Emerging Artists of 2023
We are all curious to know what the next year will bring us in terms of new-age art. This article hopes to give a glimpse of the emerging artists of 2023.
Emma Stern
This New York-based artist Emma Stern uses traditional oil on canvas to mimic sculptures made with 3D technology. She also uses iridescent pastel works and merges futuristic and fantasy themes to create her version of feminist and empowering pieces. This year, 2022, Emma Stern had her solo exhibition titled "Booty" which opened at the Half Gallery in New York City. She pays great attention to detail and is ambitious in her work. Beautiful motifs of empowering women shine through her work.
Tala Madani
Tala Madani is an Iranian-American artist who creates fascinating mind-bending images that reflect current issues regarding gender and political authority. Her paintings and creations are thought-provoking and use slapstick humor to create understandable metaphors for the message she is trying to convey. Her work has been displayed internationally, from Tokyo to Stockholm and London.
Frieda Toranzo Jaeger
Frida Jaeger's paintings are borderline sculptures and evoke a futuristic feel. In her multi-paneled paintings, Toranzo creates elaborate scenes that are almost three-dimensional. Her latest installation, Autocanvasive, is a multi-canvas series of her futuristic take on vehicles.
Kathryn Macnaughton
Canadian artist Kathryn Macnaughton successfully combines expressionism and geometric figures while employing shadow tricks and curvy elements to create natural and feminine pieces. She has had her work presented in several renowned galleries around the world. Mixing abstraction and reality, her pieces bring a fresh perspective on abstract art.
Sara Sadik
Sara integrates technology into her work and has created visuals using the computer games Grand Theft Auto and Ultimate Vatos to create the effect of watching from behind the scenes of a video game. Her intimate installations have given new life to technology, seamlessly combining it with artistic and futuristic elements.
Mimosa Echard
A French visual artist, Mimosa Echard has made her mark in the art world by creating art inspired by the coexistence of living and non-living, human and non-human. Her works include the integration of medicinal plants to create hybrid ecosystems. Echard's installations have gone international, and her exhibits never fail to awe.
Dana-Fiona Armour
Dana studied in Paris, where she became fascinated by the comparison between human and non-human existence. Combining science and art, she has assigned a much deeper and more investigative meaning to the craft. Her work is proof that there is truly no limit to artistic expression.
Teboho Makoatsa
Teboho was born in South Africa and was mentored from a young age by Daniel Novela. Teboho moved to Johannesburg to study art and quickly outgrew the art group to continue painting and experimenting independently. His extensive series titled Heels began just over a year ago. He describes the paintings as, “A girl child is fascinated by following her mom's footsteps. It is so surprising to learn that children generally have minds that are ready to capture anything they come across.” Thousands of people have found a connection to his beautiful series of works.
Jason Farley
Over the last summer, Jason Farley has been experimenting with the artwork he has been creating for decades. The Chicagoan took inspiration from contemporary surrealism, then added a world of beauty, luxury, and raw human emotion. This was the work he had been longing to create. With a previous portfolio rooted in pop culture, the artist transitioned his newest series to include nuances of personal experience.
Lixan Cai
Lixan Cai is a famous painter in Asia and has been selling her artwork for well over a decade. Yet the United States is a brand-new territory for her. She is multidisciplinary, including oil painting, sculpture, animation, and multimedia. She had one of the largest booths, displaying some unbelievably detailed portraits at a recent art fair in Chicago.
Chadwick
Chad Christian, aka Chadwick, is an artist from the Midwest. Each piece displayed masks the identity of its subject with micro-shreds of paint for a textural element we haven't seen much of before.
There are many more artists to look out for in the year 2023. As you can see, the bar is set very high with many talented artists making their entry into the world of art. It will indeed be an exciting new year with such a variety of talent!
