“To You From My View” - Acrylic on Wood - 2006
Amy Sol is a Korean-born/Las Vegas- based artist. She paints delicate, whimsical, dreamy, fantastical worlds populated by girls, animals and exotic plants, all interacting in fluid mesmerizing dreamscapes. Amongst this subject matter, exists harmonizing and reflective interplay between correspondences which chronicles the affluent story line. To further increase a sense of enigmatic mystery to these “stories”, Amy creates her own unique cocktail mix of color pigments and mediums to achieve a subtly muted pallet. This enables her to paint in a soft graphic style - a style that’s greatly influenced by a combination of manga, folk-art, vintage illustration and modern design.

These are beautiful as illustrations with subtle use of tonal colour - I guess though that they don’t seem to me to be really about art - no matter what medium. They play on the cute, big eyed look you see in some graphics which is fine but because the theme and mood of the work appears repetitious I see them more as design. Good luck. I feel that good manga for example explores our warm as well as our darker side and thus could find deeper meanings - as all art should to my mind do.

@Gianni - interesting point, your focusing on the fine art/ illustration overlap. Let me ask: when does illustration become art? Or, when does art become illustration? The answer will always be in the intent.
In my humble opinion, these are works of art. And, so being, are to be read as such.

agreed its about intent. Guess what I am missing is the organic feeling of painting and hand drawing in my own practice- being an artist who has moved from primarily doing ink work, gouche, charcoal, graphite, oils mixed media etc to now using digital processes for most of my art work.

Nice art. I found it ironic that Gianni compared this to ‘big-eyed’ manga. Dust and sunshine can also make my eyes look mean. I, personally, liked the whimsical darkness of these pieces.

Lovely.

I can’t exactly point out why, but this artist’s work reminds me alot of My Neighbor Totoro.
Perhaps cause the animals look kind of passive but happy, and are fuzzy and grey.
