Paintings by Brian Mashburn

Brian Mashburn is an American artist based in the mountains of North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he received a BFA in 2002.
Brian’s work depicts urban and industrial landscapes in close proximity to the natural world. Primarily an oil painter, Mashburn uses narrative and meticulous attention to detail to engage the viewer. His landscapes are often both heavy handed and subtle, universally applicable and allegorical.
Mashburn’s influences range from everyday observations to his Asian-American heritage. He cites his childhood experience of going to Chinese language school on weekends as the origin for his interest in the painted line as well as his strong work ethic. Moreover, the heavy mists of Appalachia and smog of southeastern China and Hong Kong inform his foggy aesthetic.
Brian lives in Asheville, NC.

Man Loses Over 400 Pounds Using Taylor Swift Songs As Inspiration (6 pics)

Ronnie Brower weighed 675 pounds two years ago and doctors told him that he probably wasn't going to live past the age of 35. That's when one of his old teachers, Joe Bufano step in to help Ronnie make a change. Ronnie credits Joe and Taylor Swift's music for helping him get in shape. He says he started doing simple exercises around the house to Taylor Swift songs until he was healthy enough to get out and go to the gym.

Photographs from Sarah Lawrie.

Sarah is a Canadian photographer and visual artist living in Toronto. Throughout her childhood and teenage years she had a great love and curiosity for photography but it wasn’t until the death of her parents and several events following that her passion grew monumentally.

Determined and self taught she was able to learn the craft and improve her skills. She reveals strong, heartfelt emotions not only in her self portraiture but in every subject, as a way to express her innermost feelings of love and loss. The birth of her children expanded her vision and they are often  the subject of her work.

Ideal City Stéphanie Roland

Roland’s “ideal city” is a strange and beautiful series of images that deliberately and knowingly blends science with fiction.

There are echoes of the great 18th century conceptual architect Louis Boullée in the imaginary, impossible structures that seem to outstrip their contexts, and a highly developed, almost cinematic sense of suggested narrative between the different images in the series as a whole.

Technically sophisticated and working with (rather than against) the potential of digital technology, Roland’s work seems to have found precisely the right visual language for her subject, downplaying, rather than overworking the otherworldly aesthetic effects. It is quietly convincing and therefore very effective as a photographic vision of the future. 

~ Simon Baker, photography curator at the New Tate Modern Gallery
