wait whaaattt?

While I was looking up information about my last post, I stumbled upon this artist, and I fell in love. I feel I have no choice but to meet the man who created these pieces. They are all so bright, beautiful, innovative and eye-catching. His name is Archan Nair, and he is from New Delhi and has been featured in advertisements.

The piece I chose is called Home...it was for a project called Gaia 10. This is a project which has artists coming together to capture the beauty found in nature through art; the idea is to raise awareness for climate change. This is mixed media, i believe he does most of this with photoshop. When i found this out, part of me died inside. I love that it looks somewhat like a watercolor. It would have a different feel without the negative space left by the "brush marks" I like how some of the colors overlap the outlines. I like the diagonal movement of the piece and also the unity of it, created by the colors he used.
