Contemporary painter Josh Keyes has a new show in Seattle. I love his clean, sharp style and the way he constructs his art. Make sure to check out his studio blog. He builds little sets, and combines random elements, objects and animals to form what he calls ‘a hybrid of eco-surrealism and dystopian folktales that express a concern for our time and the Earth’s future’.

Erik Sommer is a New York City-based contemporary artist. Focusing primarily on painting, his work is a conversation between age and beauty, capturing the passing of time through the deterioration of texture. His paintings reflect his urban environment, yet maintain a sense of both fragility and aggressiveness.
