I love Li Hui

by

Li Hui - Empty Kingdom - Art Blog
One day, I was like, "Damn, I love Li Hui." Then I realised, that some of my beautiful compadres here at Empty Kingdom have already professed their love for Li Hui on more than one occasion. So then I was like, "Damn, I still love Li Hui and her ambient, opalescent photography." So in the end, this post was born. You're welcome, Earth.

Zealous Creative, Film, 2013
To all the devote, unknowing and loose followers of my posts... I sincerely apologise for keeping you waiting with my articles. It has saddened me up to now; not being in a position to find and post the artwork that I cherish, but from now on, I should be posting regularly again (and I love you all and would never desert you).

Painting, Meghan Howland, Empty Kingdom, 2013
Meghan Howland is an American oil painter with a knack for creating dreamy, almost hypnagogic images of birds, boys, girls and dolls. Her work has an aura of pleasantry and whimsical innocence, yet one can't help but smell a slight wift of darkness seeping through her pictures...

The World Of Oliver Vernon

by

April 3, 2013

Oliver Vernon, Painting, 2013
Oliver Vernon is an acrylic painter who was born in the city of New York. His work quite often shows a surreal and warped portrayal of weird and wonderful, make-believe landscapes. The pale colour tones he uses juxtapose well with the harsh geometric shapes, altogether creating a fascinating mix of architecture, landscape and abstractions.

Jeweled Fruit

Installation, 2013
The artist who bears the name Luciana Rondolini is a woman of many talents. Her painting and drawing skills are ones which mere mortals such as my self can only really dream to achieve. But her charming installation work is what caught my eye the most. Straying away from the human size lollipop, when I say charming, I mean her engravement of fruit, dead and ripe alike, with jewel-like charms; a beautiful representation of the beauty which lies within nature.

Painting, 2013
I love hyperrealism. It's like a superpower to me. Shooting lasers? Flying? Controlling time? Nope. I don't want any of that. If I can be involved in a government experiment, or a nuclear, radioactive explosion that gives me the ability to paint like a photograph, I would take that over the powers shooting web-like mucus from my wrist any day of the week.

Louis Fry, Photography, 2013
Louis Edwin Fry is a surrealist photographer and videographer based in London (and Leipzig), who specialises in creating portraits of chaos. The most appealing photographs, for me, were the pictures which masked the face of the his captives with fluid iridescent stains.

Caktus and Maria are a street-art duo hailing from Italy, brought together to bring you some borderline grotesque and boldly beautiful, detailed and murky portraits, splashed with colour and dullness. The perfect antithesises if you ask me.

Smuldering Flowers

by

January 1, 2013

Header
The work of Magriet Smulders has got me really excited. Due to being a long-term sufferer of hay-fever, and thus allergic to anything with a stamen and petals, I never thought it possible that I'd ever fully appreciate the beauty of flowers (without sneezing myself to death).

I’ve decided to choose something a little more subtle than my usual taste in artists for this post, simply because... well, I'm Sir. Berus, and I can do that sort of thing.
