden box like you can see on the last picture. If there is need for additional information, feel free to contact us.
Palette knife paintings that reveal the coarse beauty of people.
This original painting is from around 2004 when I was heavily under the influence of surrealism. The sunset landscape is punctuated with groups of figures and a landform making an image of a face. There are a lot of unusual details painted into this scene This is one of the first paintings I made that experiments with a wildly colorful flow of abstraction within a representational image. Approximately 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall by 1 inch deep. Painted with acrylics on a gessoed canvas stretched over a wooden frame. Ready to hang.
