Something that tickles my fancy.


I recently found an artist that caught my eye and after further observation, my interest has been elevated. Hope Gangloff's works often contain figures as subjects and are extremely well done. She has a knack for integrating balance through the stark differences between the figures and objects within the piece. Not only are they technically "good", but I really enjoy the combination of color and style. Her unusual subject matter and situations within the pieces also draw me to them. I like to have a good time when I look at art and these make me giggle but simultaneously say, "Whoa, that's good stuff." It seems the more I look at good art, the more I want to make good art. I guess anyone should know that helps. Yes, Hope Gangloff, you're a good woman.
