Minako Abe Paintings Shown By Base Gallery (Tokyo) At Expo Chicago 2013

Minako Abe's stylized landscapes seem to warp in the frame as you look at them. The images bend, they move and they even confuse viewers. One woman looking from a distance thought the images were digital and doctored.

They are, in fact, oil on canvas.

The pieces were shown by Base Gallery (Tokyo).

Abe is a graduade of Tokyo Zokei University's Painting Department. He has regularly exhibited in his home country and also in Vienna. The large tryptych sold at Expo Chicago.

Locks Gallery (Philadelphia) Showed These Lovely Paintings By Ena Swansea At Expo Chicago 2013

Picture21st Century Haystack 3 by Ena Swansea
photos by Boyd Ogle II

Art shows like Expo Chicago are a great place to find new artists--or new to YOU artists. For me, this year I found Ena Swansea, shown by Locks Gallery (Philadelphia).

Here 21st Century Haystack 3 combines realism with...well...unrealism (is that a word?). There is movement, there is depth and there is a "feeling of a place" you often only find in a photograph. She is a wonderful artist.

Below is another of her pieces, 14th St. Pile Field 4. I am not sure how I was unaware of this artist until now.
