FEED OUR ADDICTION

EMPTY KINGDOM - Donation - Art Blog
Most of our faithful fans know that we here at EK do what we do simply for the love of Art. And if you don't know, now you know. We originally started our site to share our love of Art with the world, but it grew quickly from a fun side project to an intense, all-consuming labor of love, and now, we have been blessed with this beautiful baby whose life it is our job to nurture and grow in a positive, impactful way. Our dream is to be a 90/10 company, meaning we donate 90% of our company's net income and keep only 10%. Take a moment to think about how retardedly difficult that sounds. There isn't a businessman in the world who'd invest in a business plan like that.

art blog - Harry Holland - empty kingdom
My favorite thing about painter Harry Holland's series of nudes suspended in the air is that you aren't really sure if they are falling or floating. What I have no doubt about, however, is Holland's talent in arranging his subjects in a beautiful and graceful manner.

Rodrigo Dada - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
Rodrigo Dada is a photographer based out of San Salvador, El Salvador. "Vortex" is a project about personal crisis and the human ability to regenerate, to rise from our ashes. Through the absurd, I explore the contemporary world, to find meaning in the meaningless, through the irony I aim to bring awareness about alienation. I reflect on absurd situations between people and objects in everyday life. The struggle to reach a balance and find meaning."

Graszka Paulska is an artist based out of Poland who has an amazing ability to create both realistic females figures and haunting deformed creatures in her paintings.

Ren Hang Part III

Ren Hang - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
Ren Hang is a pretty damn raw Chinese photographer that really has no limit or censorship to his visual poetry. He'll portray his naked friends in deranged obscure sexual positions with other sensually posed buddies against beautiful landscapes. Either way, he is bad ass and we've missed him. The images featured on here are toned down so go to his website for more crazy shit.
