Artists to Watch in 2023

As we ring in the New Year, we are taking note of several artists that stood out in 2022, many of whom garnered auction results which far exceeded their estimates.

The new year is just hours away and before we ring it in, we wanted to reflect on the great visual artists that we lost this year. They represented icons of the international art scene, and their contributions were immeasurable.

Lucian Freud Centennial

Today marks the centennial birthday of the preeminent modernist Lucian Freud (1922-2011) and we’re celebrating by spotlighting select pieces from the artist’s illustrious practice.

World Heart Day

Today is World Heart Day! Created by the World Heart Federation, this day is to inform that Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of death, claiming 18.6 million lives each year, and to educate that by controlling risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, at least 80% of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke could be avoided.

Unconventional Materials

What’s That Made Of?!

Zhuang Hong Yi, Fine rice paper with acrylic on canvas

Contemporary artists are constantly pushing limits, particularly in the often unconventional ways they employ their creative mediums and materials. Traditional mediums such as graphite, oil, and acrylic paints are still commonly used, however, artists all over the world have found new and innovative ways to express themselves through art in different forms.

There exists an endless array of out-of-the-box materials in the artworld, including neon lights, rice paper, steel-pins, compact discs, thread, smoke, felt, beads, glass, cans and even garbage.

Check out some of our favourite pieces made using unconventional materials below. If you are interested in any of these artists, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
