Crawfurd Adamson is an oil painter who depicts very abstracted and contorted figures, while still managing to keep very realistic proportions. This is so amazing to me, considering just how interesting this makes these paintings. The reason I want to take this artists work into account when making my own is because of the creative body language and compositions, as well as the use of expressive color and mark to resolve the image and add to the tone.
Alex Garant is a portrait artist with a very unique way of rendering her subjects. She primarily works in oil paint, and creates an interesting mix between realism and surreal distortion. Garant has a very strong skill in depicting figure accurately, yet does not stop there. By painting multiple of the same image layered off kilter on top of each other, Garant creates the illusion of "seeing double" in a very kaleidoscope kind of way.What i love so much about these is that they still seem so crisp and the image is not in any way muddled by the multitude of contrasting layers. I also really want to take into my own art is how Garant finishes the piece with its relation to the negative space and the background.
