New In: Artworks for Summer

By experiencing their environments, artists capture the liveliness, energy, and vibrancy of summer in their work.

This week, The Artling brings you some of our newly listed artworks for the summer that will add vibrance to any space!

Joy of Life I by Heidi Lanino

“Joy of Life I” by Heidy Lanino references Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre, a landscape painting that is often described as one of Matisse’s greatest Fauve works. Here, Lanino creates rhythmic compositions through her expressive lines and shapes, while combining both figurative and abstract elements in her painting.

Rbt-20 by H-Nguyen

"I express myself through vivid colors and powerful musical strokes. My paintings usually draw spectators into an unknown and timeless space. I use painting as a way to meditate; my paintings evoke unknown sources of energy and harmony deep from the soul, so they may help you find yours by observing them."

Sisters not Twins (14) by Tarini Ahuja

“Sisters not Twins (14)” by Tarini Ahuja provides the viewer with a sense of positivity and peace. She aims to create a space for solace and reflection - an escape from the mundane. Ahuja’s handling of paint is intended to cause an effect of puzzlement to the viewer through her choice of colors; the contrast between thin and thick brushstrokes; and her deliberate use of shadows to create visual trickery.

"I use acrylic paints as I feel that it is a versatile medium that allows me to experiment with the materiality of the paint. My colour palette moves from pristine whites, clerical greys, sensitive blues and garden greens to dusty, earthy shades, chaotic hues and dramatic contrasts."

MADRAS or opposite bayadères by Christian Vidal

“MADRAS or opposite bayadères” by French artist Christan Vidal was made with acrylic ink on strips of gummed paper and glued to drawing paper.

Bluebells by Diana Malivani
