Many visual artists have been increasingly using Instagram to create a fan base and steady following of their Art.  It’s a great and easy way to show the public what they have been working on!   Every period, we will feature selected visual artists that caught our attention.  Here is our first edition for December.

Antoine TAVA

Montreal Pop Artist Antoine Tava represented by LeRoyer gallery is refreshing and unique. We love his screaming hearts, melting figures and recognized characters such as Tintin, Mickey Mouse, and Andy Warhol.   Each piece has something special and yet you can easily recognize his style and colors.

 

Dominic Besner

Contemporary artist Dominic Besner is represented by many galleries around the world. We love the combination of style, subjects, colors and technique he uses in his paintings.   Already well established, you can find his website here.

L7M

Brazilian artist represented by urban art gallery Station16 in Montreal – this street artist is known worldwide for his murals of colorful edgy birds.  The South American influence creates something you might not be used to in a very positive way!

Art and coffee? Sounds like a perfect Sunday morning.  This artist has created paintings of beautiful horses using a mixing palette of natural sources such as coffee mixed with acrylic and ink.  The combination is beautiful, simple and authentic.  The self-taught artist has a growing fan base you should be part of! We love her creation video below.
