peter howson

i'm not the biggest peter howson fan but i can't think of a better image to represent how brexit, whether leave or remain (fringe loons aside), has split the country

robin doyle

robin doyle has some sort of scattergun approach encompassing street art, graffiti, poster art and beyond. but really well executed and absorbing.

chiharu shiota

chiharu shiota defies categorisation. follow the link and just look at her stuff. amazing

costa dvorezky

not what i'd usually look at whatsoever but i was captivated with costa dvorezky's bodies in space. i love the super traditional technique he's using for his figures juxtaposed onto an abstract space. sublime.

the comet is coming

nathalie boutté

i'm guessing this is an earlier work by nathalie boutte as she seems to be more into portrait work these days. or maybe this is just a detail. whichever, i'm liking it.....

hubert tereszkiewicz

apparently hubert tereszkiewicz works mainly in design and just knocks out linocut portraits on the side. which, if you've ever done linocut, is astonishing. i can safely say no linocut i ever do will match the skill (or patience!) on display here

elizabeth lecourt

 i absolutely adore these from elizabeth lecourt and i can't imagine just how tricky it must be to actually make them

the brian jonestown massacre

alexey kondakov

 it's true there's a lot of these juxtaposed images around these days but, for me, alexey kondakov does it better than most

eastern youth

toshi yoshida

i can't believe i haven't had toshi yoshida on here before. i just assumed this would be a double post! looking at his earlier work you'd be forgiven for thinking this was made by another toshi yoshida. but he moved from his more representative imagery to abstract forms taking all his skills with him and achieving something else entirely. easily one of my favourite printmakers

neil shigley

there's always that niggle now when you're looking at images like this that here's an artist making art from the lives of the less fortunate. obviously the stakes are even higher when that artist is whote and male. even so, i'm thinking neil shigley hits the target here and shows a humanity in his subjects and a compassion that's all too easy to miss as we walk by the ever increasing numbers of people dropping through the cracks in our societies. and i love a big print!

debra fritts

i do love a head with a big halo round it. and, as ever, i do love seeing other people making objects that i couldn't if i had a decade of sundays. debra fritts ticks all the boxes

cecilia paredes

it's unfair to call cecilia paredes just a photographer because her work contains so much more. a true multi media artist

boris groh

don't know much about boris groh but i do love these mournful giant skeletons.....

amyl and the sniffers

negro terror

los fabulosos cadillacs

ebon heath

so you could describe ebon heath as a letter artists, a sculptor, a paper artists or something else entirely....

job wouters

 job wouters is described as a letter artist. whcih is accurate bur doesn't describe the half of it

aaron van der bosch

george lafayette

there was a time when i might have said figurative sculpture wasn't my thing but there's just so much skill going on here from george lafayette

wojciech fangor

some proper monday colour from wojciech fangor

ruth clotworthy

ruth clotworthy's work is so different from anything i'm doing just now i just find it bold, adventurous and an inspiration. and joyous!

ishibashi yui

i'm probably less comfortable with ishibashi yui's work than i was with yesterday's post. explanations aside the execution is fabulous

taras loboda

taras loboda's relentless pictures of big eyed women are not my natural inclination but the physicality of this big slab of red just caught my imagination!

caddie weisenberg

i find myself being more and more taken by ceramics these days. caddie weisenberg appears to have no web presence whatsoever but images abound. happy googling!
