Hello AC forumgoers!

I run an article site that features discourse on current events, contemporary philosophy, political critiques and environmental issues - but with also a good emphasis on beauty and art.

Anyway - I have a writer covering the question of who some of the best, most creative, most talented artists (painters or digital artists) are that not many people know about - or at least who deserve more exposure and recognition.

Can anyone suggest some artists? We have been scouring the net for pics and names - but I would love to hear some feedback from a community of artists who probably know better

I can post the link to the finished article if anyone wants

Cheers

John

That's a pretty open-ended question. There are so many stages to an artist's career, so many degrees of notoriety, so many areas of visual art. I don't have any specific suggestions offhand, but do enjoy discovering new artists in magazines like Juxtapoz and in anthologies such as the Spectrum collections of SF and fantasy art.

Well thanks for making suggestions -- I will comb through those sources and see what I can find. I guess the question is pretty open-ended...we'd recently run a different article, "What is the latest movement in visual art?" with a focus on painters, specifically. My writer covered several artists from the Energy Art Movement and the piece seemed to do well, so we wanted to go with another piece about independent artists/painters struggling for more exposure.

We didn't really have a specific genre or area in mind -- having an eclectic mix would actually be best probably!
