Why do we appreciate art? What is it about art that draws us in? What is it about art that makes us tick, that is even essential for the survival of the world at times? Perhaps it’s because art is a reflection of who we are as a people, and when an artist manages to tap into that zeitgeist, it forms a connection with everyone lucky enough to witness their work in action.

That’s exactly what Austin Howlett has managed to do. With nearly 77,000 followers and counting, this is one man who knows what he wants to say, but also isn’t afraid to allow the viewer to come to their own conclusion. A surrealistic oil painter, he often paints pictures of living giants roaming the wilderness and lying down near mountains. He also likes to paint portraits of women who are “one with the trees”.

These descriptions aren’t supposed to make so much sense. When it surrealistic art ever easily explained by mere text? The best way for you to get it is to observe the art yourself, and that’s exactly what you can do by scouring through Howlett’s Instagram account. The more you scroll through his work, the more you’ll see why he’s so popular. Heck, you might even decide to give him a follow yourself!

Making good street art requires a different kind of skill than traditional art. Instead of using a basic rectangular canvas like most painters, the world around you is your canvas. Many wouldn’t be able to thrive in this scenario, but Juandres Vera isn’t one of those people. In fact, Vera’s street art is so darn incredible that you would think he was born to be a street artist.

The Barcelona native creates work that makes it look as though the city is coming alive before your very eyes. It can be anything from a giant brick oven with a hand protruding from it, holding a fresh hot loaf of bread, to a realistic-looking tunnel leading towards an Arizona desert.

There seems to be nothing this young man is unable to paint, but it’s the manner in which he incorporates it with the public items in the vicinity that elevates it to otherworldly heights. If you’re wondering if his work has garnered popularity, perhaps Vera’s 24,000 plus followers on Instagram are an indication of his success—and you should totally join them and become a follower too if you like his work.

Somethings the less you say in a painting says a whole lot more. Jesse Morrison, who has an Instagram artist account under the name “BorgDorg”, knows this very well. The more you look through his incredible paintings, the more you come to appreciate his style, and his uncanny use of the abstract.

Morrison’s art understands that it doesn’t always have to tell you something specific. It’s there to make you feel a certain way through texture and color. This, in its own right, is a form of communication, albeit not one that they teach in schools.

In many ways, it’s a language of emotion and feeling. Morrison, like many other great artists before him, seems to understand that this type of communication is just as important, if not more so. Looking at the painting below, one may conjure up images from outer space, as well as the ocean tide, in one mere sitting. This is no small feat!

If you’re interested in seeing more of Morrison’s work, feel free to check out his account and give him a follow!

Famed Chinese visual artist Ai Weiwei will present a series of his new works at an exhibition in London’s Design Museum in April. Among displayed works will be his take on Claude Monet’s iconic oil painting series “Water Lillies” made with LEGO bricks.

Titled “Water Lilies #1,” the 50-foot-wide work consists of 650,000 individual LEGO bricks in 22 colors. It captures Monet’s impressionist style but in an unexpected medium, resulting in an intriguing piece of art. 

“In ‘Water Lilies #1’ I integrate Monet’s Impressionist painting, reminiscent of Zenism in the East, and concrete experiences of my father and me into a digitized and pixelated language,” Ai said in a statement. “Toy bricks as the material, with their qualities of solidity and potential for deconstruction, reflect the attributes of language in our rapidly developing era where human consciousness is constantly dividing.”

Ai Weiwei has been prominently using LEGO bricks in his works since mid-2000s. This includes a series of LEGO posters depicting Eastern zodiac animals as well as an art installation Untitled (Lego Incident) consisting of LEGO bricks that were donated to him from fans around the world. 

The “Ai Weiwei: Making Sense” exhibition will open on April 7 and will be on display until July 30.

There’s something about Corneliu Dragan’s work that makes you look at things differently. This is the goal of any serious artist, and Dragan seems to have succeeded in that regard with flying colors (no pun intended). Using the medium of watercolor paint, this artist has a very unique style that’s hard to ignore. The more you try to pinpoint what he’s doing, the more elusive it becomes—and therein lies its charm.

In that sense, Dragan is not unlike a magician who never reveals his tricks. You can see quite clearly that he’s a master of his craft, because his paintings are so specifically constructed that they feel intentional in every sense of the word. Perhaps this is why over 34,000 people made the decision to follow his Instagram page—which you should do as well if you like what you see.

As far as what he paints, you’ll often see him share watercolors of hustle and bustle city life, from fascinating European architecture to public transportation to average commuters on the way to work. From this perspective, he paints a relaxing, calm impression on regular life, which is probably why his work is so popular. Elevating the mundane is no simple task, and he’s done so with apparent ease.
