Angelina Wrona


Angelina Wrona blends Japanese anime, folk art, and representational styles to bring her dark, delicate subjects to life. She derives inspiration from her 19th century home in Merrickville, Ontario, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.

The peculiar feeling you get staring into her creation's eyes are rightly intended. Along with a deeper feeling of endearment for their sad little faces. Her collection is appropriately named the "Senti-Mental Dolls."

Pieces of Us and Them

Kate MacDowell hand sculpts each of her pieces out of porcelain, the reason she states "for its luminous and ghostly qualities as well as its strength and ability to show fine texture. It highlights both the impermanence and fragility of natural forms in a dying ecosystem while paradoxically, being a material that can last for thousands of years..."

MacDowell attended Brown University and has traveled all across the globe. In her travels, she taught in urban high schools, produced websites in the high-tech corporate environment, and volunteered at a meditation retreat center in rural India. She is quite worldly and eco-friendly. And her pieces say even more...

Alex Noble

Much more impressive in person, Alex Noble likes to keep it interesting, period! The website itself is more than enough to keep you occupied. Found through a fellow fashion blogger, I'm completely blown away by his 3D art. Mannequin's have never looked so deeply depressed and glamorous at the same time. Also, being obsessed with bird cages makes the below photo seem like a living room's dream come true.

If only fashion incorporated art like this more often...

Seymour

Seymour was born in New Zealand in 1981. He studied Graphic Design at Wanganui School of Design, specializing in illustration and I especially love this sculpture piece. He currently resides in Berlin and stocks his works in galleries worldwide. He also has a blogspot!
Thanks Melanie!

I know my fellow blogger will love the colors and avant garde-ness.

Manhandled.

Amongst what seems to be a chaotic mess of paint and distinct outlines and shapes, Antony Micallef has found that he can create a fiendish feeling with his artwork and sculptures. The dark undertones speak to the very core of a person and I especially love that some lines are more obvious than others. It leaves you with a creation of your own interpretation. While there are some that resemble a pre-scholars handy work, these embodied the essence of what art should be: Messy and imperfect. Human.

Fafi-licious!

Fafi was born and raised in Toulouse, France. Her strong influence in the graffiti world brought about a new trend in feminine stereotypes. They were first spotted on her hometown walls in 1994 and what makes it all the more lovely and hardcore is that she paints mostly with a brush and not spray paint. Rock on!

She is also known for collaborations in 2007 with MOB clothing line and MAC Cosmetics, along with numerous collaborations in sportswear and a collection of her own each year.

By the way, she has a BLOG!

Glamour Cheese

Tony Kelly is a Dublin-born photographer with an eye for 'transgressed boundaries' in the world of beautiful people and their 'ugly emotions'. In 'ferocious color' he executes his visions precisely and represents the fashion world the way we all wish to see it. Somewhat unattainable and a fantasy of skin, liquor, and smoke filled hotel rooms.
