Deceptively Simple Art

February 17, 2005 2:21 PM

A while back, a friend of mine introduced me to Kurt Halsey Frederiksen and I immediately fell in love with his work. Since then, I've been on the hunt for artists who have an equally "simple," yet beautiful and eloquent style. Can any of you recommend artists in a similar vein? (Preferably with online galleries or printed books of their art that I could purchase.)

While they're not quite the same, I have managed to find Cire and little rocket dot net, but...I need more! Please help!

You might also like Jen Corace. In her portfolio, under "Extra!" is a piece that I love - the one with the girl and three birds. I don't know what she has for sale, but I'm sure you could e-mail her!

You may love Joe Sorren (I do). Look at the archive gallery, and check out his great mural in Flagstaff. He has prints and at least one book available.

Response by poster: These were all excellent links (although I have to admit I was hoping to find a few more when I checked back). I especially liked Joe Sorren's work, but they were all interesting and new-to-me, so thank you very much!
