I love the mood of these two oil paintings (the only two in the shop) by Kansas artist Carole Ochs, aka the mysterious Etsy seller cochs. The fact that they are only $50 each just blows me away too.


See and purchase them right here. You better hurry though - I think I might need both of them!

i am falling into the delicious, foreboding abyss of these dynamic large scale (up to 8′ x 8′!) works by california artist nellie king solomon. it’s an extraordinary swirling, sweeping style which to me is not unlike the beginnings of a tornado. the way the blacks kick out on the surfaces is dramatic but grounding too. nellie, who uses a combination of materials including acrylic, soda ash, coffee, house paint, ink and dye, says she paints things she knows are there but cannot be seen.






see more brilliance at brian gross fine art as well as nellie’s website.

look at the interesting details in this mixed media artwork by russian born, new york based artist mira alibek. abstract patterns, images and symbols, created with markers and silkscreens, all converge into richly layered artworks, built around the ideas of deterioration and reconstruction, convergence and separation.




graphically compelling.
see more images on mira’s website and find select works available at her etsy shop.
