]]>First of all, his skill is impeccable. So if you’re someone who truly appreciates art that can be backed up with refined technique, Howlett has got you covered. You’ll never be left feeling like you’re not looking at something truly professional.
Next, his vision and style is something special. If you’re someone who needs to be inspired by an artist’s mission, you may fall in love with Howlett’s. While his goal’s are somewhat open to interpretation, it’s clear he’s someone that focuses on surrealist art that makes you think.
For instance, Howlett loves painting portraits of living human giants, and he often depicts lying down in the wilderness with the mountains. The paintings truly are something like you’ve never seen before, and they make you question what it’s trying to say. Perhaps we, too, are all giants in the real world—but in our own special way.

]]>Based in Melbourne, Australia, McKellar found a way to combine her passions through her work as a graphic designer and illustrator. A lot of her projects feature naturalistic elements: elements like floral patterns and cartoon-like animals.
“I grew up watching Disney and more recently Studio Ghibli and reading picture books like Beatrix Potter stories,” shared McKellar in an interview with Pikaland
She then explained that these cultural references influence her chosen subjects and themes. These themes include “anthropomorphism (animals adopting human characteristics), humans with animal features and human interacting with animals.”
“I am very interested in the relationship and I very strongly believe animals should be given a voice,” she adds. “This is the reason I express these concepts in my work. It does make me smile looking at an illustration of a hare wearing a cable knit jumper or a gorgeous girl with a birds nest for hair!”
While most of her work requires a more functional approach (projects that include art direction, print, packaging, branding, and lettering), McKellar allows herself some room for experimentation with her personal projects. These projects might incorporate other mediums like embroidery, watercolors, and collage work.

]]>The post Gordon Cheung’s Unique Approach to Art Results in Amazing Paintings appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>According to Cheung, his unique approach to art “blurs virtual and actual reality to reflect on the existential questions of what it means to be human in civilizations with histories written by victors.“ The paintings he makes will often have hidden clues or references to global capitalism, human struggles with their identities, and more.
“These narratives are refracted through the prisms of culture, mythology, religion, and politics into dreamlike spaces of urban surreal worlds that are rooted in his in-between identity,” says the artist on his website.
Cheung also has a unique creative process. He uses a combination of acrylic paints, inkjet printing methods, and other materials to create his works, which often can have collage-like features.
Gordon Cheung’s art can currently be found in art galleries and museums across the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., and the British Museum in London. The artist also shares his works on social media. Check out more of them below.

]]>Bochis lives in Switzerland, but she’s originally from the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca. She spent most of 2019 living and traveling around Asia, and fell in love with art during this time.
The illustrated journal she kept during her travels was the catalyst of her creative journey. She used it to chronicle her inner experiences, and later started creating art “inspired by the magic of life and the human spark of love and creativity” and opened an Instagram account to share it with a larger audience.
Three years down the road, Bochis has over 700,000 Instagram followers under her belt. She also opened an official web shop where she’s selling the prints of her most popular illustrations.
Bochis is also a published author, and her book The Sun, the Sea, and the Stars features some of her best work in one place. Penguin Random House described it as a vibrantly illustrated book, which will inspire you to “trust the process, find comfort in new beginnings, and reflect on the beauty and magic that exists in the world around you.”

]]>The distinction is important. Berry’s unique artwork stands out first and foremost for its realistic essence: the dramatic, if poignant, ways in which he reinterprets the world around him. It is only upon further inspection that you notice his unlikely choice of material: denim.
“My work isn’t all about it being denim,” Berry further touched upon the subject in one interview. “And while it often looks at community, I also set myself the challenge of using denim in a way that it no longer looks like denim, it becomes photorealistic.”
Using layers of denim (in its many varieties and forms), Berry constructs a blue, melancholic landscape that often depicts the more somber sides of modern-day living (a woman gazing through a window, a bartender working idly).
The choice of material, in that sense, reflects the subjects themselves. “I love the material because everyone can wear it, and most do,” says Berry. “In general, the beauty about jeans is that you don’t need to be an expert to feel comfortable wearing it and enjoy the experience.”
It is this low-brow, down-to-earth quality that makes his “paintings” resonate with a growing audience.
As for the creative process itself, Berry compares it to that of painting, but with textile rather than paint. “I do what painters usually do, play with the light and the dark,” he reflects.
“I have piles of denim in my studio: my friends’ jeans, jeans from charity shops, donations from denim brands and mills. My warehouse is organized by colors and it is growing bigger and bigger, so I can use a lot of shades.”

]]>The post Artist Imagines Your Favorite Pop Culture Characters as Babies appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Using the Artificial Intelligence program Midjourney, Welsh creates illustrated baby versions of your favorite pop culture characters. This includes baby musicians like Eminem, baby superheroes like Spider-Man, and baby versions of Disney princesses.
These babies are the most adorable thing not only ever but also easily recognizable thanks to the features they share with their grown-up versions.
Welsh is one of the artists that fully embraced artificial intelligence programs as part of his creative process. He knows that some people don’t view it as art but believes the backlash against AI art is simply a product of people having “a lack of understanding of its use and how it works.”
“Every generation has a new set of tools that can replace older models. For instance, photography had backlash from landscape painters, and digital painting received backlash from photographers and traditional artists alike,” Welsh explained in a recent chat with Bored Panda.
Whether you are a fan of AI art or not, you will probably find Welsh’s baby pop culture characters irresistible. So check out more of them below.

]]>The post Sim Sim Draws Intriguing Urban Portraits in Her Sketchbooks appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Sim Sim gained recognition among social media users thanks to the intriguing portraits she creates in her sketchbooks. These intriguing works capture a moment of time, depicting subjects stopped in motion in urban surroundings. They can be seen gazing through the window of a bus, climbing an escalator, or simply walking down the street.
Most of Sim Sim’s urban portraits, which feature both pop culture characters and random people, are done using a charcoal pencil. However, the artist recently started adding some color to her works by experimenting with pastel colors. While more challenging than her charcoal pieces, according to the artist, these pastel drawings have a dreamlike element to them that makes them arguably even more powerful in the eyes of the viewer.
Sim Sim shares her drawings on Instagram, where she has 120K followers. She also offers the original pieces for purchase on her official webshop. Continue scrolling to check out more of them.

]]>While following the visual style of Baroque, Lorca deviates from this art movement in the subjects and scenes he portrays in his artworks. Most of the time, his paintings feature surreal and dreamlike scenes that remind us of things nightmares are made of.
For example, in his painting “Casita de dulce” (Candy House), Lorca paints a little girl that is standing in the middle of a room filled with what seems to be corpses. “The Eternal Life,” on the other hand, paints a scene that appears calm at first but becomes more dramatic the longer you look at it.
In a recent interview with Couer et Art, Lorca said that the goal of his art is to trigger different emotions in viewers, including beauty, fear, and affection.
“All paintings mean something important to me; they are a kind of diary of my psychic life, and that gives a symbolic meaning to my life,” he added.

]]>Launched by a British ceramic maker named Jen, this brand is based in Broadstairs, Kent. She mostly specializes in handmaking the tiniest vases that you’ll ever come across, which attracted over 10,000 followers to her Instagram in the past two years.
Jen fell in love with clay during her twenties and she’s been making it ever since. She believes that pottery offers infinite ways to enhance your life and home, always trying to focus on making ceramics that catch her imagination and that I she’d d like to have in her own home.
Whether it’s your favorite mug or a special vase holding flowers from your loved ones, Jen believes all pottery items have the power to become treasured ornaments in your home. That’s certainly the case with her miniature vases, and they’re so tiny that you’ll have to look twice.
Jen handmakes each vase on a miniature potter’s wheel, using either stoneware, porcelain, or earthenware. They’re between 1cm and 2.5 cm tall and can be bought as a set or on their own.
