I chose to share some of Larry Rivers work even though his style of work is very different from mine. I've learned to love Larry's style of abstraction. His work is so fascinating, the incomplete aspect of it in combination with his infamous Pop Art style makes me ask questions. To me, good art makes you ask questions. 

I love Pop Art, primarily because some of the coolest artist's in the world are Pop Artists. Larry is known as the "Grandfather" of Pop art because he was one of the first artists to really merge non-objective, non-narrative art with narrative and objective abstraction. That's pretty rad if I don't say so myself.

Milen is a professional artist from New York City who specializes in abstract oil paintings. With subjects ranging from fashion figures & galaxy paintings to realistic and abstract cityscapes, Milen's work is best known for it's rich "chunky" brush strokes and bold colors. I was immediately attracted to the perspective in which Milen designs his cityscapes. The way he transitions from light to dark, as well as the placement and size of the people he paints, all combine to create a wider angle for his paintings. Milen's technique is absolutely stunning and creates a beautiful story in every piece.
