Időről időre sikerül a Weekly Discoveryben valami gyöngyszemre bukkanni, ez most pl az.

I love when Spotify gets their shit together and actually makes a pretty boppin playlist for me for once. It’s rather refreshing.

If I don't mind does it matter?

For this weeks discovery post, that is what I am going to call it “weekly discovery”. I think, I’ll see how I get on with this and if it sticks. 

So, for my current project I was looking for an image, it was not an image of something, it was more like a movement and a vibe image I was looking for. Something that would give me a sense of something strange another words “magic”.

 I came across this beautiful movement like image that gave a sense of waves and the colours used in the “wave” were so perfect to go with my imagination of what magic would look like. It was a perfect fit! BUT WAIT, thats not it. PLOT twist! 

 I noticed that there was a map underneath it which just made it even more beautiful to me. It looked like a storm that was spreading. The contrasted colours of the map and these moving waves fit so well together. They create a strange yet beautiful composition. 

  The artist is Mark M Garrett. He has a series of these map works and each one is different and they all have this sense of movement which makes it so eye catching.

Tagsmart Weekly Discovery: Rod Jones, The Creator of Receptive Abstract Patternism

Tagsmart discovers Rod Jones, a Southern Californian artist known to be the creator of receptive abstract patternism. Rod Jones says: “I push my chosen art style with every painting I do. Some are more successful than others. But I’m not afraid to challenge either the viewer or myself. If I can use color and form in an eclectic way and still maintain some semblance of continuity, then I am accomplishing my goal.”

The style he embraced is one that evolved from initially painting in the Impressionist style. Today his art is considered by many to be especially authentic. When viewed, the body of his art has a common theme yet each piece clearly stands on its own. His work is constantly evolving and the style that he has created is open-ended and has no restrictions.

His style has been named Receptive Abstract Patternism™, a term coined by his daughter. She determined that the style revolves around the artist receiving conscious and sub-conscious signals and stimuli to create an image independent of common form, held together by the continuity and comfort of a pattern.

The style is ever evolving, but so many of the pieces that have been created are a testament to true artistic originality.
