Tumblr Monday 55

Matteo Massagrande (b.1959, Italy) - Interior IX / Interior VII. Oil and mixed media on canvas, 30x30 cm

For this Tumblr Monday we are pleased to have iamjapanese to share with us one of her favorite contemporary artists Matteo Massagrande, an accomplished painter and a talented engraver. In this series of paintings, Massagrande explores intimate interiors in varying states of deterioration. These derelict urban spaces once so full of life are hauntingly depicted through the use of light, subtlety of palette and cinematic use of perspective. His hard and almost cynical vision, which spotlights the hidden side of the urban environment, bridges the realism which characterized the literary and artistic creation of late XIX century Italy with gritty contemporary photo-realism. (cf. shine artists)

Tumblr Monday 47 Marc Cinq-Mars (b.1973, Canada) - Solitude. Mixte sur bois, 122x152cm (2008) For this Tumblr Monday, iamjapanese will share with us one of her favorite contemporary artists, the Quebec-based artist Mark Cinq-Mars. Mark’s painting reveals his research and inspirations from the dichotomy and the contrast of meaning. He uses textures and colors, the wrinkles and the dry skin on the man’s face, to tell his origins and resistance of the great intrigues.
