A new day means both a clean slate and the carrying on of time. Sometimes all it takes is a new day for an idea to suddenly come together, or a problem to finally work itself out. That crystal feeling of waking up with newfound clarity feels like magic.. though is perhaps more like a learning from yesterday.. and the subconscious fixing puzzles whilst we sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month\u2019s picks stem from this coming into clarity, the moving towards lucidity that coalesces in its own time. We\u2019re also feeling (somewhat) older and wiser, now that of May 4th<\/sup>, NewBloodArt will be celebrating 17 years of existence and the drawing of attention to incredible emerging artists. We\u2019ve always been about clear vision \u2013 promoting the creativity of young artists, whilst allowing buyers to make sense of their own tastes, musings, and imaginative possibilities. In mysterious ways, these current picks connect to moments of clarity, wisdom, and transparency \u2013 whether it\u2019s in the glassy application of paint, hyper-real depictions, or metaphorical \u2018wading through water\u2019 of a scene..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take \u2018Tokyo Swim\u2019 by Lily Senner<\/a>. The use of candy colours and bold marker pens makes for a statement piece that uses its materials with flair, depicting a pool where we can see the bottom\u2026 to jump into the work would be a sure-fire road to fun. Yasmin Davidson\u2019s \u2018Views to rise and shine festival\u2019<\/a>, similarly makes a shining scene known through assured marks in verdant, day-glow colouring. Peter Kettle\u2019s \u2018Odyssey\u2019<\/a> represents its title, a journey of sorts, each emerging colour and texture an earthily stoic rumination on life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assuredness to reflect also pops up in the less abstract pieces \u2013 take Phoebe Hardwick\u2019s incredibly tender drawing \u2018Before I knew you\u2019<\/a>. As if titled by the subject herself with some newfound knowledge, the sitter is depicted isolated from a meal-table gathering, pensive, as if a different person before presumably someone went and changed her life.. Sean Winn\u2019s more confrontive \u2018Do You Even Love Me?\u2019<\/a>, shows a figure coming out the shadows, with a question, with passion, and maybe a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As David OM\u2019s piece\u00a0\u2018Painting Is Infinite<\/a>\u2019 reveals, art is always coming to infinite moments of clarity. Darkness pervades and cascades, but as in OM\u2019s skyscape, moments of light are there for the taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
