Young Art...

Our very close friend moved into her first place this weekend. Whilst looking for a housewarming present, I came across the http://www.lumas.com/ art website. It features many artists who I'm sure most of us haven't come across. Much of the art is very cool, contemporary and affordable:

'Heroes', Collagen, Marek Haiduk

'Marseille Freitag III', 2. Von Montag - Sonntag, Richoh Gerbl

'Stacks', Archive, Penelope Davis

Artist: Kim Piotrowski

Kim Piotrowski's work is a mixture of intensity, colour and shape. Kim uses a variety of materials for her work, including acrylic paint, gouache, watercolour, gold leaf, permanent markers, pencil, graphite, and enamel. Her current exhibition is being featured at 65Grand in Chicago.

Danielle O'Connor Akiyama

I came across the artwork of Danielle O'Connor whilst meandering through Westbourne Grove, London. The piece was in the window of Whitewall Galleries. The vibrant colours and energy really jumped out. I've been a fan ever since.

Name of this piece: Beauty Rising, in her 2009 collection, Celebration of Colour.
