Oh....go and thank Helen and Shay by visiting their Etsy shops or leaving a comment, two posts down. FAOTW-Featured Artist of the Week
.....And the Oscar goes to.......Helen Gotlib and Shay Dodson. This week we find ourselves with two featured artists again and if you find yourselves saying, "but why, mod3rnart?" We think the work more than speaks for itself! While from a distance, the theme and medium that our two featured artists have created, might seem similar but by taking a closer look, you truly see how independent and unique each artist is.
Helen Gotlib: Has traveled extensively. Her observations of people and customs in Japan, China and Israel have influenced her perception of the human body and how expressive it is. See her amazing work in our Gallery. Helen's work is in the first two images located above.
Shay Dodson: "Above all, my paintings express a love for paint itself; the fleshy, textural quality of oil paint and its luminescence - its thick opacity versus liquid transparency. Shay's work speaks so loudly about the animation of art and you can see her beautiful work in our Gallery.
As always, make sure to visit our featured artist's etsy shops (Helen's or Shea's) for all artists help and support each other. You can also show your support by leaving comments in our blog and who knows, maybe if the comments are nice enough, one of these amazing artists might give us a piece of art for a giveaway....
