Artist Creates Multiple Paintings to Hand-Cut and Reassemble Them Into A Single Art Piece











Vancouver based mixed media artist Anastasia Kimmett creates abstract paintings with variety of media including but not limited to ink, oil pastel, gold and silver leaf. Her art is inspired by nature - birch and aspen trees, landscapes, seasons and forest animals are the recurring theme in her work. She creates several paintings of the same subject matter on a heavy card, then hand-cuts them into small pieces that are reassembled into one art piece. The papers are fastened to a stained board and varnished for durability.

"Her works are rich in color and inspire the imagination to see depth and unlimited images and landscapes. What is seen when standing back from a finished piece will vary from person to person and from moment to moment but when one looks closer at 'the big picture', it will reveal itself for what it truly is, a collection of beautiful, tiny building blocks of pure emotion.

Zara Merrick Paints Birds With Vintage and Antique Fabrics








 




 
English textile artist Zara Merrick is a talented craftswoman who paints with fabric. She is currently working on a series of birds depicting different kinds of owls, parrots and other feathered creatures. The artist has a growing collection of fabric that she gathers from vintage stores and antique fairs.

She usually has the list of colors and patterns for the piece she is working on which organically changes if she comes across something that she thinks would do more justice to the piece. If textile patterns is the integral part of the process then embroidery is what brings her birds to life. Zara works for endless hours to stitch together every little piece of fabric giving it a three dimension and dense texture. 

You can see the creations she worked on in the past and find her new work along with behind the scenes on Instagram.
