Featured Artist Jason Antaya – Chicopee, MA @jasonantayaart Born in Springfield, MA, Jason Antaya is a mixed media collage artist who resides in Chicopee, MA with his wife Annie. Jason’s collage works are highly imaginative, intricate and many are a blend of representational portraiture and abstract figurative subjects. Vintage yellowed paper along with his quirky sense of humor are featured heavily in his compositions. He continues to pursue his dream of creating unique, thoughtful pieces that intrigue and invite the viewer to ponder the process and intent. His work has been featured in local exhibitions in Holyoke, Easthampton and Agawam. More recently Antaya’s creations have been showcased further afield in New York, North Carolina, Laguna Beach and Art Palm Springs. His first solo exhibition “What will Happen” recently wrapped up in Amherst, MA. #artistportfoliomagazine #collageart #mixedmediaart #contemporaryart #artist #artcollective #livingartist #artlife #artlovers #mixedmediaartist #paperart #artwork🎨 #visualart #artmag #artcollector #followartist Featured Artist Dustin Massey – Powdersville, SC @dustinleemassey We receive visual information in our society through constantly changing images. The world is saturated with information that is unedited, torrential, pixelated, flickering, backlit, and instantaneous. Through paint I construct a world that exists somewhere between the physical and the digital and is an exaggerated reflection of our current cultural environment. In doing so I can process and understand the cultural implications this has had, or will have, on our society. I present a reconstructed world to the viewer in a way that is variously beautiful, playful, and erotic. However, it is also a world that is weird, grotesque, confusing and ambiguous. I do this to entice the viewer’s imagination and then have them examine the paintings with a critical eye. I provoke the viewer to contemplate where they fit in and consider their part in shaping this new world. #artistportfoliomagazine #visualart #art #artist #featuredartist #mixedmediaart #contemporaryart #fineart #artofvisuals #artwork🎨 #callforart #followartist #buyartfromlivingartists #artlife #artcurator #artcollector Featured Artist Brandon Grace – Hamburg, NY @brandobybrandon 22 year old artist based out of Buffalo,Ny. I find beauty in the most mundane of day to day life the beauty in my brush work is the most important to me. Accuracy in capturing form also a big testament to my work. #artistportfoliomagazine #portraits #portraitartist #contemporaryart #fineart #art #artistalley #artcollective #artcollector #emergingartist #followartist #buyartfromlivingartists #callforart #artlovers #artwork🎨 #visualart @outsiderartmagazine Featured Artist Robert Gorchov – Philadelphia, PA I’m a self-taught artist and have been drawing and painting for nearly 40 years. I’m interested in the process that creates a painting. Though it involves imagination, this process is affected by chance, so that when I begin a picture I have only a half-formed image of what the finished painting will look like. The completed piece only slightly resembles the image that I had in mind when I began it. I think of this as improvisation. Over the years that I’ve been painting, I’ve learned to trust the brush and the materials – to let them take the lead – and not think too much about how it will end up. I don’t know beforehand how a picture will turn out, and this is part of what makes painting interesting. @outsiderartmagazine #artistportfoliomagazine #outsiderartmagazine #outsiderart #outsider #lowbrow #artcollective #artlife #artwork🎨 #callforart #artistalley #featuredartist #abstractlovers #abstractart #mixedmediaart Featured Artist Ken Thrift – San Jose, CA @ken_thrift Ken Thrift is known for paintings in watercolor, ink, and acrylic. A San José native, he has an intuitive artistic process that began as a child by watching his grandmother, Esther Thrift, create art, including ceramics and painting. This was the catalyst that opened him up to a world of nature and organic presentation. His art is characterized by bold compositions, contrasting shapes, and vibrant colors. His themes are broad and explorative. Thrift received his degree in Art, with an emphasis in Painting, from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, where he was also a member of the Wisconsin Watercolor Society. His art has been shown and published in galleries, exhibitions and magazines throughout the United States. He participates in numerous art fairs across the Midwest, including, “Art Fair on the Square,” that draws a quarter million people each year. Ken is passionate about giving back. He has donated his artwork to organizations like United Cerebral Palsy, Primates Inc., and Hospice of Madison, Wisconsin. In addition, he took part in a yearly group exhibition that provides scholarships to recipients at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. His belief is that the world can be enhanced and enriched by art in more than just a cultural capacity; it can help change lives. Ken Thrift is also known as the front man for rock bands Inner Sanctum and Muzzy Luctin and his performances on, Netflix’s “13 Reasons Why,” ID Channel’s, “I (Almost) Got Away with It,” and his supporting role in the indie film, “The Pining,” featuring Tom Sizemore. #artistportfoliomagazine #art #abstractart #abstractlovers #contemporaryart #fineart #expressionism #colorful #modernart #artcollective #artcollector #buyartfromlivingartists #followartist @outsiderartmagazine Issue 37 of Artist Portfolio Magazine is now available through ArtistPortfolioMagazine.com Link in bio.
