Marcus Aitken was chosen by Saatchi Art as an artist to watch in 2020 and I couldn't agree more. His abstract paintings are mature and fluid in their rendition. I hope we see more from this artist.

My favourite artist: Elliotte Puckette
I first came across Elliotte Puckette's work in Elle Decor and I have been enamored with her work ever since. She paints most of her work with a razor by cutting out pieces of wood that she initially painted with ink. The result is something else. There are no dead-ends in her work. Instead the line work continues unabridged. It is whimsical and appealing to the viewer. Here I have picked out a wide assortment so you can judge for yourself.

The art of Montreal-based artist Ksenia Sizaya's
Ksenia Sizaya was born in St. Petersburg and studied there until her move to Montreal. She derives inspiration from a variety of sources but especially her environment. He abstract works are bold in colour and show a strong sense of balance. Meanwhile, her landscape paintings display a high degree of skill and talent. She is clearly in tune with the natural world. It is surprising her work hasn't garnered more attention. I have included images of her work in interior spaces to show how complementary her work is.

Playing Musical Notes with Artist Caio Fonseca
American born artist Caio Fonseca spends his time between New York and Petrasanta, Italy. He honed his craft in Europe during his twenties and he can now enjoy quiet success in his home town. The key to understanding his work is to see the layering technique he has perfected over the years. Layers upon layers, his abstract forms play like musical notes between foreground and background. This sort of hide and seek approach is enriched by the sum of colour which he introduces to his art. From far away you cannot tell what is painted first. Upon inspection you can see the amount of time and energy he devotes to his craft and especially to choosing and mixing his colours. His technique is similar to Jeffrey Gibson's earlier work who used layering and subtraction to arrive at his work's completion. But ultimately Caio Fonseca's artwork is most similar to itself. His colour scheme and forms seem like they could dance from one painting to the next. At best they are viewed together although alone they make for an impressive feat.
