Sunlit shoreline landscape oil by Brianna Camp of Fairfax, Va.
Embrace the notion of uninhibited emotion, encapsulating freedom in artistic works in clay, glass, on paper and canvases.
Independence Day with an unfiltered twist lets creativity run wild. See unhinged sculptures, engagingly altered forms and brushstrokes that trail away. Minds will wander with wonder on meanderings of color and splashes of light.
Embrace drips, drops and smears as wabisabi — handmade perfection in imperfection — is the mission statement of the month. Artists are tilting foundations, ruffling rims and letting loose. They are abstracting the abstract and slathering on impressionism onto expressionism. Shop uncategorized and unlabelled art that is boundless.
Freeform marbled stoneware figural sculptures by Elke Seefeldt of Arlington, Va.
Altered sap0phire oil can woodfired vase by Brian Grow of Temple Hills, Md.
Find awesome asymmetry, edgy forms and concepts. Find figural sculptures of three expressive geometric stones. Raw and earthy woodfired works serve as vases, tealights and drinkware spattered with ash, surfaces kissed by fire. Veer from the expected with oval, off-center platters and casseroles swirled with pattern and attitude. These pieces challenge every tidy assumption about what fine pottery should be or look like.
Kilnformed glass wild “Vibrarion Bowl” gives off seismic vibes by Sandi Martina of Woodbridge, Va.
Kilnformed glass seems gelatinous as it melts and slumps with a mind of its own offering surprises of transparency tangled mixed with opaque accents. It’s art that was guided, not controlled and no two pieces emerge the same.
Expressive brushwork in bold strokes and fluid gestures honor the spirit of Eastern ink painting, where the mark made in motion spontaneously colors outside the lines. See stalking tigers, wild horses and birds in flight on stoneware, porcelain and paper. Canvas meets chaos with oil paintings that celebrate gestural freedom on canvas and copper, featuring inspired brushwork, daring color and compositions that trust the instinct over establishment.
