Artists of Interest - Revised

Shepard Fairey

He is widely known for his work during the 2008 election, especially his "Hope" poster of Barrack Obama.  His style is very graphic and bold, and many of his works focus on anti-war statements.  He works in poster formats, which enables wide distribution of his art.


Shepard Fairey, War By Numbers, 2009

Shepard Fairey, Make Art Not War, 2007

Becca Bernstein

Her works are primarily paintings, centered around the "awkward dance of human interdependence." She uses bright, bold colors and studies human expression. She explores human relationships in the contemporary age, and the influence of generational differences on human interaction. 


Becca Bernstein, Artist, 2007

Becca Bernstein, One Was Hazelia, 2007

Ron van Dongen

He takes beautiful and seductive photographs of flowers and the human form.  His emphasis on shape and color are truly beautiful, and he explores the aesthetic appeal of art in intriguing ways.  He conveys emotion and visual sensations through the simplicity of form.
