Bogdan Zwir: Bogdan Zwir is from Saint Petersburg, Russia and uses photography and photo manipulation as his main medium. Zwir enjoy “the absurd” much in the way that a child’s imagination runs wild, however, Zwir is not a child anyone. His work contains deep hues and powerful messages that conveys physical feelings like pain, love, or bewilderedness.
Alain Mathiot: While I couldn’t find his “about” page on his website, I can infer he’s from a French speaking country and his work contains plenty of oil-on-canvas, inking, and digital art. his variety of mediums is just as numerous as his variety of styles. While some may appear surreal, others may convey a lighter message or something completely of his own.
Mark Powell: Mark Powell lives in the United Kingdom with his main, and almost exclusive, medium being ink on paper. The most striking aspect of all his works is definitely the eyes of the people he draws. They convey a sense of power, experience, or age. None of his works are simple portraits and no detail is left behind.
Apachennov: Eugene Soloviev is from Nizhniy Novgorod and uses photo manipulation to yield surreal and interesting works. His portfolio is expansive and uses plenty of variety from a stark surreal scene, to a busy and emotional one. I’m a big fan of this piece in particular, this artist will probably be one of the artists I write my paper on.
Adam Martinakis: Born in Lubań, Martinakis, is a 3D digital artist with breathtaking taking work and wonderful manipulation of light and raytracing. He follows a similar style juxtaposing a concrete or stone material against a glossy material. He’s had multiple exhibitions and awards. I will definitely be writing my paper on this artist.
