Hello, my name is Tim. My parents wanted to call me Fraser, but my sister wasn’t having any of it…’He wants to be called Tim’ she demanded. Fortunately enough, she was right. Link

The Art of Michael Mararian

September 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Drawing, Media Modification

Portrait of the Artist - Copyright Michael Mararian

Michael Mararian possesses a poetic propensity for taking traditionally cheerful images and concepts and turning them into frightening, yet humorous, tableaus. Focusing on children as the last bastion of innocence, Mararian draws on a diverse range of influences to deliver the peculiar ink work he aptly calls, M. Mararian’s Inky Dreadfuls. In this world our fondest visions of childhood’s naiveté are darkly rearranged to uncover lost innocence and the fear of our modern times. Link

The Art of Sarah Illenberger

Woolen Heart - Copyright Sara Hillenberger

Defining one category for all the work of Sarah Illenberger is no easy task. The forms the visual translations of her themes assume are far too diverse. What initially sounds quite abstract, in reality, is mostly practical in that her creations are not generated on a computer but rather by meticulous handwork, sometimes incorporating the most mundane materials.

The Art of Elizabeth McGrath

Ready for the Parade Strip XXIII - Copyright Elizabeth McGrath

Influenced by a Roman Catholic upbringing, punk rock, Erte, and Edward Gorey, Hollywood native Elizabeth McGrath is one of her generation’s more unique and prolific artists. She creates in a number of mediums and materials with undeniable artistry and imagination. Her paintings are haunted whispers of color, depicting subtly dangerous creatures that creep towards the edge of the canvas. Her stitched and bandaged dolls and toys are a united army of soft strangeness and her mixed media dioramas are isolated freak shows displaying rotting subhuman figures luxuriously dressed for your pleasure of contempt.
