Here is an extremely talented painter, Will Wilson. I personally struggle a little with how polished these paintings are...but his technical skill is truly astounding!

Here is an excellent multi media webpage; it takes some time, but well worth it!

John DiPaolo-here's a painting of his that is very moving for me. DiPaolo's portfolio is hit and miss for me. When they hit, they hit big, and when they miss, i'm just uninterested in the work. Somtimes its too pattern heavy, sometimes its the colors he's using, and sometimes its too chaotic. Irregardless, he is clearly a very talented painter!

George Boorujy, I like what he's doing, i got stuck this morning sorting through his images. All the images together work to define a post apocolypse world...deformities are intensely uncomfortable for me, but I enjoyed the fantasy.

Here is the page to Ursula Von Rydingsvard. I love her sculpture, if you haven't seen her on Art:21 I think her vignette is one of my favorites.

Here's an artist i found from Greg Thielker's list of links. Her name is Resa Blatman. My first impressions are I like her cut-out pantings, the composition of the interior and exterior cut work is lovely, that being said I struggle with the shadows the cut out pieces cast on the wall. It muddles all those lovely curves and lines that hang around the fringes of her work. Looking at the edges makes my eyes wig out. This opinion of course is based on viewing her website only.

Here's ome pretty challenging pop-illustration art by Scott Brooks in Washington DC

I love his stuff. Especially "Liberty leading the people"...can't get that chihuahua out of my head!
Check out this video by Quayola!

Here is a great blog entry from Doyoureadmedaily blog. It features high res images of David Schnell's paintings along with a cool video at the bottom that shows him working on his designs for a stained glass window!

check out Karin Kneffel. She's a german artist who does some amazing textile and interior paintings. Her paintings of floors and rugs make me flip out. Her website is a bit difficult to navigate so here are a couple links:

With Galleries going back to 1984 it's going to take some time to look through all of it, but I love some of the newer work. The rain on the windows reminds of Gregory Thielker brilliant windshield paintings http://artoutthere.blogspot.com/2009/10/gregory-thielker.html - hope you don't mind me initially directing back to my blog. It's just easier. There's a link to his website there.
I love Gregory Thielker's windshield paintings...also connects to Alyssa Monks, here: http://alyssamonks.com/portshow.asp?portfolioid={AF28BAA9-57F2-4BD7-90EE-A183D253413D}
Please feel free to connect to your blog, no issues here.
Alyssa Monk's work is very impressive too. These hyper-realists are bonkers. but in a good way, of course.
Ckeck out Theo Jansen Kinectic Sculpture & Street Art Joshua Allen Harris both very cool.
I like Theo Jansen's work tremendously. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcR7U2tuNoY
Theo Jansen also gives a TED talk which is pretty informative of his work.
Here's a link for Joshua Allen, also awesome work...good post Abstractedbyrl!

Here is a photographer I've recently stumbled upon. His name is Bill Sulivan, and these elevator pics are my favorite, although he's got a series of turnstyle pics of people entering the New York subway that are also very compelling

Hey thanks for the invite. I do an art blog called "All The Art Out There" you might like. I go back and forth between posting fresh faces off of flickr and places like this and established professionals. I've got a huge shortlist of people to post at the moment... (http://artoutthere.blogspot.com/)
Wow, great blog David. I am in awe of Paul Ching-Bor's paintings. I would love to see them in person. I'll bookmark your blog, hopefully you'll post some of your new finds here as well from time to time.
thanks for the invite matt... awesome idea... check out this group of talented guys in the video... http://vimeo.com/13498872
Thanks for joining, Mimi. I dig the mural, but I also kind of like it in the way I like blown glass, victoria's secret, and comic books. Its beautiful and pleasing, but doesn't take me anywhere...now some of the individual work on the walls in the video was stunning! and I love that grenade chess board!
i loved everything in that video... mural my favorite... i'm quite intimidated after watching the video because i'm gonna be live painting with two of the guys, michael pukac and john park working on that mural... wish me luck... : )
I love live painting. Every year I do a live painting event, its a blast. I'm sure you'll be great, best of luck!
I laughed when I read this-"I dig the mural, but I also kind of like it in the way I like blown glass, victoria's secret, and comic books. Its beautiful and pleasing, but doesn't take me anywhere" Great line
I was introduced to German figurative artist, Hanjo Schmidt's work and was blown away. I thought it was on a par with Jenny Saville and Lucian Freud - but still original. Check it out:(http://kuenstlerverzeichnis.schlichtholz.de/index.php?p=galerie&bild=8)
Thanks Sara, this is astounding work! I haven't seen Hanjo's work before. Really stunning. I think for me he meets the expectation I've missed in Lucian Freud's work. I've always felt Freud is a bit of a mortician, there is very little hope in his paintings. Hanjo's on the other hand, offers some of the same painterly lushness, yet his paintings are full of a joy of living
I also like what Hanjo has written here: "I do not paint a model sitting in my studio in the flesh, to avoid the well known pose of the "reclining nude". Sitting as a model is a job that is strenuous and boring at the same time. So after awhile the face takes on a particular far-away look that is so often misinterpreted as being psychologically interesting. Instead I use a camera."
Alex Kanevsky is an artist I've been infatuated with for the last half year. I love the way he uses paint to break up the image and create a feeling of memory and moment.
Here's a link: http://www.somepaintings.net/Alex.html
OMG!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I am totally in love with his paintings. I like that he put stages of his work, because when I look at them I just can't help but wonder.. HOW????????
I'm also a huge fan Mr. Kanevsky's. Great stuff.
I agree Saralene, how indeed. I also love his use of space and how he composes his interiors.
Can you tell me where he is from and his age? I couldn't find a bio anywhere on the site.
