Hadley Holliday   Warp and Weft print pattern

LA based artist Hadley Holliday has created these intricate paintings that, similar to their name sake Warp and Weft, appear to weave in and out of each other in a hypnotic Kaleidoscope of pattern. Just like looking through a Kaleidoscope itself the colours and patterns appear to ripple and reflect with each other. Holliday says, “The circles create the effect of overlapping lenses, with each section in the pattern creating it’s own depth of field. The overall effect is simultaneously unified and fractured. I use paint very fluidly and pour the colour into the shapes, or work wet on wet. The paintings look very different when dry, so the results are a bit of a surprise…the work always looks very different outside the studio.” We love her use of Indigo blue in this series and you can see more at hadleyholliday.com

Mysterious Assemblages   Eva Eun Sil Han inspiration

Layering materials hides the original identity of photographs, transforming them into these mysterious, collaged assemblages. Flashes of colour, from found papers, add depth and contrast  in the bold monochromatic mood of the collection. Layers and repetition of shape create an inherent sense of pattern and control – as well as adding a 3D element to a flat image. The recurring circular form has become a signature of Eva Eun-Sil Han – find more of these intriguing pieces at evahan.weebly.com

Visual Mantras   Ana Montiel print pattern

These colourful, illustrative patterns are the work of Spanish visual artist Ana Montiel. Through her ongoing project ‘Visual Mantras’, Montiel explores pattern through repetitive drawing, reflection and mirroring. Geometrics and florals are delicately juxtaposed creating complex, intricate kaleidoscopic patterns. Hand drawn aesthetics are accentuated through the use of soft colour pencils and watercolours. A mixture of delicate pastels and rich primary brights, create a gorgeous summer colour palette which is full of energy. As well as textile patterns Ana Montiel also explores illustration, typography and graphics. See more of her work, and the ‘Visual Mantras’ series, at anamontiel.com
