My artist links are to contemporary artists only and are very selective, and change as I find more artists. My goal is to help you sift through the huge mass of information on the web by presenting only visual arts sites that I think are excellent, both in content and presentation.

I have selected outstanding contemporary artists of all kinds, presented in no particular order within categories. Although most reflect my own preference for bold work and rich colors, I include artists whose work is nothing like my own, and whose work may not reflect my own preferences in art. Nonetheless, they are excellent artists that I think my visitors might enjoy.

Please be aware that I have not seen the original works and have no experience buying anything from these sites, and the business aspect is not part of my selection criteria. My selection is based purely on the images I see onscreen.

In some cases I speed things along by linking directly to the page I like; if you are interested in the rest of the site, you can always follow a HOME link on the site, or truncate the URL in the address/location bar to the domain name (.com, etc.) And of course, new links are being added as I find them and any suggestions are welcome. . .

You will find links to comprehensive Online Galleries and Ethnic Arts resources on my other links page, ONLINE GALLERIES.

Also, did you know you can do an image search online through Google? This is an extremely fast and efficient way to find images fitting the description you enter as keywords.

Artists in Two-Dimensional Media








Clemens Briels
(http://www.clemensbriels.nl/content.html)

Picasso meets Miro in brilliant color in the work of this intense, well-known Dutch artist. (8/07)


Richard Winkler (http://www.richardwinkler.com/the-tropics.html)

Go to the tropics: you never know what you might meet there! Some unusual beings amongst the lush vegetation. Strangely erotic... (8/07)


Cecil Touchon (http://cecil.touchon.com/collages.html)

Interesting, dignified but decorative non-objective works using evocative collage within geometric structures.  Elegant color compositions. (8/07)


Cheryl McClure (http://CherylMcClure.com)

Rich non-objective works in oil and on paper. The thumbnails do not adequately show the quality of the work, but fortunately the enlargements are quick and good. (8/07)


David Brady (http://www.bradyart.com/art.html)

Experimental symbolic and figure work, including work with digital and conventional media. The figure collages with found objects are particularly interesting. (8/07)


Robin Ann Walker (www.art-girls.com)

This site is an exploration in itself, with a variety of rich and interesting work, both abstract and representational. Sensual color. (8/07)


Mary Delave (www.marydelave.com)

A kind of figurative surrealism with the whimsy of Chagall and the bite of Picasso. Delightful and intriguing; lots of expressionistic and deformed figures and animals. (8/07)


Nikki Gulley (www.nikigulley.com)

Colorful expressionistic pastel landscapes (mostly), with a free and dramatic use of the media. The thumbnails are small, though. (8/07)


Robert Weatherford (www.rweatherford.com)

Landscapes and still lifes, decorative expressionism with a Van Gogh-like sensibility. Check out the florals and vases. (8/07)


Marco Vangelisti (www.marcovangelisti.com)

Vibrant, spectacular abstracts and non-objective paintings. Luscious oil on canvas. Site is fast and thumbnails and enlargements both excellent. (8/07)


Lynne Taetzsch (www.artbylt.com/)

Beautiful sensuous organic non-objective works with strong echoes of Miro, but more buttery and solid. (8/07)


Wosene (www.spiritsinstone.com/wosene/home.html)

The beautiful and delicate abstract work by this contemporary Ethiopian artist is reminiscent of both Kandinsky and Klee. (8/07)


Steve Kowalski (http://www.stevekowalski.com/Gallery%206/photoalbum_view)

This artist's uninhibited little cubist/expressionist figure collages bring Picasso into the digital age. (8/07)


Kay Wilson (www.KayWilsonStudio.com)

Very attractive, textural, somewhat geometrical abstracts, some non-objective and others based on travel scenes and textures or patterns. (8/07)


Alp Ozberker (http://www.flickr.com/photos/alpozart/)

A small collection of miniature, light-hearted whimsical etchings. (8/07)


Claude Lazar (http://www.weinstein.com/lazar/)

Unusual dark and moody, but surprisingly sensual, interior scenes. A mixture of early European genre painting, De Chirico, Edward Hopper, and contemporary photography, the paintings are rich and elegant despite their inauspicious subject matter.  Don't rely on the thumbnails to give a real sense of the painting. (8/07)


Martin Butler (http://drawing.com.au)

Figure drawing with extraordinary gusto; this artist's best works jump off the page with passionate abandon! His confident draftsmanship is enviable, and it is rare that the sheer pleasure that an artist takes in his subject translates to the audience with such immediacy. On the other hand, this artist is so good at what he does, and is so sure about it, that he must beware of parodying himself. (8/07)


Justine Tatarsky (www.artontile.com/)

Whimsical and sensuous (mostly) figure work on glazed tiles. These are delightful and imaginitive works with excellent attention to detail, although the thumbnails don't really capture the richness and brilliant color of the original works (which I have seen). (The many thumbnails on the 12" tile page take a long time to show at 56k, but then they all come at once.) (8/07)


Blu Smith (www.shared-visions.com/art/Blu/bluhome.htm)

Bold and colorful abstract (non-objective) painting from the Fauvist/abstract expressionist tradition. Very painterly but with prominent compositional structure. (8/07)


Thaneeya McArdle (http://www.thaneeya.com/)

Go to the abstract gallery to see delightful non-objective quiltlike paintings in brilliant color, richly decorative and detailed. Lots of close-ups. Unfortunately the thumbnails and enlargements take a long time to load with a modem connection, but they are a feast for the eyes in the end. (8/07)


Jed Dougherty (http://www.jedsart.com/2001.htm)

These lush paintings of colossal women remind one of Diego Riviera--only more so. Riviera meets Botero on the steps of an Aztec temple--or maybe the Parthenon. The paintings are mostly tiny, the women monumental. Not for the faint of heart. (8/07)


Alexander Khomsky (http://www.khomskyart.com/index.php?categoryID=93)

Gorgeous lush abstract landscapes and playful figures, colorful and decorative, by a well-known Russian artist. (8/07)


Edward Gordon (http://www.gordongallery.com/current/index.html)

Luminous and enchanting interior scenes hover mysteriously between photorealism and surrealism. Sensual and pristine interiors you'd want to live with--if only your home were so perfect! (8/07)

   


Fine Art Photographers








Linde Waidhofer (http://westerneye.com)

Fine art photography of an abstract bent in rich color, including images from Mexico and from nature. (8/07)


Sharon Hudson (http://www.byhudson.com/photography.html)

Colorful, sensuous fine art photography, largely focused on pattern and design, includes images from the urban enviornment, Asia, Mexico, carousels, and many other themes, and unique surreal composite images. About 100 thumbnails with enlargements on this sample page. (8/07)

   


Textile Artists








Marilyn Henrion
(http://www.marilynhenrion.com)

Rich, sensuous abstract quilts, mostly geometric. Beautiful work with excellent enlargements, but the site is difficult to use with a modem connection. (8/07)


Lisa Call (http://www.lisacall.com/gallery3.html)

A gallery of striking quilts featuring geometric irregularity and sophisticated color schemes of mostly earthy colors. (8/07)


Artists in Three-Dimensional Media








Ricky Moldonado
(http://www.rickymaldonado.com/)

Unique detailed, decorative ceramics patterned with fine dots and other patterns. Truly extraordinary fine art sculptural ceramics! Lucky enough to have found this artist before he was "discovered," my parents now own one of his plates. (8/07)


Peggy Bjerkan (www.maskwoman.com)

Every mask by this prolific and imaginitive mask artist is a fabulous treat. (8/07)


Corrine Okada (www.okadadesign.com/)

This unique, creative, and sensual abstract sculpture by an artist of Japanese Hawaiian descent draws on traditional Japanese forms like kimono, kites, and ikebana, and light materials like wire and rice paper. (8/07)


Karen Hatzigeorgiou (http://karenswhimsy.com/altered-books/)

This artist creates sensual, beautiful, and quirky altered books and similar items on an intimate scale. She provides extensive information on the techniques she uses to create her books, and detailed pictures of the contents. The site is a little slow with modem connection, but the work is very interesting. (8/07)


Robert J. Lang (http://www.langorigami.com/)

Well, this is something you don't see every day. This contemporary origami artist takes origami to a new level, with his insects, spiders, undersea creatures, and other amazingly detailed animals. (8/07)


Bruce Gray (http://www.brucegray.com/htmlfolder/wallsculptures2.html)

I have always liked this popular sculptor's colorful painted wall sculptures--lively and freeform, playful. (8/07)


Charles Birnbaum (http://www.cbirnbaumstudios.com/)

Unique and extraordinary award-winning porcelain sculpture based on organic forms and textures. Delicate but powerful. (8/07)
