Here are some fantastic paintings by Kurt Lighter.

Drawing influence from American masters like Albert Pinkham Ryder, Randall Stoltzfus painstakingly paints works which focus on light and an optical effect that he calls a good accident.  

Erik Otto does some amazing paintings that are linear, fluid and ripe with texture.  Oh yeah, he does some nice sculpture too.

In his new series, An American Revolution Revolution, Shawn Huckins comments on today’s American culture, technology and how we interact with one another. Huckins feels our love affair with our little devices may be eroding our society in some ways and poses the question, “What would George post?”

As the year comes to an end, I, like many, tend to reflect on the last year. One thing I enjoy is looking back to see what posts readers of Today in Art like most. The best way I have of doing this today is by looking at the most visited posts.

Trent Call is a talented artist creating paintings, drawings, illustrations, comics, murals and more. Apparently he stays pretty busy and his website is full of great work.  Trent’s artwork is rich with movement, color and pattern in a range of dynamic styles.

Chris Trueman delivers an explosion of color, line and texture in his most recent paintings. I first featured Chris Trueman’s work in 2008 when his style was more geometric and controlled. While Trueman’s current style still includes geometric elements, the paint is more fluid and energetic.
