Time painting

A self-taught artist, Stephen Magsig grew up and now resides in Michigan. He’s been painting city scenes from Detroit for over 25 years, and in the summer of 2007 he started his own blog called Postcards from Detroit to showcase his urban landscapes.

Artist David Ambarzumjan is well-known on Instagram. With an astonishing amount of over 400k followers on the platform, he happily shares his unique pieces of work with his fans.

The composition comprises three main elements: the sea whipped up by a storm, three boats, and a mountain. The mountain with a snow-capped peak is Mount Fuji, which in Japan is considered sacred and a symbol of national identity, as well as a symbol of beauty. Using the boats, with their thirty passengers, as a reference, we can see the wave must be close to 12 meters tall. The wave, which curls around like a claw to frame Mount Fuji, shows the artist’s awe and fear of the unpredictable sea.

Monday musing… Polish painter Igor Moritz describes “uncertainty” and “anticipation” as the key emotions at play in his brightly coloured figurative works, depicting men and women in contemporary domestic settings. Moritz’s expressionistic paintings are especially relatable at this moment in time, as demonstrated in this crimson-tinged portrait.
