BEAUTY: Painting--Michael Angel

Australian-American artist Michael Angel creates some wonderful abstract works, but its his pieces which blend portraiture and figurative work with abstraction, reflecting how the paint moves, that attract me.

BEAUTY: Painting--Charles Cajori

I recently discovered the work of the late painter Charles Cajori (1921 - 2013) and fell in love. Look at these dynamic shapes, the movement, the amazing color palette. His work is just a pure, glorious expression of creativity itself.

BEAUTY: Painting--Seonna Hong

The lyrical, colorful, and pastoral work of Seonna Hong belies a darker narrative about climate catastrophe and the reclamation of our constructed world by nature and animals.

BEAUTY: Painting--The Family McCaw

I love the fact that the McCaw men all paint...Dan McCaw has two grown sons, John and Danny, and they all share a studio where they each create some wonderful works, many on very large canvases.

Here is an example of Dan's oeuvre:

Top to bottom: Interwoven; Solitude; Standing Figures; Textures

John's work is similar in color palette but completely abstract. I think I like the predominantly black Archetype the best followed by the bold orange Accelerate.

Top to bottom: Accelerate; Archetype; Balancing; Rain On Me

And Danny's works are more figurative abstraction like his dad:

Top to bottom: Activities; Bather; Shapes; Side By Side

And just look at this group of handsome men. It would be fun to own a work by each of them and display them as a triptych!
