Loie Hollowell: Mind Bending Bodies

“It’s not abstraction with a big ‘A.’ But even the most abstract things have some reference,” Loie Hollowell told Flaunt Magazine when describing her art that falls somewhere between abstract, realism, or modernism. The artist focuses on themes such as sex, pregnancy, postpartum, and the dynamic between her mind and her body. “So I view my works as body landscapes through the language of minimizing forms to a more symbolic space,” Hollowell explained to Flaunt.

Andres Cobre: Divine in Detail

We’ve all seen our fair share of graffiti while traversing the unique layouts of our own individual cities in which we reside. Personally, my experience with graffiti is with the city closest to home, Atlanta, largely tagged with various forms of graffiti – whether it be a full wall mural or something as simple as the letters “ATL” spray-painted alongside an overpass. This intriguing art form can serve many purposes, stemming from a movement, a way to communicate, or simply to amaze.

Carolina Caycedo: Advocacy through Art

In the world we live in, the fight to gain awareness for social justice and environmental issues is an everyday battle. The constant outcries for advocacy reaches millions of people through news outlets, social media channels and even works of art. Even though the first three strategies seem to be the most commonly used, raising awareness through works of art can educate the masses in an entirely different way that is beautiful to the eye and just as moving to the soul. 

Art as a form of advocacy is an age-old concept. It is the individual artist, however, that creates a piece and reestablishes the originality of art. Art serves as an outlet that allows the experiences, moral beliefs and voice of an artist to be displayed through their work.

Nathan Cyprys: Shutter Speed

We’re often drawn to the flamboyant, bright colors. Big expressions and odd angles are often what we define as “good” photography. Then, there are artists like Nathan Cyprys. His photos are gloomy. There’s a stillness to every photograph whether it’s a landscape shot or a portrait of a person and there is an unmistakable coldness that comes across louder than the most vibrant of photographs.
