Featured Artist Nandan Sam He – New York, NY @smmmmmart Nandan Sam He(GuangDong, 1991) is a Multimedia Artist now lives and works in NYC. My works are fragments of a recovering voyage towards my odd phantasm and nihilistic belongingness. My generation grew up in a perception that reality is the most surreal thing. When everything speeds up, I am floating in a marginalized social structure and falling into a groundless land, incapable of escaping. There is a limited capacity of space in my brain, but extensive information fills in every day. Through painting, performance, mix media installations and animation, I inhabit my subconscious in an intimacy place beneath the past, beyond dimension, echoing by its own present. I am unfolding an irrational order of a hyper normalized conversation. Leading viewers gravitate towards an unconscious force, inhibiting a body part that’s not entirely theirs into my abandoned wonderland. #artistportfoliomagazine #contemporaryart #artist #art #featuredartist #nose #sculptures #mixedmediaart #modernart #modernsculpture #artlovers #artcollector #visualart #artofvisuals #strangeart #artwork @outsiderartmagazine Featured Artist Lexicon Love – Sydney, Australia @lexicon_love Australian born and bred, I am a self-taught collage artist who works under the name Lexicon Love. I love collage art essentially because I enjoy the process. I am less preoccupied with the end result. I am drawn to the surreal and unsettling and try to inject that into my work where possible, always seeking out the unexpected connections between humour and tragedy. Ultimately it’s the way in which collage art challenges traditional notions of aesthetics, which I find most appealing. My process begins by finding the trigger for each piece. This is usually a single image that really catches my eye, grabs me by the throat, and triggers the all-important starting point. Remixing the old with the new to create new truths, I organise and reorganise until it ‘feels right’. I don’t use Photoshop or Illustrator. My tools of choice closely mimic analogue techniques. It’s like working with your hands in the traditional sense. #artistportfoliomagazine #featuredartist #collage #collageart #modernart #contemporaryart #artcollector #visualart #artwork #artistofinstagram #art #artist @outsiderartmagazine #artofvisuals #artmag #pig #deadpig Featured Artist Islabelle Miltioux – Rigaud, Québec, Canada @isamiltioux.art I paint my personal universe which has inhabited my soul since the dawn of time. My creations manifest themselves mainly through the inspiration that I derive from music which harmoniously unleashes and defines my imagination. My heart is a planet from which my familiar ideas come to life through my various encounters, my collection of memories, a great admiration and wonder for my musical muses, the unusual beauty in life and the brave hearted creatures of this world or otherwise. I assimilate all of the elements that leave an impression on me and eventually take residence within me; I then transform them into fabulous landscapes inhabited by celestial characters that represent togetherness, freedom, sincerity and solidarity. Each of my mythical works conveys stories in which strong ties are solidified and my inspirational characters are guarded by protective beings. Through my art, I build welcoming and safe places and timeless refuge for dreamers. ...

She left school at 16 and travelled to places including Alaska, France and Spain where she lived and worked. She has exhibited throughout the UK, including Liverpool, Glasgow, and London and at the Society of Scottish Artists in Edinburgh. She has had no formal art training. Artist statement I’m intrigued by the scope of the human mind, our capacity for thought, language and humanity next to our potential for brutality, and in many ways it’s this fascination which pushes me to paint. Likewise, I’ve always been interested in the role self-consciousness plays in altering our identity, so my art becomes a means of exploring how we construct and define ourselves through others. I’m heavily drawn towards figurative art and find the human form the best place to explore those extremities that make the body talk. The bodies that materialise in my own art become an alternative account of the routine human form: bodies for eyes that like to wander. Recently I’ve drawn on prehistoric archaeology for inspiration. I hope these observations offer vision into much of my portraiture, so that each face crosses boundaries of time and culture and brings something of our cultural past to the foreground. What’s been really fascinating is how exciting contemporary art has become to me the more I find out about prehistoric art. Everything I do feels connected to it now Art has always been a volatile process for me, a case of extremities in love and hate. It gives me no choice to be anything but an artist. So much so, that when I’m not painting I feel like I’m winning. Everything I paint then is built on this volatility between two states. #artistportfoliomagazine #art #artist #abstractart #abstractportrait #outsider #outsiderart #modernart #contemporaryart #artistofinstagram #featuredartist #visualart #artwork #followartist #buyartfromartists Featured Artist Aimee Perez – Miami, FL Aimee Perez was born in Habana Cuba in 1955. She left for the United States when she was twelve with her family through the Freedom Flights and grew up in Miami in Cuban immigrant community. As a young adult she won the Gold Key Award in painting and several honorable mentions as she continued her pursuit of the arts during her college years. In 1989 she moved to Mexico City and continued painting and exhibiting with Cuban and Mexican artist. In 1997 she was invited to participate as a guest artist in the studio of Mexican sculptor Jose Sacal and it is here she begins to work for the first time in 3D with clay. She returned to Miami in 2006 and continued her work winning several awards for her figurative ceramics in the state of Florida. Perez has been praised for her command of gestures making her sculptures expressionistic and powerful which combined with the juxtaposition to found objects creates an organic symbiosis. She says her work is her voice, a dialogue with the observer and simultaneously a self-exploration. Her work can be found in many private collection in the United States and Mexico and in permanent collections including Florida International University Honors College Collection and Huntsville Museum of Art in Alabama. #artistportfoliomagazine #sculptures #ceramics #fineart #contemporaryart #art #artist #visualart #sculptureart #ceramicsculpture #mixedmedia #foundobjects #featuredartist #artlovers #artcollector #artistsoninstagram #artmagazine #buyartfromartists #curate Issue 38 is here!
