Tadasky, also known as Tadasuke Kawayama is a fantastic Japanese artist renown for his paintings using the circle and a great use of color. His works are a blend of Op- Art and color field painting.

Tadasky was born in Nagoya, Japan in the year 1935.

In this very brief clip a view of the studio of the artist. Its a great to see the very large size of many of Tadasky’s work:

The artist paints with oils and acrylics.

price range information: Works range from $10,000 to $70,000.

Some influence on Tadasky include Josef Albers and the Bauhaus School.

What a great use of the circle! Another artist who works with circles is Amelia Caruso. Her work is not Op-Art based, but her freehand drawing and painting of circles and patterns of circles led her to receive some great commercial design contracts.

Dustin Yellin is a fantastic artist who makes 3 dimensional paintings in glass using acrylic paint. Dustin Yellin was born in Los Angeles, California in the year 1975. Yellin is a painter, collage artist, and draftsman who uses combines all of these skills when making one of his 3 dimensional works.

The artist moved to New York in 1995. He supported himself by performing street art.

Yellin uses a lot of glass in each work, even the smaller ones. In his studio we visit with James Kalm the artist tells us he had 15 tons of glass in his studio at the time of Kalm’s visit. Each layer is made individually and then layered upon each other to give the work tremendous depth.

The depth is best scene in his works with trees and forests. Many of these works are made just with one color of paint.

Yellin is now based out of Brooklyn, New York.

In this clip we visit the studio of Dustin Yellin with our art amigo James Kalm (from 2011) This clip is awesome because Mr. Kalm shoots images from the side and in front of the works so the realism and abstraction of each work is seen. :

Price range information: Sorry none available.

I enjoy the creativity of this artist. His acrylic trees are amazing! All the works in glass are so unique because they both explore the fields  of abstraction, color, and realism. A visual feast for our eyes!
