Curating Colour - 4th Edition

Hello Monday!
Hope all of you lovelies had a fine weekend!

I'll thought I'll go back to the tradition of having a Curating Colour  post on a Monday, it's a good thing, I think, to start the week with a little colour right?






Those impressive abstract paintings of Michelle Armas are so beautifully haunting. To me they look like fractions of my dreams. Bursts of colour that are at the same time wild and harmonious and have so much energy, passion and happiness in them

Find out more about Michelle and her art on her blog and shops: Big Cartel // Etsy





Another set of beautiful abstract work, but in a very different form, is the one coming from k19studio:






k19studio is a German based art studio that started with the idea of creating original art that is accessible to everyone. They had made a dozen of series of original geometric paintings that are executed in the technique of acrylic on canvas or aluminum, in high quality and an affordable price.
I especially love the Semi-Transparency series.

See examples of their artworks here. They look even more stunning hanged on a wall!

Have a wonderful, colourful week friends! Galit x


P.S. Talking about affordable art, if you haven't yet, do go and check out Buy Some Damn Art - an excellent source of original and affordable art by up-and-coming artists, which is the brain child of Kate Singleton of Art Hound.

Curating Colour - 3rd Edition

Happy Monday friends! hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend!

Out abstract colour comes today from Siggi Eggertsson.
Siggi was asked to make four different christmas ornaments for an exhibition in Hong Kong in 2005. He ended up drawing four abstract atomic bomb explosions he called Colorful Dream.
I love them tremendously.






If like me, you can't stop looking at those amazing works, prints will be available in the next couple of months in Siggi's shop.
Check out the rest of his website for more clever, fantastic works.



When I grow up I want to illustrate like Ana Albero.
Ana works primarily in graphite and colored pencil. Her vibrant colours and rich textures are so excellent, but most of all, I can't have enough of the glamorous, delicate ladies and fine gentlemen she draws.

Curating Colour - 2nd Edition

Hello lovelies and happy Monday!
Hope you all had a refreshing and relaxing weekend!
Shell we start the new week with some bright colour?
A wonderful start is Chile-based artist Grace Weinrib’s Rainbow Machine series, which is an eye explosion of bold paint strikes and wonderful colour tones. Her brush work is absolutely striking.




Check also her beautiful series Twelve Versions of Home (via Design Milk)

Totally different from the abstract, bold paintings of Grace Weinrib, are the exquisite, delicate and pretty illustrations of Aino-Maija Metsola.
Aino-Maija's work is so diverse - from textile design (she is one of Marimekko's designers), to folklore inspired prints, graphic design, and illustration for a children’s books. One thing which go along all of her works is her fascinating use of colour.






Have a great week everyone, full of colour and inspiration!

Curating Colour

It has been more than a week here since we last spotted the sun.
I'm sure it is there somewhere, but as far as the gray sky looks like, there is no clear evidence.
I love the winter. The last couple of weeks were glorious, but I desperately need some colour!!

Lucky us for artists like Kirra Jamison and Courtney Price that use the whole spectrum of colour in their works.

Those five works are from Kirra's series Love Me Two Times. I find them so inspirational in term of the fabulous colour palettes Kirra is using. They also have such a strong pattern identity to them which made me imagine them printed on my beddings. Wouldn't it be fantastic to snuggle under a blanket printed with one of those works? I'm sure it will cause a totally magical, wild dreams.

Courtney Price's series Rectangular Objects uses colour in the totally opposite way than Kirra Jamison's soft organic shapes; the works are geometric, using very bold and distinct colour.

Works: Hot Pink // green-gray-gold // green-yellow | green-blue // Blue


Hope the sun shines at your part of the world! Have a colourful day! x
