Great art in my feed

Going to write a slow thread. Trying to put into words why a piece hits me is such a great exercise.

  

1/ You ain’t getting a more perfect composition than this one. Look at the shapes, colors, detail placement. Quality lies so much in these often overlooked features, even before the content. Hats off. [@OlgaShpakArt](https://x.com/OlgaShpakArt)

2/ One word: depth. More and more artists around here are exploring this concept. Great one. [@721SevenTwoOne](https://x.com/721SevenTwoOne)

3/ [@motherlouisiane](https://x.com/motherlouisiane) ‘s art is so often about soft tones & a sincere passion for paper as a medium. Despite being AI, their art could very well be hand-drawn because it’s so intentional and well controlled. This one also reminds my of the tracing paper I used so long ago <3

4/ Featuring an artist like [@ganbrood](https://x.com/ganbrood) feels like shooting a fish in a barrel. Whatever. Line-style is one of the areas he truly mastered, and this one’s amazing. Fresh & contemporary interpretation of a renowed concept. This is the kind of things that tells greats from good ones

5/ I’m not much into conceptual art usually, but I absolutely love this one. The point is: Feels like I ordered a broken glass. Because it’s valuable after all. By Walead Beshty

6/ [@0009ine](https://x.com/0009ine) is making some of the most interesting art in space these days. It’s about a pop theme, presented as pop art - double pop, in a sense. What makes his latest art stand out in the crowd IMO is the unusual photographic look he applies to that. Blend, fuse, breed.

7/ [@IsolationistThe](https://x.com/IsolationistThe) is a master at minimalistic expressionist portraits, with a super-free approach to sign & gesture (in this istance, a mixed media). It takes a whole lot to make such a balanced composition.

8/ [@Ibl3D](https://x.com/Ibl3D) is another regular here, because yes. I’d describe this one as “a leathery mummy skin, in the shape of a creepy modern character, with informal traits”. That’s shifting the meaning. He always does that. Shifting the meaning is at the core of art making, I’ve been told

9/ A great one by [@indi\_sulta](https://x.com/indi_sulta) . Feels to me like a scifi illustration from the 60s, but contemporary in interpretation - palette, gradients, and a metaphysic/existentialist feel. As always, I love undefined boundaries between the meanings an artwork conveys

10/ Realism of content and look, in a non-realistic shape. Again, shifting the meaning. [@aandreychagin](https://x.com/aandreychagin)

11/ Last but not least, [@Norm\_Hlopak](https://x.com/Norm_Hlopak) 's penchant for pop themes. Sometimes approached through weirdness, sometimes revealing a naked essence with an in-your-face, ironic, and kind of tender interpretation.

That’s all, thanks for reading.
