Summer is rolling around the corner and that means new inspiration to all. Refreshing your collection to suit the seasons may be a tedious task but Fiidaa Art is here to help! We have carefully picked out our top artists to look out for this summer, presenting you with works that fit the season festivities, and last you a lifetime.
1 PARTAKE IN JOYOUS FUN WITH STEPHANIE HO
One Fine Day 01 by Stephanie Ho paints summer-filled happy scenes of families, couples, or friends. Hopping in puddles or building sandcastles, “One Fine Day 01” captures snippets of joy, stuck in a moment, enjoying what is - well - a fine day.
Inspired by a seaside holiday, Stephanie remained true to her interest in observing human activities in Metropolitan city life and her exploration of silhouettes in this series. Her works are based mainly on photographs, where she sometimes paints what she sees. Her minimalist approach allows us to focus more on the details of the tiny humans while leaving us much room for imagination.
The fun dots of colours brings a light, summery feel to your collections. Paired with the minute warm-weather festivities we see upon closer inspection, it’s no doubt that this series has made it onto our summer list.
2 RIDE THE WAVES WITH JOHN MARTONO
Journey of Happiness 3 by John Martono is a beautifully textured piece, playing with a cool palette. Fascinated by the way paint moves on silk, the unique material used enabled John to bring forth a new sight to paintings that we have never experienced before with normal canvases. The interesting composition of blue and red hues work together to create a dynamic interplay of colours that seems to be dancing together.
“‘The Journey of Happiness’ is a never ending creative thinking to find yourself.” — John Martono
The wavy interplay of colours creates a smooth movement that almost mimics the flow of water and waves. A refreshing sight to colourful abstracts that we believe is great for your collections this summer.
3 UNLOCK YOUR IMAGINATION WITH GEORGINA GRAY
Tropicana by Georgina Gray is a tropical fiesta with a mad mix of sun, sand, waves and party animals. A dog surfing the waves, a flamingo having beach ball fun and a watermelon Pac-man? This painting has an eclectic mix of everything fun and bright, sparking your imagination of what would be a perfect summertime holiday.
Georgina’s works are heavily inspired by travel and wildlife, giving rise to a distinctive carefree holiday feel. With a naïve art style, Georgina blesses us with these fun quirky characters that add personality to her works and allow us to relive our childhood dreams and imagination.
That carefree freedom is what we need to complete a summer collection. Explore more of Georgina in our Art in Play collection.
