Ohio-based artist Jon Stucky explores the relationship between good and evil and the way different cultures perceive their everlasting fight. His unique paintings are inspired by the aboriginal cultures of Australia and New Zealand as well as by the art of Jean Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol.

In his artworks, Jon combines different types of media like oil, acrylic, auto, airbrush, and spray paints combined with charcoal, chalk, and oil pastels.

This week I’d like to showcase the work of a contemporary artist from Slovakia, Martin Majerčák.

Martin discovered watercolors just two years ago and immediately fell in love with the medium for its ability to capture the beauty of a fleeting moment.

Please follow Martin on Instagram,Facebook, check out his Etsy shop!

Please give a warm welcome to the New Orleans-based artist Anya Lincoln-Dunn. Let her enchanting floral patterns and lavish colors draw you in.

Anya finds her inspiration in the richness of the American south, exploring patterns and colors from the lush tropical greenery of New Orleans to the cotton fields of Northern Louisiana. Since the beginning of her painting career Anya has been driven mainly by the visual and aesthetic qualities of the subjects she explores, creating positive and engaging pieces.

Please follow Anya on Twitter,Facebook, check out her portfolio, and let her know what you think!

A few weeks ago I promised that I would start featuring contemporary artists. Today I am excited to start this tradition by featuring a Minneapolis-based artist Christopher Harrison.

Christopher is a fine artist, graphic designer, museum educator, and independent curator based in Minneapolis, MN. His politically and socially engaged paintings and sculpture are made with natural materials, and focus on creating greater curiosity and respect for the physical world.

Please follow Christopher on Twitter,Tumblr and check out his portfolio.

It is time to add some weirdness to your social feed by following these wonderfully strange artists of the Surrealism movement. From the bizarre worlds of Remedios Varo to the witty compositions of Rene Magritte, there is enough quirky art even for the most eccentric minds.

I know social-media can be overwhelming, but since you’re going to be on it anyway, why not fill your feeds with art? You can now get cultured from the comfort of your feed by following the curated Post-Impressionist artists!

As always, we are not associated with any artists, we’re just big fans ;)
