Brent Koby is definitely one of the artists, who could inspire me to create majestic art. Majority of the images on the website have that charming fairytale quality. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to find out a lot about this artist and the way in which he works, because for me personally, a little insight into his technique would be exceptionally fruitful.
What particularly stand out about his work are the textured backgrounds, which makes the whole work looked aged and yet modern (due to content) it makes the whole work into a riddle for me. Some of his works, have that mystical feel of Japanese Woodblock prints, and in general seem to be a part of the Japanese art culture.
Some of Brent’s work is particularly exciting as it is composed out of a number of different materials, layered on top of each other to create reasonably complex compositions: real flowers and leaves, cardboard and newspaper as well as his cut-out character design are placed over a painted background to create a feeling of space and dimension.
The themes of the work are varied, but the unifying factor is that there is an integrated message. Majority of meanings are soft and gentle but you will definitely find some that will get you thinking.
