It might be called ‘The Gram’, but it’s worth a TON of exposure. Instagram has always been all about visual impact, and it’s where you find some of the finest artists in the world today, from the heavyweights to the hidden talent. Abir Pothi embarks on a series that will highlight the best of Instagram artists we manage to discover — those whose artistry you could take an ‘Insta-nt’ liking to!
Margaret Jeane’s works are soothing to look at. The pastel colours used are very subtle and transport you to a windy day in a field.
Hannah Forward’s paintings are quite unique in the subject matter that they depict. Take a look at this colourful piece depicting some skiers in action but has managed to create a magnificent visual.
Raysa Fontana’s art is contemporary and quirky. Our favourite piece is this one capturing multiple open tabs on a laptop screen. It is almost funny to look at.
Brian McHenry’s art is distinctive in its style and forms. We particularly loved this piece. In his own words, it is “A drawing about childhood dream involving talking tigers that wandered the woods outside my primary school in the snow and ate children. Somehow also involving a ‘black-operations’ program run by the british military in the 1970’s and Richard Brautigan”. He has titled it “Satanic panic and how the british agents stoked supernatural fears in North Belfast”
Anna Kora Bartyzel’s work is very minimalistic. Most of them are on an off white background with protruding objects. Take a look at this one!
