The artist does a great job at communicating the inner emotions of people in her work. My favorite works are those models who appear to be meditating with their eyes closed. Also interesting her use of oil paints and resin, the layering of oil paint also gives her work a very lifelike and artsy feel.

What I enjoyed most about this artist was his sense of creativity and desire to create art just for himself, not for a gallery or client. The artist was given pencils and paper once a week, but he loved to create so much he would be out of supplies in few days. He would then trade for scraps of pencils and papers with visitors.
The artist works in many mediums including painting, collage, stencils, markers, and digital art. He is motivated in his own artwork by street art, graffiti, and aboriginal art.
Aryal is part of an art collective called ART LAB Collectives. The company designs murals, t- shirts, and runs their own exhibition circuit.
I enjoy his portraits the most. With its design of a big shape broken into smaller elements of color, I am reminded of the artist Chuck Close.
Roger Hilton was a English artist renown for his abstract works. The artist was born Roger Hildesheim, but the family later changed it’s surname due to anti German feelings after the First World War. Roger Hilton was born in Northwood, London, England in the year 1911.
Hilton attended the Slade School of Art located in London, England.

Though he was best known for his abstract art, later in his career the artist worked with the figure.

The artist won the John Moore Painting Prize.

Hilton was a wonderful abstract using many different techniques of applying paint and mediums. Though he is associated with the Abstract Art movement after the War period, I enjoy his animals and figure works he painted later in his career the best. These works have almost perfect combinations of realism and abstraction.

Below a longer interview with Mr. Cenz speaking about his work:
What I enjoy most about Mr. Cenz is how many elements from different styles of art are explored. Using letterform he taps into the great graffiti taggers of the past.
He often uses photos from fashion magazines for reference, but the end product is very modern looking female face. The abstract lines and his use of color gives his work a unique and futuristic feel.

I enjoy the Pop art aspect of Manumie’s art. Though he works with traditional Inuit motifs, the artist also pays homage to modern items such as stiletto high heeled shoes. From a design aspect, his work is similar in composition to Kenjuak Ashevak.

My favorite aspect of the artists work is the incredible feeling of three dimensions I find in his art. Another great aspect that comes from using found wood his automobiles looked worn and aged.
If you enjoy this style of work as much as I do be sure and check out another Dutch artist renown for producing the same type of wall reliefs out of salvaged wood that use shoes as the main subject matter, Diederick Kraaijeveld.
