The Work of Loribelle Spirovski

With a number of high-profile awards and exhibitions, Loribelle Spirovski has shown herself as an artist to look out for. At times, her paintings look no different from a photograph, while others delve into the surreal. Sometimes there are abstract, surrealist and realistic qualities all within one portrait.

Born in Manila to a Filipino mother and a Yugoslav father, Loribelle migrated to Sydney and
earned a degree in Art Education from the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales. But when she realized that teaching wasn't for her, she began to paint. Social media played a vital role in carving her creative niche and helped her a lot in becoming a notable young artist on the international scene.

She often blends traditional methods with more experimental techniques. However, she admits that it is her childhood in the Philippines that has had the biggest impact on her art. Her debut solo exhibition in London at HOFA Gallery is nearing its close, but she has an upcoming Portraiture 2020 group show at Arcadia Contemporary in Los Angeles from January 11-30, as well as the LA Art Show early next year.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These grotesque porcelain sculptures might give you nightmares

Art doesn't just have to be colorful flowers, sunsets and unicorns – there is artistry in the grotesque as well. Jason Briggs , a Tennessee-based nightmare creator, makes surreal and fucked-up ceramic sculptures of the human body that exist on the boundary between horror and beauty.

Japanese artist En Iwamura creates adorable ceramic sculptures

Kyoto-born artist En Iwamura is showing his latest ceramic creations in a special show on August 31 at the Ross+Kramer Gallery in East Hampton, New York. En's sculpted objects, which he describes as three-dimensional clay doodling, exudes nothing but good vibes with their quirky, playful style. He consciously uses childhood influences such as manga and anime, and draws inspiration from both American and Japanese historical and pop-cultural references along with his own life experiences. Born in 1988, En completed both his BFA and MFA in craft from Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011 and 2013, respectively. His works have been shown in New York City, Seattle, Kansas City, Durham, NC, Japan, Canada, China and more. Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
