We tried to take the month of August off, but there are just too many portrait shows and releases piling up in our email box so we're returning early.
Ikenaga Yasunari creates phenomenal contemporary female portraits, but in old Japanese style. Enjoy!
The Year in Pictures covered a David Bailey contact sheet show in the UK that we think is certainly worth re-posting. At Hideout we find outtakes just as intriguing as the photographs selected by editors.
DesignDiary turned us on to Adolf Correa's unique style.
Unsure if he creates works which are then utilized by brands or if it commission from start, but be sure to check Adolf's portfolio to see how brands such as Adidas are utilizing his wide array of talents.
Brooklynite Gallery has two fantastically deep portrait artist shows on dispay, David Walker and Guy Denning. If you can stand the heat best to catch it in person before it closes on July 10th.
The Poster District hipped us to a Portuguese street artist Vhils who chips away at walls and poster boards to create portraits unlike any we're seen before. Certain worth checking out for a few minutes.
My Love For You...had the scoop on a refreshing portrait show a 6allery by Jason C. Arnold titled "Skate Life". We just love it when people take liberties with portraits such as his Anti Pope, Ollie Lama, "Cube...KYS" pieces.
Just picked this up and we suggest you do too! Not only is it stunning, but the bathroom wall art aesthetic is something missing from our art/culture collection.
We tip our hat to The Lumper for introducing us to Nick Lepard. Thought provoking, beautiful, and a bit disturbing, just they way we like our portraits.
We're been a bit disappointed as of late with Shep, but he came through 100 with the current releases for his new show at Deitch. Drymounted was the first place we saw them so we're linking to their post. The Basquiat and Ali works are among his best portraits to date.
PSFK post about Italian artists Sten & Lex creating shredded stencil portraits is worth checking out.
