This week we have added a selection of very recent work by Californian artist Emily Silver.

Emily throws tradition out of the window, approaching her drawings as extensions of her sculptural work. Surfaces are built with an eclectic mix of sculptural materials in addition to paint & pencil. The results are innovative and exciting. As subject matter she looks to funerals, parties, parades and carnivals, using iconography, materials and colors associated with these events to create her artwork. On a conceptual level Emily's work examines the space between the celebratory and the tragedy. Often comedy is used through the incorporation of a written 'punch line'. While crude, funny or devastating, Silver uses comedy to make a poignant comment on the resilience of the human spirit and the role of ritual in our lives. Visit EMILY SILVER to see the full portfolio of work. Prints start at $85.00 AUD.

Elise Lee's signature graphic pop style draws inspiration from minimalism and Asian Pop Art to create an exciting, uplifting & clean cut visual experience. Playing with the iconography of donuts, love hearts and sausage tubes, Lee's work is quirky and fun - perfect for a space that needs a little life. Lee earned her post graduate degree in Fine Art from the renowned Pratt Institute in New York City before moving to Los Angeles where she currently lives and works. She exhibits across the United States and in Korea and has been published in Art Buzz, Art Slant and Studio Visit Magazine. TWFineArt is Lee's exclusive dealer in Australia and we are thrilled to introduce her to our portfolio of limited edition prints. Elise's range of prints can be sized from SMALL: 400 mm x 500mm to XL 800mm x 1000mm and look fantastic set against a minimal backdrop or room design. Visit our SHOP to view Elise's full series of available work. We will print, frame, pack and ship the work directly to your door, or you can pick it up in the TWFineArt Gallery & GuideShop on James Street in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.

YELLOW as a paint color has a long history. It was first seen in the cave paintings of Lascaux over 16,000 years ago. Originally derived from the yellow ochre pigment in clay, all kinds of yellows can now be synthetically produced through modern chemistry. The first three words that spring to mind when I hear the word ‘YELLOW’ are light, accent and bold. Light because yellow seems to mimic the color and warmth of the sun. Accent because yellow has the ability to highlight any other color that it’s backed up against, and bold because of it's power to do so. For all those reasons yellow can be tough to use in a painting, but spectacular when used successfully. We’ve put together a selection of our favorite paintings from history that master and celebrate all that is YELLOW.
